This mid-terrace Victorian home on Bolton Road offers straightforward living across two good-sized bedrooms and two reception rooms. The layout suits first-time buyers, downsizers or landlords looking for a practical, easy-to-manage property close to Bury town centre. The rear garage provides secure off-street parking, and the small, low-maintenance garden is simple to keep.
The house retains period character — arched windows and a fireplace in the living room — but does need some updating in places. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than a central system, which can be costly and may prompt buyers to install a modern boiler or electric heating upgrade. The property is double glazed (install date unknown) and has a D EPC rating.
Important ownership facts are straightforward: long leasehold (999 years from 1889) with £27 ground rent and Band A council tax, and the sale is chain-free for faster completion. The wider area shows local socioeconomic challenges and deprived indicators, which is relevant for buyers considering future value or rental demand, while crime levels are very low and amenities and schools are within easy reach.
Overall this is a practical, affordable house with clear potential: cosmetically tidy-ups and heating improvements would add comfort and value, and the off-street parking and town-centre proximity are strong advantages for commuters, small families or investors seeking a straightforward let.
