Accessible starter home with garden, bay window and long lease in a well-connected Bolton street.
Two-bedroom mid-terrace with bay-front reception room
A well-presented two-bedroom mid-terrace offering an accessible first home in Bolton. The bay-front reception room and large windows give a bright feel throughout, while a low-maintenance rear garden provides private outdoor space that is not directly overlooked. Practical features include double glazing (installed after 2002), fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for working from home or streaming.
The property is leasehold with a very long remaining term (circa 902 years) and sits on an average-sized 757 sqft footprint. It has a straightforward, traditional layout: entrance hall, living room, dining kitchen with storage and guest WC, plus two bedrooms and a three-piece bathroom upstairs. Nearby schools and local amenities are within easy reach, and transport links connect to wider Bolton and Manchester networks.
Be clear about a few material points: heating is provided by room heaters with mains gas supply rather than a full central-heating system, and the cavity walls are assumed to have no insulation — both of which may mean energy-efficiency improvements are desirable. The property is in a deprived area of similar blue-collar terraces, which may affect long-term resale values compared with more affluent neighbourhoods.
For a first-time buyer or buyer seeking a compact, characterful terrace with minimal outdoor maintenance, this house presents a sensible, affordable option. It balances immediate move-in condition with clear scope for simple upgrades (insulation, heating) to reduce running costs and add value.
