This Victorian three-bedroom semi presents a straightforward opportunity for a first-time buyer or small family seeking period character and long views at an accessible price. The house sits freehold on a small corner plot with open, elevated views over the 6th green of Ashton-under-Lyne Golf Course and toward Hartshead Pike — a rare outlook for the area.
Internally the layout is traditional: entrance porch and hallway, separate dining room and lounge, fitted kitchen and two/three bedrooms with a shower room/WC. Key services are in place — UPVC double glazing and mains gas central heating — so the property is liveable while cosmetic and modernisation work is carried out.
The home requires routine updating rather than a full structural rebuild, but there are clear maintenance points: the front garden is overgrown, period brickwork and internal finishes show age, and a visual note of damp was indicated in one area. Cavity walls were built without insulation (assumed), so buyers should factor in future energy-improvement costs.
Priced to reflect its size and condition, the house offers strong potential as an affordable family home or buy-to-let in a neighbourhood with very low crime, good mobile and broadband coverage, and several well-rated local schools nearby. A survey is recommended to confirm services and to quantify any required repairs.
