This mid-terraced Victorian two-bedroom home on Winstanley Street is offered with a tenant in situ, making it immediately income-producing. The property includes two reception rooms, a fitted kitchen and a family bathroom across approximately 743 sq ft. Practical benefits include double glazing installed after 2002, mains gas boiler and radiators, an EPC rating of C, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
The house requires modernization in parts—photographs note ceiling damp damage in the living room and general cosmetic updating is needed. Walls are cavity-constructed with no installed insulation (assumed), so energy efficiency upgrades could reduce bills and add value. The tenure is leasehold; buyers should check lease terms before purchase.
For investors, the current tenant pays £850 pcm and the property is sold with tenancy in place, offering immediate rental income. For owner-occupiers or renovators, the layout and period facade provide solid scope to improve aesthetics and thermal performance. Council Tax Band A and very low local crime are practical advantages for longer-term lettings or resale.
Location is convenient for schools (several rated Good), local shops and bus links within a major conurbation setting. Buyers should budget for remedial works to the damp-affected ceiling and potential insulation improvements. Professional inspection of services and any structural or damp issues is recommended before exchange.
