This chain-free, two-bedroom mid-terrace offers a compact, well-located starter home in Openshaw. At 755 sq ft it combines period character—high ceilings and original mouldings—with recent upgrades such as a modern kitchen and refurbished family bathroom. The layout includes separate living and dining rooms and a private rear patio, making it practical for everyday living and entertaining.
The location is a major selling point: excellent transport links, nearby supermarkets and amenities, and several well-rated primary and secondary schools within easy reach. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and the property is freehold with very low council tax and nominal ground rent, which helps running costs for first-time buyers.
Buyers should note the context and fabric: the wider area is classified as very deprived, and the plot is very small with limited outdoor space. The building is traditional solid-brick construction with no assumed wall insulation, so owners may want to consider energy-efficiency improvements. While many internal elements are newly renovated, some images indicate areas of older character that could benefit from further cosmetic updating.
Overall this house suits first-time buyers wanting an affordable, well-connected period home with immediate move-in potential and clear scope for value-adding improvements. Investors will also find appeal in the location and size, though they should factor in potential retrofit costs for insulation and any desired modernization of remaining original features.
