This two-bedroom mid-terrace on Mealhouse Lane offers a straightforward, affordable entry into Atherton’s housing market. Located within easy walking distance of the town centre and the V2 bus stop, the house is well placed for local shops, schools and public transport. The layout includes a living room, fitted kitchen/dining room, two double bedrooms and a modern three-piece shower room, plus a good-sized, low-maintenance rear yard.
The property is being sold chain free and has a long lease (around 870 years remaining), making the purchase administratively simple. It retains period character on the exterior and benefits from double glazing and gas central heating, yet it clearly needs some refurbishment inside — ideal for a buyer who wants to add value through updating and cosmetic works.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the home is leasehold, in a very deprived wider area classification which may affect resale speed, and there is an ongoing public notice/requisition on file. Council tax is very low and there is no flooding risk. For first-time buyers seeking an affordable starter home or investors targeting a refurbishment-let opportunity, this property presents clear potential, but budget for improvement work and factor local market conditions into offers.
Early viewing is recommended to assess the scale of renovation required and the layout in person. Buyers planning to refurbish should check services, insulation and any repairs to damp-prone areas typical of older terraces.
