Summary - 236 BLOCK LANE CHADDERTON OLDHAM OL9 7QB
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Affordable starter home close to tram and local amenities.
Chain free, ready to occupy or modernise
A practical two-bedroom terraced townhouse offered chain-free and well suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The house sits on Block Lane with easy access to local shops, schools and public transport, including a Metrolink tram stop about a 10-minute walk away. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and council tax is low (Band A), helping running costs.
Internally the layout is straightforward: entrance porch, lounge, kitchen/diner, two first-floor bedrooms and a family bathroom. The property is broadly average in size (around 711 sq ft) and structurally typical of an early 20th-century red-brick terrace, offering immediate livability with clear scope to modernise and personalise. The long lease (about 911 years remaining) removes common leasehold concerns.
There are some practical drawbacks to note: the property shows signs of age and dated fittings, ceilings need attention, and the front garden requires repair. The wider area scores as very deprived, which can affect future resale values, though local crime is reported as very low. Buyers seeking a turnkey, modern finish should factor in refurbishment costs; for others this represents an affordable entry with clear potential.
