Short walk to Heywood town centre and local amenities
Freehold with gas central heating and front double glazing

Solid brick walls likely uninsulated — consider insulation work
Very small enclosed paved rear yard; limited outdoor space
Very deprived area may constrain long‑term values; low crime
Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal; good commuter links
This two-bedroom mid-terrace on York Street offers a clear entry point for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking strong rental potential. The property sits a short walk from Heywood town centre and benefits from excellent transport links to nearby towns and the motorway network, plus fast broadband and reliable mobile coverage.
Internally the layout is straightforward: lounge, kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom. The house is double-glazed to the front and has gas central heating, but it requires refurbishment throughout — cosmetic updating, modern bathroom/kitchen work and likely energy-efficiency improvements (solid brick walls assumed uninsulated).
Externally there’s a very small, enclosed paved rear yard. The parcel is freehold with low council tax (Band B) and no flood risk. The property sits in a very deprived wider area which affects long‑term resale values, but crime levels are very low and nearby schools include several rated Good or Outstanding.
For investors this is a budget-priced terraced home with straightforward maintenance needs and tenant demand from constrained renters. For owner-occupiers it’s a low-cost purchase with scope to add value through targeted refurbishment and insulation improvements. Viewings recommended to assess condition and renovation scope.
