This two-bedroom Victorian end-of-terrace on Wellington Road offers a compact, move-in ready home suited to first-time buyers or commuters. The property benefits from a new kitchen (2023), a new kitchen roof (2023) and a damp-proof course completed in late 2024, reducing immediate maintenance concerns.
Practical comforts include gas central heating via a regularly serviced Baxi combi boiler, double glazing throughout and Velux windows with thermal blinds. The exterior brickwork has been stripped, repointed and waterproofed to preserve the period character, and rooms have been redecorated to a neutral standard.
Important considerations: the house is leasehold and sits in a high flood-risk area. Broadband speeds are slow locally and the neighbourhood records higher crime levels; buyers should factor these into insurance and lifestyle decisions. The property is solid-brick construction and likely lacks wall insulation, so buyers may wish to budget for energy improvements.
Chain-free sale and a short walk to Todmorden train station, shops and several well-rated local schools make this a practical entry-level purchase. The home’s size is modest (approximately 858 sq ft), so it will suit those seeking an economical, centrally located starter home rather than a large family footprint.
