A compact Victorian terrace in central Leigh, priced for an entry-level buyer. The house offers two bedrooms, two shower/bath rooms and useful period character such as exposed brick and traditional proportions. At about 796 sq ft it provides a practical layout with a lounge, dining kitchen and a small enclosed rear courtyard.
The property requires renovation and updating — the lounge was recently replastered and is still drying out — so expect remedial works and general cosmetic improvements. Services and appliances have not been tested; buyers should arrange a survey to confirm gas, electrics and heating. The home has gas central heating and double glazing already in place.
Street parking and an easy-to-maintain courtyard are practical for city living. Local amenities are close by (supermarket, bus routes, healthcare and takeaways) and several primary and secondary schools rated Good or Outstanding lie within walking distance. Council Tax Band A keeps ongoing costs low.
This is best suited to a first-time buyer willing to take on a straightforward renovation project or an investor seeking an affordable rental in a busy, blue-collar terrace area. Be aware the property is leasehold and located in a broadly deprived ward, which may affect long-term resale dynamics.
