This end-terrace Victorian property on Old Road offers a straightforward, chain-free purchase for first-time buyers, investors or young families. The home retains period red-brick character and a feature fireplace, while providing practical living: a lounge, fitted kitchen, downstairs WC, two bedrooms and a three-piece bathroom. Gas central heating and double glazing are in place, so the house is immediately habitable.
The layout and footprint (approximately 821 sq ft) suit a range of buyers — buy-to-let investors seeking a low-entry Manchester asset, or a couple/family wanting a starter home close to transport links. The property’s proximity to the Metrolink station and local amenities makes daily commuting and shopping convenient.
The house needs modernisation: kitchen, bathroom and some decorative finishes are dated, and parts of the interior show signs of wear and minor damp/mould in the living room decor. The solid brick walls likely lack cavity insulation, so buyers should budget for energy-efficiency upgrades. The rear yard and small front garden suit low-maintenance outdoor needs but offer limited scope for expansion.
The local area is classified as very deprived overall, which may affect long-term resale and rental demand; however, nearby primary and secondary schools have good Ofsted ratings and the immediate neighbourhood reports very low crime. This is a pragmatic purchase for someone prepared to invest modestly in updates to add value and comfort.
