This two-bedroom mid-terrace Victorian home on Delafield Avenue offers clear upside for investors or hands-on buyers willing to modernise. The property is freehold, compact at around 539 sq ft, and sits in a well-connected Longsight location with excellent public transport and local amenities nearby.
Internally the layout is straightforward: front living room, rear kitchen/diner with access to a very small private yard, two first-floor bedrooms and a family bathroom. The house has double glazing installed before 2002, mains gas heating with a boiler and radiators, and solid brick walls (likely uninsulated) — useful baseline features but in need of upgrade.
Key positives include low council tax, no flood risk and very low recorded crime, which supports rental appeal. Significant work is required: the property needs full modernisation, external paint and windows likely need replacement, and internal kitchens and bathrooms are dated. Buyers should budget for refurbishment and insulation improvements to maximise value.
This property suits investors seeking a refurbishment project for rental income or resale, and buyers wanting to create a personalised home in a period terrace. The surrounding area is very deprived and largely comprises young, ethnically diverse communities; consider local market conditions and potential tenant demand when assessing returns.
