This compact end-terrace offers an affordable entry into homeownership on a quiet cul-de-sac in Shard End. The property is freehold, double-glazed throughout and benefits from an allocated off-street parking space and a modest enclosed rear garden — practical features for first-time buyers who need outdoor space and parking without communal fees.
Inside are a lounge, a fitted kitchen/dining room, two bedrooms and a family bathroom. The layout is straightforward and easy to maintain; the house is small (approximately 603 sq ft) so running and cleaning are simple. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, which suits working-from-home arrangements or staying connected with family and friends.
There are some material considerations to note: heating is via electric storage heaters which can be more expensive than gas central heating, and the area records higher-than-average crime rates and significant local deprivation. These factors may affect insurance costs and should be weighed when budgeting. The property is dated in places and presents scope for cosmetic improvement or light refurbishment to add value.
For buyers seeking a low-entry-cost home close to local amenities and a selection of Good-rated primary and secondary schools, this house offers clear potential. Investors may also consider the size and condition for a straightforward let after modest updating. Prospective purchasers should confirm tenure and all local information with their legal and financial advisers.
