Newly renovated period terrace near Healey Dell — ideal affordable first home.
Prominent central location in Whitworth town centre
Set in a prominent central position in Whitworth, this newly renovated two-bedroom terrace combines period character with contemporary fixtures. The stone Edwardian exterior leads into a tastefully decorated interior with a modern fitted kitchen, updated bathroom and gas central heating via a modern combi boiler. Double glazing was installed post-2002, helping with comfort and efficiency.
The layout suits a first-time buyer or small family seeking an affordable starter home close to local amenities. Whitworth offers good primary and secondary schools nearby, easy access to shops, cafés and the Healey Dell nature reserve for outdoor recreation. The property includes access to a shared side garden for occasional outdoor use.
Practical details are favourable: long lease (approx. 830 years), very low ground rent and cheap council tax. The house is of traditional sandstone/limestone construction and, while recently renovated internally, the walls are assumed uninsulated — further thermal improvements could reduce running costs and add value. Note the EPC rating D and that the area records relatively high crime and local deprivation factors, which may concern some buyers.
Overall this is an affordable, characterful terraced home with modern internal finishes and clear potential for energy upgrades. It’s well suited to buyers seeking central village living near green spaces, but buyers should factor in local area issues and potential improvement works to enhance insulation and long-term efficiency.
