Tucked on Hope Street, this two-bedroom Victorian cottage-style home brings character and town-centre convenience within easy reach. The open-plan lounge and dining room create a sociable ground-floor living space, while two generous double bedrooms upstairs offer comfortable sleeping quarters for a first home. Off-road parking for two cars and a private, well-screened rear garden with patio and store add practical benefits rarely found so close to Lord Street.
The property is well-suited to first-time buyers or city commuters who prioritise location and period charm over generous plot size. Double glazing (post-2002) and a gas boiler with radiators provide modern comfort, and the house is freehold with very low council tax (Band A). Frequent rail services to Liverpool and Manchester make this a convenient base for work or weekend trips.
Buyers should note a few material points: the plot is small and the surrounding area registers higher crime levels and local deprivation, which may affect long-term resale values. The cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so additional insulation work could improve comfort and running costs. Overall accommodation is modest (around 776 sq ft), so this property suits those seeking a compact, characterful home rather than a large family house.
A practical proposition for buyers seeking a central location and period features with sensible running costs. The home offers scope for modest upgrading—insulation and cosmetic modernisation—to personalise the space and enhance energy efficiency.
