This two-bedroom mid-terraced house on Whalley Road offers a genuinely affordable entry into the area with a very long 999-year lease and 892 sq ft of living space. The ground floor features two reception rooms and a modern kitchen with space for appliances, while upstairs provides two bedrooms and a family bathroom. The lounge's electric fireplace is a warm focal point for relaxed evenings.
Practical running costs are favourable: gas central heating, double glazing, Council Tax Band A and a nominal ground rent. The rear yard is low-maintenance and fitted with external sockets and security lighting. Good M65 access and nearby shops, restaurants and bus links make commuting straightforward.
Buyers should note material local factors: the property sits in a generally deprived area with above-average crime statistics and mixed school performance nearby. The EPC is D and the stone-built walls are assumed to lack modern cavity insulation, which may mean higher heating demand or future insulation work. Parking is on-street only.
Overall this home suits a first-time buyer or small household seeking space, long lease security and low council costs, while accepting some neighbourhood drawbacks and potential improvement needs.
