Step into a compact Victorian mid-terrace on Dorset Street, suited to first-time buyers seeking town-centre convenience. The house offers two bedrooms plus a versatile converted loft room, a contemporary-style living room and a dining kitchen. High ceilings and period features give character; double glazing is fitted, though install date is unknown.
Practical running costs are supported by mains gas supply; heating is via wall-mounted gas heaters and room heaters rather than a full central system. The property is leasehold with a very low reported ground rent (circa £2 pa). EPC is shown as E and the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so buyers should allow for potential energy-efficiency improvements.
Outside, a small gated forecourt and off-street parking add real convenience for town living. Bolton town centre amenities, schools and public transport are within easy reach. The neighbourhood is an urban cultural mix with a higher level of social renting and very deprived area indicators — purchasers should weigh local socioeconomic factors when considering long-term value.
Overall this is a tidy, characterful starter home with clear scope to improve energy performance and heating. It will suit buyers looking for an affordable, centrally located property where modest updating could add comfort and future resale appeal.
