Summary - 1, Fenton Street, Shaw, OLDHAM OL2 8SX
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Affordable two-bedroom terrace near Shaw centre — great first-time buy or buy-to-let opportunity.
Two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace with enclosed rear yard
A solid entry-level Victorian terrace in Shaw, this two-bedroom stone house suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking straightforward value. The property offers a generous front lounge, a good-size kitchen/dining room and an enclosed rear yard — practical living on a compact footprint.
Practical benefits include a long lease (around 845–900 years remaining), nominal ground rent (£3), EPC C rating, mains gas central heating and double glazing fitted after 2002. The Metro tram stop is a five-minute walk, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal making the home well-connected for commuting and working from home.
Honest drawbacks: the kitchen is dated (1980s style) and will need modernisation; walls are original sandstone/limestone likely without insulation; parking is on-street only; and the property sits in a very deprived area, which may affect long-term capital growth. Room sizes are average for a mid-terrace and the layout is traditional and compact.
For a buyer who wants a move-in-ready shell with scope to add value through sensible cosmetic and energy-efficiency improvements, this home represents an affordable foothold in OL2. Its low council tax band and long lease are practical positives to balance the investment needed on internal modernisation.
