This two-bedroom Victorian cottage offers a straightforward, characterful entry into homeownership. Well-proportioned rooms, two reception spaces and a generous front and rear garden give flexible living and outdoor space for first-time buyers wanting scope to personalise.
Practical benefits include a detached garage with off-road parking, gas central heating with a boiler replaced within the last five years, and a very long lease (circa 956 years) with a nominal £5 ground rent. Local amenities are strong: good primary and secondary schools, nearby gastro pubs and easy access to Bury and Rochdale towns.
The house does need some updating. The kitchen and fixtures are dated and the property would benefit from modernising to improve comfort and energy efficiency. Broadband speeds in the area are very slow, which may affect home working options. There is a single shower room upstairs and the property’s terrace setting means room sizes are modest compared with modern new-builds.
Overall this cottage is best suited to a first-time buyer or couple seeking a long-lease, affordable home with garden space and renovation potential. With clear scope to add value through sympathetic updating, it presents a realistic chance to create a comfortable, characterful home in a well-connected location.
