Three bedrooms plus improved loft space usable for storage or extra room
Long lease (approx. 872 years remaining); nominal ground rent £1.10/year
Around 780 sq ft; overall property size described as small
Single bathroom; layout suited to first-time buyers or investors

Rear low-maintenance patio garden; no flood risk

A compact three-bedroom mid-terrace with improved loft space and a low-maintenance rear patio, suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The house offers practical living over multiple levels with an open-plan kitchen/diner on the ground floor and a separate lounge that benefits from good natural light.
Constructed in the early 20th century, the property keeps traditional Victorian character externally while having some modern touches inside, including double glazing and a mains gas boiler with radiators. The long lease (over 800 years remaining) and nominal ground rent remove common tenure worries. Council Tax is very low and the EPC is a reasonable C, so running costs should be manageable.
Notable limitations are the overall small size (around 780 sq ft), a single bathroom, and walls that are likely solid brick with no known cavity insulation — upgrading thermal insulation could be beneficial. The area is classified as very deprived, which may affect resale timing and rental yields; however, the location offers quick access to Oldham town centre, the Royal Oldham Hospital, and motorways (M60/M62), plus nearby schools and local amenities.
This is a straightforward, affordable entry property with potential for modest improvement (insulation, cosmetic updating) to increase comfort and value. Buyers should view to assess room proportions and consider any energy-efficiency upgrades they may want to undertake.
