A compact two-bedroom stone terrace in Walsden, offered chain-free and set within easy walking distance of Walsden train station. The property retains period character and double glazing, and its low asking price makes it accessible to buyers seeking a modest starter home or a renovation project with short-term rental potential.
The house is small (approx. 535 sq ft) and was built before 1900, with traditional sandstone/limestone walls that are assumed uninsulated. Accommodation requires modernisation throughout: living spaces and finishes are dated, floors and joinery show wear, and the overall home would benefit from systematic updating to kitchens, bathroom and decorative finishes.
Buyers should note material considerations: the property is in a high flood-risk area and sits on a small plot with no rear garden, limiting outdoor space. Heating details are inconsistent in the supplied information (marketing text references gas central heating, while records list electric storage heaters); prospective purchasers should verify the current heating system. Council tax is very cheap and local amenities, good primary schools and excellent mobile signal add practical benefits.
This is a straightforward purchase for someone prepared to renovate or for an investor targeting a low-entry price in a popular commuter location. The home’s period charm and convenient transport links are the main attractions, but flood risk and the need for modernisation are significant factors to budget for.
