Summary - 516 HALLIWELL ROAD BOLTON BL1 8BP
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Affordable starter with recent roof, windows and young boiler.
Chain free short completion possible
This mid-terrace Victorian cottage is a practical, chain-free starter with immediate protections in place: a new roof, new windows and a one-year-old boiler reduce short-term maintenance costs. The layout offers a through lounge, separate kitchen-diner and two bedrooms, including a generous master, across two floors — a straightforward plan for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors.
The property needs updating throughout: internal decor is dated, some rooms are small with standard-to-low ceiling heights, and the stone walls are likely uninsulated. The rear garden is small and will require tidying to become usable. There is a historic right of way at the rear, typical for period terraces, so external privacy is limited.
Situated in a densely populated area with good local amenities, strong mobile and fast broadband, the house benefits from nearby primary and secondary schools and frequent public transport links. The local area is classified as very deprived, which affects long-term capital growth prospects, but the low purchase price and rental demand from constrained renters create clear income potential for landlords.
Overall, the home suits a buyer seeking an affordable entry into homeownership or an investor looking for a lower-cost rental with scope to add value through cosmetic refurbishment and targeted improvements such as insulation and redecoration. Major structural items appear addressed externally, but internal renovation and insulation work should be budgeted for before moving in.
