A compact two-bedroom first-floor flat above market-front premises on Market Street, Shaw. Its central location places shops, eateries and the Shaw tram stop within easy walking distance, making it straightforward to let to commuters or local renters.
The flat has practical basics in place: mains gas central heating, UPVC double glazing and an EPC rating of C. A front and rear entrance adds flexibility for occupants and for access when rented. The long lease (960 years) and very low council tax are practical ownership advantages.
This property requires updating throughout and presents a clear refurbishment opportunity for an investor or buyer comfortable with improvement work. There is no garden and the building dates from before 1900 with assumed uninsulated stone walls, so expect retrofit or insulation costs if improving thermal performance. The flat sits in a very deprived area, which can mean strong rental demand but may limit capital growth compared with more affluent suburbs.
Overall, this is a value-led, small-footprint flat priced for buyers who want a town-centre rental or a renovation project with straightforward access to public transport and local amenities.
