Three-bed end terrace — low-maintenance garden, auction sale; ideal first-time buyer or investor.
Three bedrooms with primary en-suite and two reception rooms
This three-bedroom end-of-terrace on Mellor Grove offers a practical first home or buy-to-let in an established Bolton street. The house includes two reception rooms, a ground-floor wet room and a primary bedroom with en-suite — useful for family life or rental flexibility. A log burner in the lounge and a low-maintenance rear garden add immediate comfort and easy upkeep.
The property is leasehold (long lease remaining) and will be sold at auction with a starting bid. Buyers should be aware there is a non-refundable reservation fee and additional buyer costs associated with the auction process; allow time for ID, AML checks and conveyancing. The fabric is traditional interwar construction with double glazing and cavity walls (insulation not confirmed), and the EPC is rated D.
Practical pros: good local schools within walking distance, very low local crime, fast broadband and strong mobile signal, plus quick access to the A666 for Manchester commutes. Material considerations: the wider area is classified as very deprived which may affect resale or rental yields, and some elements (wall insulation, overall modernisation) may need investment to improve comfort and running costs.
This house suits first-time buyers seeking value and manageable running costs, or investors targeting a straightforward rental layout. Factor in auction timelines, reservation fees and a likely need for modest upgrades when deciding whether to view or bid.
