This compact mid-terrace two-bedroom house offers an affordable entry point for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The property is structurally typical of 1930s–40s terraces: red brick, double glazing and gas central heating via boiler and radiators. A modest ground-floor reception, kitchen and upstairs two bedrooms with a three-piece bathroom give straightforward, practical accommodation across approximately 673 sq ft.
The long lease (873 years) and nominal ground rent (£2.10/year) remove common leasehold anxieties. EPC current score of 70 (Band C) with potential to 86 (Band B) suggests reasonable energy efficiency. Fast broadband, average mobile signal and good bus and motorway links (near M61) add everyday convenience. Local schools include several rated Good and a top-performing independent option nearby.
The house will be sold at auction with a starting bid of £115,000; buyers should factor in Auction Terms & Conditions and secure-sale procedures. The property presents clear potential to improve value with minor modernisation and cosmetic updates rather than major structural work, but room sizes are modest and the street slope and compact footprint mean outdoor space is limited (small paved yard, no off-street parking).
Note the wider area scores as deprived; while crime is very low and amenities are close, buyers seeking a quiet suburban feel should consider the urban context. This is a practical, low-cost purchase for someone willing to personalise the property or add to a lettings portfolio.
