Well-presented two-bedroom Victorian end-terrace in one of Atherton's most sought-after streets, offered with a tidy interior and practical layout. The ground floor sits comfortably around a bright sitting room and a modern fitted kitchen/diner with access to a paved rear yard — a low-maintenance setup suited to busy first-time buyers. Both bedrooms are double-sized and the family bathroom completes the first floor, providing straightforward, move-in-ready accommodation.
Outside space is intentionally low-maintenance: a small forecourt overlooking a community allotment and a paved rear yard that requires minimal upkeep. The house sits close to good primary and secondary schools and local amenities, with excellent mobile and fast broadband – well placed for commuting and everyday convenience. The property footprint (approximately 788 sq ft) is typical for a terraced home and will suit couples, a young family or those starting on the housing ladder.
Important factual points: the property is leasehold with a very long remaining term (circa 900 years) and a nominal ground rent of £2. Council tax is described as very cheap. The surrounding area scores high on local deprivation measures despite low crime levels; buyers should consider wider neighbourhood context and resale appetite. The home appears cosmetically tidy with a modern kitchen, but light updating or personalisation would unlock extra value.
Overall, this property offers a sensible, low-maintenance first home or buy-to-let opportunity in a convenient location. It balances period character and contemporary comforts, with straightforward running costs and scope for modest improvement to increase value.
