Summary - 38, KENSINGTON ROAD OL8 4BZ
4 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Spacious period home with strong renovation potential near transport links.
Four bedrooms over three floors plus basement cellar
A substantial four-bedroom Victorian semi-detached house arranged over three floors plus a basement, offering three reception rooms, front and rear gardens and an outbuilding. The property’s period features — bay window, stained glass and red brick façade — give strong character and curb appeal, while the generous room count and eaves storage provide flexible family living or rental layouts.
The home requires full updating and modernisation: interiors and fixtures are dated, the EPC is F, and services should be checked before purchase. There is one main bathroom plus a separate WC; a small additional room off a bedroom could become a dressing room, study or en-suite with work. The long lease (875 years remaining as stated) and nominal ground rent are positive tenure points, but the lot is being sold at auction so buyers must be prepared to exchange under auction conditions and pay associated fees immediately.
Positioned about a mile from Oldham town centre and close to the M60 (J22), the location suits commuters and families needing local schools and amenities. Broadband and mobile signal are good. Buyers should note the property sits in a very deprived area classification and will likely need investment to realise modern family-home or lettings value.
This lot will appeal to buyers seeking a renovation project with period charm and scope to add value, as well as investors wanting a larger HMO or multi-let conversion subject to permissions. Ensure you review the legal pack for auction fees, finance availability, and any additional disbursements prior to bidding.
