A substantial three-bedroom end-terrace built c.1900–1929, this freehold home combines period character with practical family space. Two reception rooms, a large kitchen-diner and a tanked basement provide six main rooms across generous 1,603 sq ft, plus a decent rear garden and off-street parking — useful in this central Ashton location. Double glazing and gas central heating are already in place.
The layout suits family life: three double bedrooms upstairs, a family bathroom and a separate shower room give flexibility for children, guests or home working. The property is chain free, so it can move quickly for buyers wanting to occupy or let without delay. Nearby amenities include primary and secondary schools, tram and bus links to Ashton town centre, and local shopping and leisure facilities.
There are clear renovation opportunities here. Some rooms show dated fixtures and a bay-room with potential mould issues; the house will benefit from modernisation to update finishes and systems to contemporary standards. The surrounding area is classified as very deprived, which affects long-term capital-growth prospects despite very low recorded crime and excellent local transport and broadband.
Overall this is a roomy, characterful family home with real scope to add value for buyers prepared to refurbish. It will suit families seeking space and convenience in Ashton, or investors targeting rental income after refurbishment — just factor in upgrade costs and the broader area profile when assessing long-term returns.
