This two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace offers a compact, practical home in Oldham with straightforward commuter access to Manchester. The property’s long lease (over 800 years) and modest footprint (approx. 749 sq ft) make it suitable for first-time buyers seeking an affordable entry or investors targeting rental demand in a well-connected area.
Internally the layout is traditional: entrance hall, living room, kitchen, two bedrooms and a family bathroom. The house benefits from mains gas central heating and double glazing already fitted, and an enclosed rear yard provides private outdoor space. Local transport links, nearby amenities and several well-rated schools add to its everyday convenience.
Buyers should note a few practical maintenance issues: the cavity walls are assumed to be uninsulated, and the double glazing dates from before 2002, so further energy-efficiency upgrades are likely to be needed. The property sits in an area classed as very deprived with a “hampered neighbourhoods” local classification, which may influence long-term value and financing options.
Overall this is a pragmatic, affordable opportunity with clear potential for improvement. It will suit buyers prioritising location and budget over turnkey condition — and investors looking for a straightforward let in a major conurbation with low local crime and strong transport links.
