Summary - 14, Philips Avenue, Farnworth BL4 9BJ
3 bed 1 bath Detached
Three bedrooms, long lease and quick M60 access ideal for first-time buyers.
No onward chain, ready-to-move-in condition
This no-onward-chain, three-bedroom detached house is a tidy, recently redecorated home ready to move into. The lounge and kitchen/diner provide a straightforward layout for everyday living, while the good-sized rear garden and flagged patio offer useful outdoor space for family life or low-maintenance entertaining. Broadband is fast and mobile signal excellent, helping with home working and connectivity.
Practical running costs are attractive — very low council tax, mains gas central heating, and a long lease (approx. 940 years) with a small ground rent of £11. The property has double glazing and has been recarpeted and repainted throughout, so upfront decorating and flooring costs will be minimal.
Buyers should note the home is modest in overall size (approx. 808 sq ft) and has a single family bathroom. The building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and walls are assumed to be uninsulated cavity construction, which may mean future energy-efficiency improvements are possible. The wider local area is classified as highly deprived, and nearby streets are mixed blue-collar terraces — factors to consider regarding long-term investment and resale prospects.
Location is a key positive: a short drive to the M60, close to local shops, supermarkets and several well-rated primary and secondary schools. This property suits a first-time buyer or someone downsizing who values move-in readiness, low immediate costs and strong commuter links, while accepting modest internal space and potential energy-efficiency upgrades.
