This mid-terraced Victorian property on Acomb Street offers a large six-bedroom layout over three floors, presenting a clear investment or multi-occupancy opportunity in a well-connected Manchester neighbourhood. The house is currently vacant and has a modern air-source heat pump installed, which should reduce running costs compared with an older gas boiler. Internally the home has neutral finishes and an open-plan living/kitchen area, allowing quick re-lettings or a straightforward refurbishment to increase rental value.
The accommodation includes an en suite ground-floor room and multiple double bedrooms, providing flexible living for families or sharers. The property’s footprint is compact with a small forecourt and rear yard typical of inner-suburban terraces — useful for low-maintenance outdoor space but limited scope for expansion. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are strong and local amenities, transport links and high rental demand in the area support consistent letting prospects.
There are important practical considerations: the house needs renovation to reach modern standards for some tenants, and the solid brick walls likely lack cavity insulation, so additional insulation works may be required. Crucially, the property is not licensed as an HMO and does not have HMO planning consent, so any intended multi-occupancy use must be checked and authorised before change of use.
Overall this freehold terrace suits buyers seeking a value-conscious investment or a roomy family home prepared for updating. Value drivers include the heat pump, vacant possession, size and location; costs to budget for include renovation, insulation improvements and any planning/licencing required for shared occupancy.
