This traditional semi-detached house offers genuine first-time buyer potential on a substantial plot close to Ashton town centre. The property is freehold and chain free, with a roomy living area, kitchen/dining space and three upstairs bedrooms. Excellent local transport links — including Ashton train station, Metrolink and nearby M60 access — make commuting straightforward.
The house requires renovation throughout and will suit someone prepared to modernise kitchens, bathrooms and internal décor. EPC is to be confirmed; buyers should allow for updating and energy-efficiency improvements. There is a single modern shower room but only one bathroom for three bedrooms.
Outside, the plot is a standout feature: generous front and rear gardens provide scope for extension, landscaping or outbuildings (subject to planning). The rear garden is described as well maintained and offers private outdoor space uncommon for small urban properties.
Be candid about the neighbourhood: the immediate area scores high for deprivation and is described as a hampered, multi-ethnic locality. Nearby schools include several rated Good and one Outstanding secondary, and local amenities such as shops, leisure and regular bus services are within walking distance. This is a value-led opportunity for buyers seeking space and potential rather than a turn-key move.
