Freehold mid-terrace Victorian with period red-brick facade

Small plot and narrow frontage typical of inner-suburban terraces

This well-proportioned two-double-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace offers a practical, low-cost freehold in Fallowfield — a short drive from Manchester city centre with good transport links. The house has a comfortable lounge/diner, fitted kitchen and an enclosed rear courtyard with decked seating, making it straightforward to move into or let out. Council tax is very cheap and broadband and mobile signals are strong.
The property retains period character externally with red-brick detailing and a bay window, while interiors are presented in modern, lived-in condition. Main heating is gas-fired boiler with radiators and windows are double glazed (installation date unknown). The layout suits first-time buyers, small families or buy-to-let investors seeking straightforward accommodation with low immediate overheads.
Notable issues are factual and should be considered: the building is solid-brick with no known wall insulation (typical of its era), the plot is small with a courtyard rather than a larger garden, and there is a single family bathroom. The wider local area is classified as “very deprived” with a high proportion of private renting and recent arrivals, which may affect long-term resale or tenant mix. Buyers wanting higher energy efficiency or more outside space should budget for insulation or further works.
Overall this mid-terrace represents a pragmatic, well-located choice for someone prioritising proximity to Manchester, low council tax and straightforward accommodation, while being realistic about modest outdoor space and potential retrofit work for insulation or energy improvements.
