Summary - 14, Taurus Street, OLDHAM OL4 2BN
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Compact period home with clear rental and refurbishment potential.
No vendor chain; offered at auction for quick completion potential
Set on a quiet cul-de-sac in Oldham, this two-bedroom mid-terrace offers a straightforward investment with immediate upside. The property is chain-free and will be sold at auction, making it suitable for buyers who can complete within the fixed reservation period. A valid EICR, Gas Safety Certificate and license are in place; EPC rated D.
The house dates from the early 20th century and retains a Victorian brick frontage and compact rooms across approximately 666 sq ft. Accommodation comprises entrance vestibule, lounge, dining kitchen, two first-floor bedrooms and a bathroom, plus an enclosed rear courtyard. Double glazing and mains gas boiler with radiators are present; broadband and mobile signal are strong.
The property requires renovation and cosmetic updating throughout—there is evidence of dated fittings and potential damp in the living room area—so costs for refurbishment should be factored in. The asking price and auction sale route reflect this scope for improvement and likely rental yield, but buyers should allow for the auction reservation fee, buyer pack cost and completion timescale.
Located in an area with high levels of private renting and economic challenges, the wider neighbourhood is classified as very deprived. Nearby amenities, multiple schools (including a highly rated secondary), shops and public transport are all within easy reach, supporting lettability for investors willing to upgrade the property.
