This compact two-bedroom semi-detached house offers an affordable entry into Worsley Mesnes with practical, ready-to-live-in space and no upward chain. The home is warmed by a gas boiler with radiators, fitted with UPVC double glazing and presented in a modern, tasteful décor that will suit buyers seeking a straightforward starter home or a buy-to-let opportunity.
Internally the layout is simple and efficient: entrance hall, lounge/diner, fitted kitchen with side store/outhouse, and two double bedrooms serviced by a modern three-piece bathroom. Externally there’s a driveway for off-street parking and a generous rear garden; the plot size and single-storey side stores also offer scope for modest extensions or garage conversion subject to consents.
The property is located close to local schools (several rated Good), amenities and commuter links including the M6 corridor, making it practical for working buyers. Be aware the house is small overall (around 529 sq ft) and sits in an area classified as economically deprived with a high proportion of rented terraces — a factor that may influence long-term value and rental demand.
This home suits a first-time buyer wanting a low-entry freehold purchase or an investor seeking a manageable buy-to-let with immediate occupation possible. Early internal viewing is recommended to assess the size and potential, and to consider any targeted updates to increase space or rental yield.
