Set directly opposite Crowcroft Park, 8 East Road is a large Victorian terraced house offering clear renovation potential and generous living space across multiple floors. The property has three good-sized bedrooms, a bay-fronted living room, separate dining room, kitchen with scope for reconfiguration, and a cellar that could provide additional usable space. With 1,351 sq ft overall, it’s roomy for a family or adaptable for an investor conversion.
This home is sold chain-free on a long lease (883 years remaining), making purchase straightforward for a buyer ready to start works. The house requires a complete renovation throughout: there is currently no gas central heating and finishes are dated. Buyers should budget for a full modernisation, including heating, kitchen and bathroom refit, and potential rewiring or other maintenance uncovered during works.
Location is a strong practical draw. The house sits in a popular residential pocket of Longsight, close to reliable transport links into Manchester city centre, local shops and leisure facilities, and several well-rated primary and secondary schools. Broadband and mobile connections are excellent, crime levels are very low and the property is not at flood risk.
This is a straightforward project for a hands-on family wanting to create a bespoke home, or for an investor seeking a brick-built period property with scope to add value by modernisation. Be aware the immediate area is identified as very deprived, so factors such as rental yields and resale timing should be considered in exit plans.
