Set on Platt Lane in Standish, this two-bedroom end-terrace cottage offers generous scope to create a comfortable home in a sought-after village location. The property has pleasant open views to front and rear, a small rear yard, and a flexible ground-floor layout with two/three reception rooms that can be reconfigured to suit modern living. Available with no onward chain and a long lease, it will appeal to buyers wanting quick completion and full control over refurbishment.
The house requires general modernisation throughout: room sizes are modest, fittings are dated, and internal redecoration and updating are needed to bring the property up to contemporary standards. Broadband speeds are slow — important to note for home workers — and the building shows mid-20th century finishes such as ceiling tiles and older carpets, indicating further investment will be required.
Practical benefits include excellent mobile signal, very low local crime, very affordable council tax, and good commuter links via the M6/M61 and local bus routes. Strong local schools nearby and easy access to countryside walks make the property suitable for new families or first-time buyers prepared to improve the house. Investors will find potential for uplift after refurbishment, but should factor renovation costs into purchase calculations.
