A compact Victorian mid-terrace offered freehold, this two-bedroom house sits close to local shops, schools and public transport in Milnrow. The property has double glazing fitted after 2002, mains gas central heating and a straightforward layout across approximately 640 sqft — a practical starter home for buyers on a budget. Council tax is very cheap, helping running costs.
The house shows period stone facade and contemporary internal styling in parts, with a usable living room, fitted kitchen, two bedrooms and a family bathroom. Nearby primary and secondary schools are mostly rated Good, and local amenities are within easy walking distance — useful for first-time buyers and those seeking a low-commitment local base.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the wider area is classified as deprived and the local neighbourhood comprises blue-collar terraces, which may affect long-term capital growth. The property is an older build (pre-1900) with assumed uninsulated stone walls, so expect ongoing maintenance and possible retrofit costs. Flood risk is medium — obtain specialist insurance and local flood advice. Also, the plot size information is inconsistent; while the marketing text mentions a large lawned garden, supplied data lists the plot as very small, so garden extent should be verified in person.
