A compact Victorian mid-terrace with recent roof renewal and vacant possession — a clear, hands-on buy-to-let or renovation project in central Ashton-under-Lyne. The property offers straightforward layout: entrance vestibule, lounge, rear kitchen, bathroom, two upstairs bedrooms and a private enclosed yard. A partial damp-proof course has been carried out within the last year.
Mechanically the home has functional mains gas heating to radiators and double glazing (unknown fit date). The solid brick walls are typical of the era and likely lack modern insulation, so expect uplift costs if improving energy performance. The house is small (approx. 529 sqft) and will need internal modernisation throughout: cosmetic and systems works are required to achieve comfortable long-term occupancy or higher rents.
For investors, the location and vacant possession are advantages; recent guidance suggests a potential rent around £800 pcm after refurbishment, subject to market and works. Local transport links, nearby schools, shops and Tameside Hospital add tenant demand, while broadband speeds and mobile signal are both reported as good.
Be realistic about the neighbourhood context: the property sits in a very deprived area with a local classification of hampered neighbourhoods and a wider community profile that may influence tenant mix and rental yield. Council tax is low and crime is reported very low locally, but the property’s small size and refurbishment needs mean this is best suited to an investor or buyer prepared for renovation works rather than someone seeking a move-in-ready family home.
