This chain-free Victorian mid-terrace offers an affordable entry into Hollins, Oldham — ideal for first-time buyers or investors seeking a straightforward project. The house has two bedrooms, a lounge, kitchen/diner and a small enclosed rear yard, spread over about 757 sq ft. A long lease (approximately 822 years remaining) and nominal ground rent make ownership straightforward. EPC C and mains-gas heating provide reasonable running costs.
The property shows signs of being a fixer-upper: some areas require renovation and updating, and the solid-brick walls are assumed uninsulated, so thermal upgrades would improve comfort and efficiency. Interiors combine Victorian features (fireplace, arched windows) with more modern open-plan elements, offering clear potential to reconfigure or modernise to add value.
Location strengths include excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, close proximity to a range of amenities and supermarkets, and several well-regarded schools within walking distance — including Hulme Grammar. Oldham town centre is a short drive away, and public transport links and local services are readily accessible.
Practical costs are low: council tax band A and a £3 per year ground rent. Buyers should note the property lies in a generally deprived area, which can affect long-term resale dynamics; investors should weigh rental demand against local market conditions. Overall, this is a budget-friendly purchase with solid long-lease security and straightforward renovation upside.
