This Victorian mid-terraced house on Whiteacre Road offers an affordable entry into Ashton-under-Lyne within easy walking distance of the town centre and train/Metrolink links. The property has period brickwork, two bedrooms and a good-sized kitchen, with a useful loft space accessed from the landing. Gas central heating and uPVC double glazing provide basic comfort and security.
The home is offered freehold at a competitive price and will suit first-time buyers seeking an inexpensive starter home or investors targeting central Ashton. The layout is compact with small-to-medium rooms and a very small enclosed rear yard; the plot size is limited but low maintenance. Nearby amenities include schools, parks, healthcare and regular public transport.
Buyers should note the Energy Performance Certificate rating is F and the cavity walls are assumed to have no insulation, so energy upgrades would improve comfort and running costs. Council tax and ground rent are very low, but the area is classified as very deprived which may influence resale dynamics. A personal inspection is recommended to assess renovation needs and potential to add value.
