Two-bed Victorian terrace with renovation potential and low running costs.
Victorian mid-terrace retaining period features
This Victorian mid-terrace on Dargai Street offers an affordable entry into Manchester with genuine renovation potential. Set over two storeys and extending to about 710–711 sq ft, the house retains period character such as a bay window, sash-style windows and brick detailing. The layout includes two bedrooms, a reception room and a modest rear garden — a practical footprint for a first-time buyer or investor.
The property is freehold, benefits from very low council tax, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, and sits in a quiet street with very low recorded crime. Local schools are mostly rated Good and nearby transport and amenities meet everyday needs. The large overall plot and simple rectangular rear yard give scope for modest improvements and landscaping to increase living space and value.
Important considerations: the house needs modernisation throughout — cosmetic and likely mechanical upgrades are required. Room sizes are compact and some dimensions are small for modern expectations; there is no off-street parking. The surrounding ward is classified as very deprived, which may influence resale dynamics and mortgage/product availability for some buyers. Buyers should budget for refurbishment to bring services, finishes and décor up to contemporary standards.
