This two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace offers a practical, chain-free entry to Royton, with long leasehold security and pleasant rear views over Dogford Park. The property’s traditional features—high skirting, cornicing and original fireplaces—give period character while the kitchen/diner provides ready-used family space. A short five-minute walk takes you to Royton town centre and local amenities.
The house is sensible for first-time buyers or couples seeking a well-located starter home. Accommodation includes an entrance vestibule, a lounge, a good-size kitchen/dining room and two first-floor bedrooms. The rear yard has scope to be converted into a single car driveway or a private seating area to make the most of the park outlook.
Buyers should note practical issues plainly: the property is leasehold, EPC rated D, and walls are assumed to lack cavity insulation which may affect heating costs. Main heating is via mains gas and room heaters; a buyer may wish to upgrade central heating or insulation to improve efficiency. Council tax banding is low, and local crime risk is very low.
Overall this mid-terrace is a characterful, low-risk purchase in a comfortable suburbia setting. It suits purchasers who value location, outdoor views and straightforward renovation potential rather than a fully modernised finish.
