This two-bedroom mid-terraced townhouse is offered chain-free and suits a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking a modest, well-located home. The house has practical features such as gas central heating, double glazing and a gated, low-maintenance paved rear garden. The layout is straightforward: a spacious front-to-rear lounge, adjoining dining kitchen, ground-floor WC and two first-floor bedrooms with fitted storage.
The property is mid-20th century, solidly built with cavity walls and an efficient boiler-and-radiator heating system. Interiors are functional but dated — carpets are fitted throughout including the kitchen and shower room, and cosmetic updating would significantly improve comfort and value. The compact plot and paved garden make upkeep easy but limit outdoor landscaping possibilities.
Location is convenient for local shops, regular bus links to Manchester city centre and quick access to the M60. Practical amenities nearby include schools (several with good ratings), retail and leisure facilities. Buyers should note the wider area scores high on deprivation metrics and local classification indicates hampered neighbourhoods; however crime levels are described as very low.
Overall this home represents an affordable, low-risk purchase with immediate occupancy potential thanks to no onward chain. It will appeal to first-time buyers wanting a straightforward starter home or investors looking for a rentable property, but expect to budget for cosmetic refurbishment.
