This two-bedroom mid-terraced house on Spindle Hillock offers practical, low-cost living for first-time buyers or investors. The ground floor’s open-plan lounge and dining area creates a bright, flexible living space, complemented by a modern fitted kitchen and an updated three-piece family bathroom with built-in storage. Two well-proportioned first-floor bedrooms suit double beds and built-in furniture. Outside, low-maintenance front and rear gardens lead to a detached garage at the rear, useful for storage or a workshop.
Running costs are favourable: Council Tax band A and mains gas central heating with a modern boiler keep bills down. The property is double glazed (fitted post-2002) and sits in a major-conurbation location with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — practical for commuting or working from home. Local amenities, supermarkets, bus links and two nearby railway stations (Bryn and Garswood) are all within easy reach.
Buyers should note some practical drawbacks. The plot is small and the built form is a traditional terrace constructed c.1900–1929; cavity walls are assumed to have no added insulation, which could affect energy efficiency. Tenure is not specified and should be confirmed. The neighbourhood scores as relatively deprived and crime is average — factors to consider for families and long-term investors. The outside WC and single internal bathroom may be limiting for some households.
Overall this is a spacious, well-presented terrace that offers solid everyday comfort and scope to improve energy performance or adapt the garage. It will suit first-time buyers seeking affordable entry in Ashton-in-Makerfield, small families wanting proximity to schools, or buy-to-let purchasers targeting reliable rental demand.
