Compact, characterful two-bedroom home near countryside with no onward chain.
Chain free freehold Victorian end-terrace with stone façade
Tucked away on a quiet lane beside open fields and a babbling stream, this stone-fronted Victorian end-terrace is a compact, chain-free starter home with genuine character. The living room centres on a modern log-burning stove beneath a dated fireplace; double glazing and a modern tiled bathroom provide useful updates while the house retains period charm. Outside, a private rear lawn garden offers a peaceful outdoor space uncommon for a property of this size.
At about 469 sq ft with three main rooms, the layout suits a first-time buyer or couple seeking an affordable foothold near countryside yet within easy reach of the M66 and Manchester. The larger front bedroom includes a walk-in wardrobe; the second room makes a practical home office. The fitted kitchen opens directly onto the garden, and useful under-stair storage and a wall-mounted boiler are practical touches.
Buyers should note the compact footprint and relatively low ceilings typical of older terraces — living space is limited and the plot is small. The local area scores as deprived, which may affect future resale expectations, and some interior elements remain dated and will benefit from cosmetic updating. EPC C is reasonable for the age, and mains gas central heating with a modern boiler keeps running costs down.
Overall this freehold, no-chain home is a pragmatic, characterful option for a buyer wanting countryside access, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal close to transport links. It’s ready to move into with scope to personalise and improve over time.
