This deceptively spacious two-bedroom terraced house sits close to Shaw town centre and is offered with no onward chain, making it suitable for a swift move or investment purchase. The layout spans three floors plus a large cellar and a boarded loft with lights, power and a skylight — flexible spaces for storage or conversion subject to approvals.
Ground floor features include a medium living room and a good-sized kitchen-diner with cellar access. Two double bedrooms occupy the first floor; an extended loft area provides additional usable space. Externally there is a small forecourt to the front and a paved yard to the rear.
The property retains period character in a Victorian stone-fronted terrace but does require updating and cosmetic renewal throughout. Practical positives include a 999-year lease from 1895, nominal ground rent (£3pa), very low council tax band A, fast broadband and very low local crime. EPC currently TBC.
This home will appeal to first-time buyers seeking affordable entry near local schools and amenities, and to investors open to a refurbishment let. Key drawbacks are the need for updating, potential costs to develop the loft for living use, and the property’s location within a generally deprived area — factor renovation and yield accordingly.
