Affordable two-bed town-centre terrace with long lease and low running costs.
Mid-terrace Victorian stone facade in Shaw town centre
This two-bedroom mid-terrace sits in the heart of Shaw town centre, a short walk from local shops and the Metrolink. The property retains Victorian character on a stone facade and offers straightforward accommodation: a spacious lounge, kitchen/diner with adjoining utility room, two first-floor bedrooms and a family bathroom. Broadband is fast and mobile signal is excellent.
Practical benefits include a long lease (about 887 years remaining), nominal ground rent (£1 pa) and very low council tax (Band A). The home is marketed with an EPC rating of D and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators.
Buyers should note the location is in a broadly deprived area of terraced streets and the property’s cavity walls appear uninsulated, so energy efficiency upgrades could be worthwhile. Interiors are generally small-to-medium rooms and some updating may be needed to improve the EPC and modern living standards.
This house will suit first-time buyers seeking an affordable home with good transport links, or investors looking for a straightforward rental in a town-centre location. The long lease and low holding costs simplify ownership, but budget for insulation and possible refurbishment when calculating returns.
