Chain-free Victorian terrace with two receptions and private yard — ideal for first-time buyers.
Freehold Victorian terraced house, approx 798 sq ft
Set on South Street in M12, this freehold Victorian terraced house offers roomy living across two reception rooms and two larger-than-average bedrooms. At around 798 sq ft with a large plot and private rear yard, the layout suits a growing household or a buy-to-let investor seeking straightforward rental appeal. The property is chain-free and benefits from double glazing, gas heating and very low local crime rates.
The house shows period character but requires updating: internal photos note dated finishes, wear and tear, and at least one smaller room suited to a study or child’s bedroom. The single family bathroom serves both bedrooms, so buyers who need en-suite facilities should factor potential reconfiguration into plans. Overall accommodation is average in size but offers practical living and renovation potential to increase value.
Location strengths include excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, good local schools within walking distance, and convenient transport links into Manchester city centre. The immediate area is classified as very deprived, which affects long-term rental yields and resale comparables — worth considering for owner-occupiers and investors alike.
This property is best for first-time buyers or investors willing to carry modest refurbishment work to modernise kitchens, bathrooms and decorative finishes. With a reasonable asking price and a private yard, it offers a clear opportunity to create a comfortable home or improve rental income after refurbishment.
