Vacant two-bed first-floor apartment near station — ideal commuter investment.
First-floor two-bedroom apartment, approx 652 sq ft
A first-floor two-bedroom apartment in the popular Gale Close block, offered with vacant possession and no onward chain. At about 652 sq ft the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner and two bedrooms create straightforward rental or owner-occupier accommodation in Littleborough’s suburban pocket.
Location is a principal selling point: a short walk to Littleborough train station, easy access to the M62, low local crime and good primary schools nearby. The modern brick complex sits in well-kept grounds and includes an off-street parking space, making it practical for commuters.
Practical considerations are clear and factual. Heating is electric throughout, which may affect running costs and tenant appeal compared with gas-heated properties. Broadband speeds in the area are slow — a potential drawback for home-workers or tech-reliant tenants. The property is leasehold, so buyers should allow for any service charges or lease terms when assessing yield or mortgage eligibility.
For investors the combination of location, vacant possession and compact, easy-to-manage space presents a straightforward rental opportunity. For owner-occupiers or first-time buyers seeking a low-maintenance starter home in a commuter-friendly town, this apartment offers convenience and immediate availability, provided the electric heating and slower broadband are acceptable.
