Chain-free two-bedroom terrace with courtyard, close to schools and transport.
Freehold, chain-free sale with Council Tax Band A
This mid-terrace Victorian house on Shaftesbury Road is a compact, well-presented home suited to first-time buyers, downsizers or investors. The property offers two bright reception rooms, a modern fitted kitchen with integrated oven and hob, and two well-proportioned bedrooms served by a contemporary three-piece bathroom. The layout is straightforward and practical, with good natural light and period features such as a front fireplace.
Outside, a low-maintenance enclosed courtyard provides private outdoor space without extensive upkeep. Practical day-to-day factors include very affordable Council Tax (Band A), excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for commuters and home workers. Swinton town centre amenities, strong primary and secondary schools nearby and good commuter links (Swinton station, A580, M60) add clear lifestyle and resale appeal.
Notable negatives are the property’s small overall size (approx. 570 sq ft) and small plot, which limit extension potential. The building dates from c.1900–1929 and the cavity walls are recorded as having no insulation (assumed), so buyers should budget for energy improvements if desired. The local area has higher levels of deprivation, which may affect long-term value in some micro-markets. Sold freehold and chain-free, it is move-in ready yet offers straightforward scope for cosmetic upgrades or an investor refurbishment.
In short: a characterful, low-maintenance terrace in a convenient location, presenting a budget-friendly entry to homeownership or a practical rental opportunity, provided buyers accept limited internal space and potential insulation work.
