This compact two-bedroom mid-terrace on Thornton Road offers a practical starter home in Fallowfield, a short drive from Manchester city centre and close to local shops, cafés and bus routes. The house benefits from period character—high ceilings, original brick façade and a through lounge with a log-burning stove—packaged in a manageable, low-maintenance footprint.
Internally the layout works for first-time buyers or couples: through lounge/dining room, fitted kitchen and two double bedrooms with a modern three-piece bathroom. Gas central heating, double glazing (install date unknown) and fast broadband/mobile signal mean the property is ready for everyday living while requiring only modest cosmetic updating in places.
Outside there is no rear lawn but an enclosed pea-pebble courtyard and small front garden; both are low maintenance but limit outdoor entertaining or child play space. The house was built c.1900–1929 with cavity walls that are assumed uninsulated — adding wall insulation could improve comfort and reduce bills. There is no flooding risk and crime levels are very low.
For buyers looking to add value, simple energy upgrades, kitchen modernisation or reconfiguring storage will increase appeal and rental potential in this popular student and young-family area. Freehold tenure and a compact 518 sq ft layout make this an accessible purchase with clear scope for improvement.
