This three-bedroom semi-detached home on Longfield Road combines 1930s character with a practical modern layout, ideal for growing families. The property has been extended to the rear, creating a more flexible ground floor with separate dining and living rooms that flow to the garden via patio doors. A traditional-style kitchen with a breakfast bar and a stable door provides everyday practicality, while a handy downstairs WC adds convenience.
Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a versatile single that suits a nursery, home office or guest room. The bright family bathroom is contemporary in feel, but there is just one bathroom for three bedrooms, which may be a consideration for larger households. Practical extras include a private driveway, garage and an easily maintained garden for outdoor entertaining.
Buyers should note the property is leasehold and dates from the 1930s. The cavity walls are assumed to have no added insulation, and the double glazing installation date is unknown — both factors that could affect energy efficiency and running costs. The home's mains gas boiler and radiators provide conventional heating. Council tax is described as affordable and the area benefits from very low crime, excellent transport links (including Shaw & Crompton Metrolink), fast broadband and good local schools.
Overall, this is a well-located, characterful family home with useful off-street parking and extra ground-floor space from the extension. It will suit buyers seeking a comfortable family base in a sought-after Shaw neighbourhood, although those prioritising the highest energy efficiency or multiple bathrooms should factor potential upgrades into their plans.
