Summary - 284 ROUNDTHORN ROAD OLDHAM OL4 5LJ
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Chain-free character home with large rooms and renovation potential, close to countryside..
Chain-free two-bedroom semi-detached home with enclosed rear garden
A straightforward, chain-free two-bedroom semi-detached house on Roundthorn Road, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking space and character. The property offers an unusually large overall internal area (listed as extremely large) and generous room sizes, including a 4.2m living room with exposed beams and a kitchen-diner opening to an enclosed rear garden. Gas central heating and UPVC double glazing provide practical modern comforts.
The house is on a small plot and sits close to local countryside with good nearby schools and transport links. Council tax band A and very low local crime add to the running-cost advantages. There is strong scope to increase value through sympathetic updating and insulation improvements — cavity walls are assumed to be uninsulated and the EPC is rated D.
Buyers should note visible external paint peeling and general maintenance needs; the property was constructed before 1900 and may require further updating, including wall insulation and possible cosmetic renovations. While broadband speeds are fast and there is no flood risk, the surrounding area is classified as very deprived, which may affect longer-term resale prospects.
Overall this home suits a first-time purchaser or investor comfortable carrying modest renovation work to unlock greater comfort and potential uplift. The lack of an onward chain means a quicker move-in or letting process once works are planned.
