Set on a quiet street in Oldham, this larger-than-average two-bedroom end-terrace offers solid period bones and scope to add value. The layout includes two reception rooms, a kitchen, and an upstairs shower room, with a low-maintenance patio garden and a brick outbuilding to the rear.
The house requires modernisation throughout — cosmetic and likely some updating to fixtures — presenting a clear renovation project for a first-time buyer wanting to personalise or an investor targeting rental uplift. Practical benefits include double glazing (pre-2002), mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, an EPC rating of C, and very low council tax (Band A).
Tenure is leasehold with 91 years remaining and a nominal ground rent of £10 per year; buyers should note remaining lease length when planning financing or longer-term hold. The property is sold chain free, enabling a faster completion for purchasers prepared to start works promptly.
Location strengths include excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, very low local crime, and several nearby primary and secondary schools rated Outstanding/Good. The surrounding area is classified as very deprived, which may affect long-term local demand but also keeps acquisition costs competitive for investors.
