This traditional late-Victorian semi-detached house on Moor Road offers a straightforward, spacious starter home in the heart of Orrell. With two good-sized bedrooms, a separate dining room and an average-sized footprint (about 860 sq ft), the layout suits first-time buyers or small families seeking character and practical living space. The property benefits from mains gas central heating, UPVC double glazing and a pretty rear garden for outdoor space and entertaining.
Location is a strong selling point: local independent shops, eateries and regular buses, plus a village station with direct links to Manchester, make commuting and everyday life easy. Several well-regarded primary and secondary schools sit nearby, supporting family life. The property is offered with no onward chain and includes a long lease (approximately 888 years), which simplifies purchase logistics.
Buyers should note a few practical considerations. The property is leasehold (details should be checked) and the owner currently rents a garage from the council, so parking may be off-site. The EPC rating is D and the construction (1930s–1940s cavity walls) suggests opportunities for energy-efficiency improvements. There is a single first-floor bathroom and some rooms retain traditional finishes that may require modernisation to suit contemporary tastes.
Overall, this semi delivers character, good local amenities and a private garden at an accessible price point. It will suit buyers wanting a move-in-able home with potential to personalise and improve energy performance over time.
