This spacious two-double-bedroom mid-terrace offers a rare blank canvas in a popular, village-feel area of Prestwich. A double-storey rear extension already adds valuable living space, and the long, private rear garden is not overlooked — ideal for children, pets or a substantial outdoor project. The property has been in the same family for 52 years and is offered freehold and chain-free for a straightforward purchase.
The house requires updating throughout, presenting a strong opportunity to remodel to your tastes and increase value. All windows are UPVC double glazed, but the heating is provided by a back boiler and the solid brick construction likely has no cavity insulation, so thermal improvements will be needed to improve comfort and running costs. The current EPC rating is D.
Practical benefits include a two-car driveway, off-street parking and a generous overall footprint of about 904 sq ft. Local amenities and several well-rated primary and secondary schools are nearby, while the immediate neighbourhood retains a village atmosphere despite being in a wider multi-ethnic suburbia. Note the wider area is recorded as very deprived, which can affect local services and future resale dynamics.
This house will suit a growing family or a buyer looking for a renovation project with clear scope to add value — refurbish the heating, improve insulation, modernise the interior and landscape the large garden to create an attractive family home.
