A solid Victorian mid-terrace in Shaw, offered chain-free and freehold, this three-bedroom home combines period brick character with practical living space. The ground floor has two reception rooms and a fitted kitchen, plus a convenient downstairs WC; upstairs offers three bedrooms and a fitted shower room. At around 876 sq ft the house is an average-sized family home with a private rear yard.
The property requires renovation and modernisation, so it will suit buyers happy to invest time and budget to update finishes, services and decor. Its durable Accrington brick façade, original storage cupboard and traditional layout provide a good base for improvement and potential value uplift. Council tax is very low and there is no flood risk.
Positioned close to Shaw town centre with local shops, schools and good public transport links (Metrolink nearby), this house appeals to first-time buyers and investors seeking an affordable entry into Oldham. Crime levels are very low and mobile and broadband connectivity are strong, helping make the home practical for modern everyday living.
Important negatives: the property needs renovation throughout and sits in a generally deprived area — buyers should budget for refurbishment and consider local socio-economic context when planning long-term use. Despite these issues, chain-free sale and freehold tenure make it straightforward to acquire and update.
