Summary - 55 Rowms Lane, Swinton S64 8AA
3 bed 1 bath End of Terrace
Mixed-use shop and three-bed home — income potential with scope for improvements.
Freehold end-of-terrace mixed-use property with shop and three-bedroom flat
A versatile end-of-terrace property combining a ground-floor shop unit with three-bedroom living above. The upper accommodation has been refreshed to a functional standard with a modern bathroom, double glazing and mains gas central heating, making it liveable immediately for an owner-occupier or ready to let to tenants. Fast fibre broadband and excellent mobile signal add practical appeal for home-working or small business use.
The ground-floor commercial area provides clear income or trading potential but shows signs of wear and will need cosmetic refurbishment to maximise value. The building offers further scope: cellar and generous loft space could support storage or conversion, and the layout may accommodate separate flats subject to planning permission. EPC rating E and assumed solid-brick walls (no cavity insulation) should be considered when budgeting energy efficiency improvements.
This property sits in a very deprived, high-crime neighbourhood within a minor conurbation, which will affect resale values and lettings demand. The plot and rear garden are small; external space is low-maintenance with paved patio and artificial turf. Council tax is very low and tenure is freehold, which helps running costs and investor returns.
Suitable buyers are investors seeking mixed-use income, a small business owner who wants premises with living accommodation, or a buyer comfortable managing refurbishment and local area challenges. Any purchaser should carry out inspections, review the EPC, and check planning possibilities before committing.
