Description

Sleigh & Son offer this two-bedroom terraced house close to Ashton town centre, local amenities, bus routes, the train station and motorway connections. The property is being sold with no vendor chain and is described as requiring full renovation; the seller is seeking cash buyers due to the extent of the work required. The ground floor comprises an entrance vestibule, lounge, kitchen, rear vestibule and bathroom. Upstairs are two double bedrooms, with a cupboard and loft access in the second bedroom. Outside, there is an enclosed rear yard with a brick surround. The house is of traditional brick construction with a tiled roof and is connected to mains electricity, water and drainage. It is freehold, subject to a £1.50 annual rentcharge, and falls within Council Tax Band A.

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

45out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This is a substantial renovation project: the two-bedroom terrace has dated finishes in the lounge and bedrooms, an older kitchen, and significant visible damage to the bathroom’s wall and ceiling finishes. The enclosed, mainly hard-surfaced rear yard offers a practical starting point, while the brick frontage appears broadly intact in the submitted view. The bathroom damage should be investigated to establish whether there is further deterioration behind the exposed finishes.

The £80,000 asking price cannot yet be judged against local £/sqf values because the floor area is missing. The listing also restricts the sale to cash investors, so buyers should confirm their funding and allow for a full interior programme rather than a cosmetic refresh. The location near Ashton Town Centre and transport links is a useful positive for a project of this scale.

Key opportunities

  • Rework and modernise the kitchen and bathroom as part of a coordinated interior scheme, with the bathroom damage investigated before finalising the scope.
  • Refresh the lounge and both bedrooms to create a consistent finish across the two-bedroom layout.
  • Clear and assess the enclosed rear yard, then make practical improvements suited to its hard-surfaced layout.

Key risks

  • The bathroom’s damaged and exposed wall and ceiling finishes may conceal further deterioration; establish the cause and extent before setting the programme.
  • The stripped-back condition implied by the visible bathroom damage, alongside dated finishes across the house, calls for a substantial multi-room programme and time for investigation—not a cosmetic refresh.
