Description
This four-bedroom terraced house presents a unique opportunity for both investors and families seeking a project. Previously registered as a five-bedroom HMO, the property requires modernisation to unlock its full potential. The ground floor features a welcoming entrance hallway, a lounge, a separate dining room, and a fitted kitchen. The first floor houses four bedrooms, including one with potential for an en-suite conversion, along with a family bathroom. Recent upgrades include brand-new UPVC double-glazed windows and doors, as well as gas central heating.
Externally, the property boasts easy-to-maintain front and rear gardens, with the rear garden benefiting from a desirable southerly aspect. An allocated parking space is available behind the property, and the rear yard has potential for accommodating two small cars. Conveniently located on Abbey Hills Road, it offers easy access to Oldham and Ashton town centres, along with a variety of local amenities. This property is offered with no onward chain, making it an exciting prospect for those looking to create a home tailored to their taste or an investment opportunity.
WHOTS analysis

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
65out of 100
Grade CPotential opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £180,000, this four-bedroom terrace is priced at £174/sq ft against a local average of £217/sq ft, making the asking price a clear acquisition opportunity. The separate lounge and dining room, previous five-bedroom HMO use, and stated parking give buyers useful flexibility, while new uPVC windows and doors and gas central heating provide a helpful starting point.
The photos show a substantial project rather than a light refresh: there are dated finishes and worn flooring, plus a partly stripped room with damaged or missing wall and ceiling finishes and visible staining and deterioration in places. That leaves scope to rework the interiors to suit a family home or investment, with a stated renovation range of £18,000–£35,000. The score is a C: the price and fundamentals are encouraging, though the condition and project scale temper the overall opportunity.
Key opportunities
- Use the separate lounge and dining room to shape a more contemporary family layout while retaining distinct living and dining spaces.
- The four-bedroom layout and previous five-bedroom HMO use offer flexibility to configure the home around family needs or an investment plan.
- Refresh the dated kitchen, living spaces and flooring, and make good the partly stripped room to create a cohesive interior; the stated new uPVC windows and doors and gas central heating are useful starting points.
Key risks
- The partly stripped room, debris, damaged or missing wall and ceiling finishes, and worn flooring make this a substantial making-good and redecoration programme; allow for the stated £18,000–£35,000 works range and a longer programme than a cosmetic refresh.
- Visible staining and wall deterioration in places should be investigated and addressed as part of the works.
