Description

This semi-detached property presents a significant refurbishment opportunity, ideal for investors or developers seeking to add value. Located in the desirable Moorside area of Oldham, the property features an entrance hallway, a lounge, and a kitchen/diner on the ground floor. The first floor currently accommodates two bedrooms and a family bathroom, although it was originally designed as a three-bedroom home. Buyers may consider reinstating the original layout, subject to necessary consents and building regulations. The property requires a comprehensive modernisation throughout, making it an attractive project for owner-occupiers as well. Externally, there is a front garden, a private driveway for off-road parking, and an enclosed rear garden. Offered with vacant possession and freehold tenure, this property is conveniently situated near local shops, schools, and transport links, while also enjoying proximity to open fields and countryside.

Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This semi-detached property on Thirlstone Avenue presents a significant refurbishment opportunity in a desirable location. Priced at £115,000, the asking figure is notably cheaper than the local average, which bodes well for potential investors or those looking to create their dream home. The property requires extensive modernisation throughout, allowing for a complete reimagining of the space. With the option to reinstate the original three-bedroom layout, there’s plenty of scope to enhance both functionality and value in this home.

While the property has a solid exterior and a good roof, the interior condition is poor, with extensive work needed across several areas. This is a heavy renovation project, meaning buyers should prepare for a full-gut programme rather than lighter cosmetic refreshes. However, the location offers a good potential for growth, making this a compelling investment for the right buyer.

Key opportunities

  • The chance to restore the original three-bedroom layout, enhancing living space and appeal.
  • Scope for a full modernisation to create a contemporary home in a sought-after area.
  • Potential to improve layout and functionality throughout the property.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and a £100,000–£150,000 works budget make this a full-gut programme, not a refresh.
