Description

This extended two-bedroom terraced house has two reception rooms, a rear kitchen and an enclosed west-facing garden. The ground floor layout provides separate living and dining areas, with the kitchen opening directly onto the garden. Upstairs are two double bedrooms, including an extended L-shaped second bedroom, and a shower room. Storage is available in the main bedroom and on the landing, where the Ideal Vogue C26 combination boiler is housed. The property has gas central heating and UPVC double glazing. It requires modernisation, and the roof needs attention. The rear garden has scope for landscaping and outdoor seating. The house is opposite the River Bollin and within walking distance of Macclesfield town centre, with the railway station around half a mile away. It is offered with no vendor chain and by modern method of auction. Buyers should check the auction terms, boundaries, tenure and condition, and investigate the work required before proceeding.

46out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

The standout is the setting: this two-bedroom terrace looks across to mature riverside trees, with the town centre within walking distance. Two reception rooms offer useful flexibility, while the enclosed west-facing garden has scope to become a more inviting outdoor space. Inside, the photographed rooms show peeling and discoloured surfaces in several places, worn flooring and a basic kitchen, giving a buyer plenty of scope to reshape the finish and make the home their own. The listing also says the roof needs attention, though its condition is not clear from the photos.

At £115,000, the asking price cannot yet be judged against local £/sq ft because the floor area is missing. The £35,000–£60,000 renovation range points to a substantial project, and without floor area or a stated resale value the overall value-add case remains hard to assess; that uncertainty is reflected in the low-opportunity E grade. The riverside outlook, flexible layout and garden give the project character, but the roof and the scale of the works need careful budgeting.

Key opportunities

  • Use the two separate reception rooms to create a flexible living and dining arrangement suited to the next owner.
  • Rework the basic kitchen and tired finishes to give the interior a more cohesive, personalised feel.
  • Clear and landscape the enclosed west-facing garden, making better use of its afternoon and evening sun.

Key risks

  • The £35,000–£60,000 works range, peeling and discoloured surfaces across several rooms, worn floors, garden clearance and stated roof attention make this a substantial budget and programme, not a cosmetic refresh.
