Description

This two-bedroom terraced house in Shaw has a lounge, a separate dining room, a kitchen, and a first-floor shower room. The lounge connects to the dining room through double doors, and the kitchen is positioned at the rear. Upstairs are two bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with two front-facing windows. The property also has an enclosed rear courtyard and a small front forecourt. The house requires substantial refurbishment, including work to the kitchen fittings, flooring, decoration and general finishes. Its existing room arrangement provides scope to update the accommodation, subject to any necessary consents. The listing states that the property has previously been extended, but that the relevant planning and Building Regulations documentation has not yet been confirmed; this should be checked during conveyancing. Shaw's shops, cafes and everyday services are nearby, along with local schools and Shaw and Crompton Metrolink stop. The listing also notes access to local parks, walking routes and road links to surrounding towns. The property is suited to purchasers prepared to undertake a significant refurbishment.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

65out of 100
Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £130,000, this two-bedroom terrace is priced well below the local average at £181/sq ft versus £257, making the asking price a clear acquisition opportunity. The dated, worn interiors and incomplete kitchen fittings provide a substantial canvas to rework the two reception spaces and improve the home to your own specification; the enclosed paved courtyard adds useful outdoor space. The shower room appears comparatively serviceable, and no obvious major roof or structural issue is visible in the exterior views.

The £30,000–£48,000 renovation range makes this a significant project rather than a cosmetic update. The calculated purchase-plus-midpoint-works figure is £169,000 against an implied local average of £184,448, before stamp duty or fees; that is a useful comparison, not a renovated-value estimate.

Key opportunities

  • Rework the lounge and separate dining room into refreshed, practical reception spaces while retaining the traditional layout.
  • The damaged, incomplete kitchen fittings offer scope to create a more cohesive kitchen as part of the wider improvement project.
  • Clear and tidy the enclosed paved courtyard to make better use of its established planting and outdoor space.

Key risks

  • The £30,000–£48,000 works range and worn finishes across several rooms point to a substantial programme of kitchen, flooring and decoration work, not a cosmetic refresh.
