This 1930s semi-detached property in South Manchester is in fair to poor condition throughout. The kitchen and bathroom are original and well overdue for replacement. Single glazed windows throughout will need upgrading for energy efficiency. The roof shows signs of wear with missing ridge tiles visible in listing photos. Electrics appear to be dated with older style sockets visible in multiple rooms. Decoratively the property is tired but structurally appears sound. The rear garden is overgrown but has good potential.
