Doer-upper house with 'huge potential' in one of Greater Manchester's most sought-after areas goes on market for just £160,000

One of the biggest benefits of buying a doer-upper home is that they can often be bought for a much cheaper price with the potential of adding lots of value to it. Although these types of properties require a lot more work than a new build would, you are likely to reap the reward when it comes to selling it in the future.

A quaint three-bed terraced house has just come on the market in Rochdale for a bargain price of £160,000 - and estate agents say it offers 'huge potential'. The stone-built character property is in need of a full renovation but is expected to attract a 'high level of interest' due to its sought-after location.

The 'exciting project' has been chosen as our Property of the Week by our MEN property journalist, who picks a different home that is up for sale across the region whether that be for its eye-catching interior, reasonable price or desirable location.

Listed for sale on Zoopla on May 15, the attractive property is found in Littleborough, a pretty town nestled in the foothills of the picturesque south Pennines.

Littleborough's stone-built town centre is a designated conservation area because of its special architectural qualities, and it also hosts the 130-acre reservoir Hollingworth Lake.

The average house price in the town was £239,265 over the last year, which has gone up by 13 percent on the previous year and 24 percent up on the 2020 peak of £193,203.

As the area has become more desirable with house prices climbing, this £160,000 end-terrace house could be considered a bargain.

Inside it offers an abundance of charm with many original features throughout including parquet flooring and cast iron fireplaces.
