The Client Brief

A new client approached us in search of a strong buy-to-let opportunity in Greater Manchester, with a focus on long-term rental income and minimal upfront work. After reviewing several options, we sourced a fully refurbished 2-bedroom property in Little Hulton, just a short distance from Walkden. The property offered excellent value, modern finishes, and strong rental demand in the area—making it a smart, hassle-free investment with solid yield potential.

About the Property

This beautifully presented freehold mid-terrace property has been fully refurbished to a high standard, making it an ideal choice for first-time buyers, downsizers, or buy-to-let investors. Situated within walking distance of Walkden Shopping Centre, the home offers a spacious and stylish lounge that flows into a charming kitchen-diner, complete with base units, open shelving, space for a washing machine and freestanding cooker, generous under-stairs storage, and direct access to the rear garden. Upstairs, you’ll find two well-proportioned bedrooms and a modern, newly fitted bathroom. The low-maintenance rear garden is not overlooked, providing a private and peaceful outdoor space. Located in Little Hulton, the property is well-connected for commuting into Manchester or Bolton via nearby bus routes, train services, the A580, and motorway links. Additional benefits include a Worcester combination boiler (installed in 2016 and last serviced in 2023), a newly fitted consumer unit, and a boarded loft with a pull-down ladder. Offered with no onward chain, this turn-key home offers both comfort and convenience.

Transport Links

The property benefits from excellent transport links, with Walkden Station just 0.9 miles away, providing direct access to Manchester and surrounding areas. Farnworth Station (1.8 miles) and Kearsley Station (1.9 miles) offer additional rail options, making commuting straightforward and convenient. The location also enjoys easy access to major road networks, including the A580 and M61.

The Repairs

As part of the final preparations, the property was brought fully up to standard with an EICR, Gas Safety Certificate, and EPC all provided. Additional improvements included new carpet fitted in the front bedroom, a freshly painted fireplace to enhance the lounge’s appearance, and a garden tidy to create a clean, low-maintenance outdoor space—ready for immediate occupancy.
