Set on Blackburn Road in central Haslingden, this early-20th-century mid-terrace offers straightforward rental or refurbishment potential. The property provides around 1,098 sq ft across two main bedrooms plus an attic room, two bathrooms, a reception room and a modern-looking kitchen — practical spaces for a small family or tenants.
Key benefits include mains gas central heating, double glazing (installed before 2002), fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, all useful for letting appeal. There is no flood risk, and council tax is very cheap, helping running costs for an investor or cash-tight buyer.
Notable considerations: the building’s stone walls likely have no cavity insulation and the property dates from 1900–1929, so expect thermal and decorative upgrades will be needed. Crime levels in the area are above average and the wider neighbourhood is classified as very deprived — factors that affect tenant demand and resale pricing. EPC currently rated D.
This lot is offered at online auction on unconditional terms with strict 28-day completion. Starting price is £80,000; a buyer’s premium of £5,000 (inc. VAT) is payable by bank transfer within two hours of winning and sits above the sale price. Leasehold tenure and auction-specific fees mean this suits buyers able to move quickly and budget for immediate works.
