This mid-terrace stone property on Blackburn Road is a compact, period home offering three bedrooms across 1,098 sq ft. The house has gas central heating, double glazing (installed before 2002) and a contemporary kitchen — practical basics for rental or resale schemes. Broadband is fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting modern tenancy needs.
The sale will be by online auction with unconditional terms and strict 28-day completion. The advertised starting price is £90,000; a buyer’s premium of £5,000 (inc. VAT) is payable separately within two hours of winning. The reserve price is higher and unpublished — bidders should factor auction fees and swift completion into their budgets.
Structurally the property reflects its era (circa 1900–1929) and has sandstone/limestone walls assumed to have no insulation. Double glazing is older and the EPC is D; upgrading windows, insulation and general modernisation would improve energy performance and long-term returns. The local area is classified as very deprived with above-average crime, which affects tenant demand and valuation outlook.
Nearby schools include an Outstanding primary and good secondary options, and local amenities such as pubs, streams and woodland add local character. This house suits investors comfortable with auction purchases and refurbishment, or buyers seeking an affordable starter home willing to carry out planned improvements.
