This two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace offers an affordable entry into Preston’s PR1 postcode with clear scope for improvement. The property is freehold, of traditional layout, and sits close to local shops, schools and places of worship — convenient for daily life and for rental demand.
Internally the home provides a lounge, fitted kitchen, two bedrooms and a three-piece bathroom within about 813 sq ft. Heating is by electric room heaters and glazing is double glazed (install date unknown) — sensible short-term basics but likely to be expensive to run and a candidate for upgrading.
Outside there is a small paved yard with a brick shed; the yard and outbuilding are described as derelict and will need work. The house was constructed c.1900–1929 and retains period character, which suits buyers looking to refurbish for personal use or to increase rental yield.
Important negatives: the area is rated very deprived with high local crime, so buyers should consider security and resale or letting implications. The property appears to need some renovation and modern heating/electrical upgrades; factor these costs into any purchase or investment plans.
