Set on Sandy Lane in Lower Darwen, this 1930s three-bedroom semi-detached house offers generous reception space, a driveway and a detached garage — ideal for buyers who want space and potential. The layout includes two sitting rooms, a kitchen, three bedrooms and a family bathroom across two storeys, providing a practical family footprint ready for modernisation.
The property requires renovation throughout, presenting clear scope to update kitchens, bathrooms, décor and services to current standards. Period features such as bay windows, a traditional fireplace and decorative corbels give character and a strong base for sympathetic restoration. Double glazing and mains gas central heating are already in place.
Sold via modern auction with no onward chain, this home suits first-time buyers or investors comfortable with auction conditions and refurbishment work. The plot includes modest front and rear gardens, a long driveway and a garage — useful for parking and storage in a suburb with good transport links, schools and quick access to the M65.
Buyers should note the sale is subject to auction terms: a reservation fee and buyer’s pack apply, and completion times are fixed. The property is leasehold with a long lease remaining and is being offered as a renovation project, so budget for works and confirm mortgage suitability before bidding.
