Summary - 19, CHESTER ROAD, PRESTON PR1 5HR
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Affordable freehold terrace with strong transport links and refurbishment potential.
Two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace, approx. 653 sq ft
A compact two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace offered freehold in Preston’s PR1. The layout includes a generous separate reception room with a fireplace, an open-plan living/dining area and a kitchen with direct garden access. The double bedroom has a built-in wardrobe and the bathroom is modern with separate bath and shower plus a heated towel rail. At about 653 sq ft the footprint is modest but practical for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors.
The property is presented in liveable but dated condition: fittings, decor and some finishes would benefit from cosmetic updating to unlock value. Built c.1900–1929 with cavity walls (no insulation assumed) and double glazing of unknown age, the house currently sits at EPC band D. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators; services are untested and should be confirmed by buyers.
Location strengths include excellent public transport, nearby parks, local amenities and several well-rated schools within walking distance. Practical positives: freehold tenure, low council tax band and fast broadband/mobile signal. Notable drawbacks: the neighbourhood records very high crime and the wider area is classed as very deprived, which will affect rental demand and resale values for some buyers.
This property suits buyers who want an affordable entry into the market, investors targeting rental income or anyone prepared to carry out targeted refurbishment. Expect a small rear paved yard only and on-street parking. Viewing is recommended to assess scope for improvement and to verify services and measurements.
