A two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace in Oswaldtwistle offered for online auction — vacant and ready for refurbishment. The property is a large-layout terrace with high ceilings and traditional stone façade, providing clear scope to modernise and add value. Internally it currently comprises two reception rooms, kitchen, bathroom and two well-proportioned bedrooms across multiple storeys.
Presented as a renovation project, the house needs updating throughout: cosmetic work, likely improvement to insulation (cavity walls assumed uninsulated), and general modernisation of fixtures and finishes. There is no reported flood risk and the property benefits from mains gas central heating and double glazing (installation date unknown). EPC is on order and the buyer should allow for a potential re-certification cost.
This location suits investors targeting strong rental demand and high yield: local rents for similar homes are around £700–£750 pcm, and the property is offered with vacant possession for immediate re-letting post-refurb. Note material considerations: the area records higher crime and wider-area deprivation; the plot is small, and the sale is by online auction (sold as seen) on 1st October 2025 unless sold prior. Buyers should budget for renovation costs, potential remedial work, and standard auction purchase terms.
For landlords or experienced renovators seeking a high-yield opportunity near Accrington town centre and M65 links, this house offers upside once modernised. For owner-occupiers, be aware of neighbourhood conditions and the scope of works required before moving in.
