A two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace offering clear rental or refurbishment potential in central Darwen. The house has two reception rooms, a modernised kitchen and bathroom, plus a low-maintenance yard and on-street parking, making it straightforward to let or update for a resale uplift.
This is a leasehold property with an unusually long remaining term (approx. 842 years) and is being sold chain-free, which simplifies purchase. The location is highly convenient: a short walk to Darwen town centre, local bus routes and nearby primary and secondary schools, supporting strong tenant demand.
Notable negatives are plain: the property needs renovation throughout, sits in an area with above-average crime and medium flood risk, and is in a very deprived local area. These factors will influence insurance, management costs and the type of tenants attracted, although council tax is very cheap and mobile/broadband connectivity is strong.
Suited to investors or buyers comfortable with renovation, this home presents a predictable short-term project with potential rental income (estimated £725 pcm) or a future resale after improvement works. Buyers should budget for remedial and cosmetic repairs, review insurance and flood implications, and inspect services and structure before committing.
