This two-bedroom mid-terrace on Back Rhoden Road offers an affordable, well-presented starter home in a semi-rural pocket of Oswaldtwistle. The living room’s multi-fuel log burner and neutral décor create a cosy, move-in-ready feel, while the compact west-facing yard provides a private outdoor spot for evening sun. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and local bus links give easy access to Accrington and Blackburn.
The property sits close to Jackhouse Nature Reserve and several well-rated primary schools, making it practical for families and first-time buyers who value nearby green space. Interiors include a contemporary shaker-style kitchen with integrated appliances and a stylish three-piece bathroom. The house is freehold with very cheap council tax, which helps running costs.
Buyers should note a few material points: the wider area shows signs of economic deprivation and recorded crime is above average. The building dates from the early 20th century with cavity walls assumed to lack insulation, so buyers may want to budget for improved wall insulation and possible general maintenance. Images and notes also flag potential damp/mould and some dated exterior elements — sensible buyers should arrange a survey.
Overall this property suits first-time buyers or investors seeking a modest, characterful terrace with immediate occupancy potential and straightforward upgrade opportunities. EPC is stated in the brochure as D but is listed as to be confirmed in the particulars; interested parties should verify the current certificate.
