Perched on Prospect Hill with far-reaching valley and town views, this chain-free two-bedroom mid-terrace combines period character with a recently updated kitchen and ready-to-move-in presentation. The living room is bright and centred on a feature gas fire, while the front paved garden offers a rare private seating area overlooking the town.
The kitchen has modern wall and base units, herringbone-style flooring and a useful adjoining utility porch that opens onto a low-maintenance enclosed courtyard. Upstairs, two well-proportioned bedrooms include a master with fitted wardrobes; the bathroom provides a practical three-piece suite. Practical details include mains gas central heating, double glazing (installation date unknown) and a very long 900-year lease with a nominal ground rent of £1.50 per annum.
Notable constraints are the property’s Victorian layout: rooms are relatively small and walls are likely uninsulated, so further energy upgrades may be beneficial (EPC TBC). The immediate area is classified as economically deprived with a high proportion of rented terraces, which may affect long-term resale or rental yields. That said, fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and extremely low council tax help keep running costs down.
This location is a strong convenience play: shops, cafés, Rawtenstall Market and Whitaker Park are all within a short walk, and regular bus links and the M66 provide wider connectivity. The house suits first-time buyers, couples, or small families seeking a ready-to-live-in home with scope for incremental improvement and good local amenities.
