This recently renovated three-bedroom semi-detached house on Higher Gate Road offers a ready-to-move-in family home with a traditional layout and useful outdoor space. Neutral decor throughout, new electrics and replastered walls provide a clean, contemporary finish while retaining period bay windows and mouldings that give character to the reception and dining rooms.
The ground floor flows from a welcoming hallway into a reception room, generous dining room and open-plan kitchen area. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The plot includes an immaculate rear garden with paved, lawn and decking areas plus ample off-street parking to the front.
Practical benefits include a mains-gas boiler with radiator heating, double glazing and fast broadband — helpful for family life and remote working. Planning permission has previously been approved for a single-storey extension, offering scope to increase living space (subject to reinstatement of permissions and building costs).
Be aware of a few material points: the property is leasehold (long lease remaining, c.900 years), has an EPC rating of E, and the cavity walls are recorded as uninsulated (assumed). These are straightforward to address but will affect running costs and may require investment to improve energy performance. Overall this home will suit a growing family seeking a well-presented, characterful house with extension potential in a convenient Accrington location.
