Summary - 269 PRESTON NEW ROAD BLACKBURN BB2 6PL
7 bed 5 bath Detached
Spacious period home with strong conversion and investment potential.
Seven bedrooms and five bathrooms over four levels
Substantial Victorian semi-detached house spanning four levels with 7 bedrooms and five bathrooms, offered chain free on a large plot. The home blends period features — high ceilings, bay windows, stained glass and original detailing — with modern updates such as double glazing and a C-rated EPC. Generous ground-floor living, a basement with utility and storage, plus two upper-floor suites create flexible family or rental layouts.
A rare two-level garage with double shutters provides secure parking and storage and offers conversion potential to a self-contained apartment (subject to planning). The large rear garden and wide plot give scope for extension or reconfiguration to increase living space or rental income. Location benefits include excellent mobile and broadband connectivity, nearby schools (including several rated Good or Outstanding), local amenities and frequent transport links.
Important considerations: the property sits in a very deprived area with above-average recorded crime and cavity walls assumed to lack insulation, which may require retrofit work. Council Tax Band E is above average. Any conversion to multiple flats or an HMO would require planning consent and building works; structural, insulation or electrical upgrades may be needed for large-scale subdivision.
This home will suit investors seeking a high-yield conversion opportunity or a large family wanting character and scope to customise. An internal viewing is recommended to fully appreciate the generous room sizes, layout and conversion potential.
