Summary - 65 SKIPTON ROAD COLNE BB8 0NU
3 bed 1 bath Terraced
Characterful town property with recent roof and new boiler, ideal for first purchase.
Three bedrooms including converted attic room
This traditional three-storey stone mid-terrace offers practical, well-laid-out living across three floors — a strong fit for first-time buyers or small families. The ground floor has two versatile reception rooms and a fitted kitchen; the converted attic provides a generous third bedroom. Recent works include a re-roof in November 2024 and a new boiler installed January 2025, reducing near-term major maintenance concerns.
Externally the house sits behind a small forecourt with an enclosed rear yard ideal for seating or storage. The property benefits from fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, and is close to local shops, buses and several good primary and secondary schools, making daily life straightforward.
Be aware this home sits in a very deprived area with above-average local crime; the neighbourhood is predominantly constrained renters. The building is a traditional sandstone/limestone terrace with assumed no wall insulation, so heating costs could be higher than modern equivalents despite the new boiler. The tenure is leasehold with a long remaining term (about 900 years). Council tax is very low, which will help running costs.
Overall this is a characterful, value-priced town property with ready-to-use services and further potential through cosmetic improvements and insulation upgrades. Buyers seeking a manageable purchase near amenities and schools will find this a practical option, while investors should note the local rental market profile and area-deprivation indicators.
