Summary - 17 FORE STREET LOWER DARWEN DARWEN BB3 0QD
1 bed 1 bath Terraced
Period character with refurbishment potential in well-connected town location.
Victorian mid-terrace with stone facade and stained glass
A compact Victorian mid-terrace on Fore Street offering substantial scope for first-time buyers or investors. The property retains period character — a stone facade, stained glass and a fireplace — while providing a large double bedroom, separate reception room and an attic for storage or workspace. Its location is a strong selling point with vibrant local amenities, fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and reliable public transport links.
The house requires renovation and modernisation throughout: walls are likely uninsulated, some rooms show dated wear and there is potential damp in the living room. Ceiling heights are generally low and there may be parking constraints typical of older terraced streets. The vendor’s price reflects the work needed and the opportunity to add value by improving insulation, updating services and refurbishing the interior.
Practical benefits include freehold tenure, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, an unusually large bathroom with a four-piece suite, and a very low council tax band. No flood risk is recorded. For buyers wanting a project in an affluent, well-connected area, this house offers a livable layout and clear improvement potential to increase comfort and market value.
Viewing is recommended for those prepared to renovate or redevelop: the property is best suited to buyers who value location and character and are comfortable undertaking works to personalise the home or ready it for rental.
