Vacant two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace, ready for refurbishment or rent
Offered for sale at auction, this compact Victorian mid-terrace presents a low-entry purchase in Preston city. The house is vacant and ready for immediate refurbishment or rental, with two double bedrooms, a rear kitchen/diner and a small private courtyard. Double glazing and mains gas central heating are already in place.
The property sits in a popular residential area with excellent public transport links and easy access to the city centre, train station and M6. At 568 sq ft the house is small but practical, suited to an investor seeking a lettable asset or a buyer prepared to modernise. Council Tax Band A keeps running costs low.
Buyers should note the area is classified as very deprived with a higher crime level than average, and the property’s solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated. The EPC is D and the interior will need updating in places — floors and finishes are unfinished in parts. The sale will be conducted at auction on 29 October 2025; bidders must read the legal pack and allow for the standard auction deposit and buyer’s fee.
This is a straightforward, low-price auction opportunity for someone seeking a budget purchase in a city location. It offers rental potential or a modest renovation project, but carries the challenges of local area deprivation and likely refurbishment costs.
