Summary - 8 HOOD STREET ACCRINGTON BB5 1BW
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Newly renovated, chain free investment or starter home near town amenities.
Victorian mid-terrace with sandstone facade
A stone-built Victorian mid-terrace offered chain free and recently renovated, this two-bedroom property sits close to Accrington town centre. The accommodation is compact but well-presented, with modern bathroom fittings, double glazing and a gas-combi boiler providing practical, low-effort heating. A small rear yard gives outdoor space for drying or a seating area.
At about 722 sq ft, the layout suits buy-to-let portfolios or a first-step purchase. The building’s sandstone construction with internal insulation retains character while reducing immediate work requirements. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, supporting tenants or homeowners working from home. Nearby amenities include shops, bus links and several primary and secondary schools, making the location convenient despite wider area challenges.
Important considerations: the property is leasehold and located in a very deprived area with a high recorded crime rate, which will affect rental demand and resale values. Rooms are small to medium in size and the house was built before 1900, so older-property considerations (services, damp checks, insurance) should be reviewed. Overall, it presents clear short-term rental potential after the recent upgrade, but buyers should allow for longer-term area-related market volatility.
