This Victorian mid-terrace offers generous, well-proportioned rooms across three storeys and a large 250 sq ft loft room—ideal for a growing household or buyer wanting extra flexible space. The south-facing rear garden with patio and lawn provides a bright outdoor area that catches daytime sun. Practical fixtures include a modern multi-fuel stove, gas central heating with boiler and radiators, and double glazing installed after 2002.
The ground floor has a 175 sq ft lounge and a 145 sq ft kitchen-dining room with space for a family table and integrated appliances. Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a stylish bathroom. The property is freehold, around 996 sq ft in total, and sits in a popular, accessible area with local shops, schools (several rated Good), bus links to Rawtenstall and routes towards Manchester, and on-street parking nearby.
Known negatives are important to note: the EPC is rated E and the external walls are original sandstone/limestone with assumed no installed insulation, so further thermal improvements may be needed. The exterior appears in need of some maintenance and modernization. The location has a medium flood risk and sits within a more deprived area profile; local secondary school ratings are mixed. On balance, this is a spacious, characterful period home with strong scope for energy upgrades and cosmetic refurbishment to add value.
Suitable buyers include first-time purchasers and couples seeking a larger-than-average loft room or buyers looking for a renovation project with good long-term potential. The asking price reflects the property’s size and location with room to improve energy efficiency and finish cosmetic works.
