A practical three-bedroom mid-terrace offered freehold and sold at auction with a starting bid of £79,950. The house provides sensible room sizes across 715 sq ft, including a large front reception, a well-equipped kitchen and a private rear yard — all within walking distance of shops, schools and local amenities.
This property is best suited to investors or buyers comfortable with a value purchase and straightforward upgrading. The accommodation is functional now, with modern kitchen units, laminate flooring in the living room and double glazing, but there is clear scope for cosmetic improvement and potential rental income in a reliable letting location.
Buyers should note material factors: the home sits in a very deprived area with higher local crime, council tax band A and an EPC rating of D. It will be sold at auction, sold as seen, and services, appliances and heating have not been tested — factor in immediate maintenance and any refurbishment costs when bidding.
Practical positives include excellent transport links to Blackburn town centre, good mobile and broadband connectivity, nearby good-rated primary schools and a low-maintenance rear yard. For investors or handy owner-occupiers this is a low-entry purchase with short-term letting or longer-term value-add potential.
