This two-bedroom mid-terrace in Oswaldtwistle is a low-cost entry or investment opportunity with clear scope for improvement. The house is freehold, has a small garden and double glazing fitted post-2002, and sits on an average-sized 689 sq ft footprint. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal add practical appeal for modern living or letting.
The interior is a renovation project: the living room retains a mid-century fireplace but the décor is dated and the kitchen shows signs of wear with reported damp. The building dates from before 1900 with sandstone/limestone walls likely lacking insulation — upgrading thermal performance and modernising heating and electrics should be factored into costs. EPC D and a mains gas boiler and radiators are already in place.
This property will be sold at online auction on unconditional terms with a strict 28-day completion. A buyers’ premium of £5,000 inc VAT is payable by bank transfer within two hours of winning, and the published starting price is £60,000 (reserve is higher and unpublished). Searches will be available before bidding; interested buyers should review the legal pack carefully.
Location strengths include proximity to several Good-rated primary schools and local convenience amenities. Note the local context: the area is classified as very deprived with higher-than-average crime rates. The house suits a first-time buyer prepared to renovate, or an investor targeting a value-add rental/refurbishment project.
