This substantial mid-terraced Victorian house offers five bedrooms across four levels and about 1,896 sq ft of accommodation — a rare size for Colne Road. The property retains period features such as bay windows, high ceilings and a fireplace, and includes a large cellar and enclosed rear yard. Gas central heating and existing double glazing provide basic comfort while you plan improvements.
The house is offered chain-free and will be sold via the Modern Method of Auction. Buyers should note the auction process: a Buyer Information Pack fee of £300 and a non-refundable reservation fee of 4.5% (minimum £6,600) apply on completion of a successful bid. Prospective purchasers should inspect with their lender or surveyor before bidding.
The building needs renovation and modernisation throughout — exterior wear, likely uninsulated cavity walls, and double glazing fitted before 2002. There is one bathroom and multiple separate WCs, which may limit convenience for larger households until updated. The area is very deprived with above-average crime, so consider security and long-term demand when budgeting works.
For investors or purchasers seeking a large family home, this property offers clear scope: convert the cellar (subject to consent), reconfigure bathrooms, and improve energy efficiency to increase value. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are strong, and local schools and community amenities are nearby, supporting rental or family use once refurbished.
