This three-bedroom semi-detached house on Bowland Avenue offers straightforward family living with good transport links and scope to add value. Positioned within walking distance of Chorley town centre and close to Chorley train and bus stations, the location suits commuters heading to Manchester or Preston. The property is freehold, approximately 950 sq ft, and includes a private rear garden and a garage.
The house is a mid-20th-century build with period character and double glazing. Internally the layout provides a front lounge, rear kitchen/diner opening to the garden, and three first-floor bedrooms with a family bathroom. The mature rear garden and modest front lawn provide outdoor space for children or pets.
Practical considerations: the home appears dated and will benefit from cosmetic updating and potential insulation improvements — walls are likely system-built with no insulation (assumed). Heating is by mains gas and room heaters; the EPC is D. Local area conditions include high crime levels and a very deprived neighbourhood classification, which will affect resale and rental appeal. Council tax is very low, and broadband and mobile signal are strong.
Overall, this property suits couples or families seeking an affordable, centrally located house they can modernise over time, or buyers aiming to invest in improvement-led value uplift. Readers should note the material negatives (deprivation, crime, dated condition, likely insulation shortcomings) alongside the clear transport and schooling advantages.
