This elevated two-bedroom stone end terrace is offered at a low asking price and suited to investors or buyers prepared to renovate. The property includes a spacious lounge, a good-sized main bedroom, a separate dining kitchen, enclosed front forecourt and private rear yard. uPVC double glazing is already fitted and broadband/mobile connectivity is strong.
The house requires full modernisation: internal finishes and services are dated, ceilings are low in places, and heating is currently by electric room heaters. The building is leasehold (long lease from 1862) with a nominal ground rent; council tax is Band A. The small overall footprint (around 343 sq ft) and compact rooms limit scope for enlargement without structural change.
Location is practical for buy-to-let: close to Haslingden town centre, local amenities, schools and quick access to the M65/M66. The area is classified as very deprived with above-average crime rates and a transitional neighbourhood profile—factors to consider for rental demand and management.
For a landlord or first-time buyer on a budget, this property presents a clear refurbishment opportunity with potential for rental income or future resale after works. Essential spend should include heating upgrade, general redecoration, and possible structural or insulation improvements given the stone construction and assumed lack of wall insulation.
