Summary - 26 CARNARVON ROAD PRESTON PR1 8PU
2 bed 1 bath House
Ideal starter property with low council tax and easy city access.
Freehold Victorian mid-terrace with period features and high ceilings
This two-bedroom mid-terraced Victorian house sits within easy reach of Preston city centre, offering a compact, affordable starter home on a freehold title. The property retains period character including high ceilings and a chimney breast, alongside a modern fitted kitchen and three-piece bathroom — ready for immediate occupation with scope to personalise.
Internally the layout is efficient: vestibule, lounge, kitchen, two double bedrooms and one bathroom across approximately 568 sq ft. A small walled yard provides low-maintenance outdoor space. Heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators; double glazing is installed but predates 2002 and walls are assumed uninsulated, so insulating and upgrade works would improve comfort and running costs.
Important practical points are clear: broadband speeds are slow, local crime levels are high and the neighbourhood is in a very deprived area. Flood risk is medium; prospective buyers should seek professional checks and insurance quotes. Council Tax is Band A, which keeps ongoing charges low.
For first-time buyers this house represents an affordable entry into the market with period charm and potential to add value through targeted improvements (insulation, glazing, energy upgrades and cosmetic modernisation). Viewings are recommended for anyone seeking a city-centre base with modest running costs and renovation potential.
