A compact three-bedroom terrace in Little Harwood offered chain-free and ready for a full refurbishment. The property’s long 911-year lease and low ground rent make it straightforward from a tenure perspective, while the small footprint (approx. 649 sq ft) suits buyers seeking an affordable starter home or investors targeting value-add projects.
The house has core essentials in place: mains gas boiler and radiators, double glazing, off-street driveway parking and an enclosed rear garden. The mid‑20th century build is characteristic and solid but dated internally — expect cosmetic and structural refurbishment, improvement to wall insulation, and updates to kitchen and bathroom. EPC rating D signals there is scope to improve energy efficiency and reduce running costs.
Location offers practical benefits: good local schools within walking distance, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The surrounding area is diverse and lively, with city amenities and Blackburn town centre within easy reach. Note the neighbourhood experiences higher deprivation levels and average crime rates, which will influence long‑term rental demand and resale dynamics.
This home is best for first‑time buyers willing to undertake a renovation or investors seeking a low‑entry asset with clear uplift potential. Viewings are recommended for those who can budget for works and want a property where improvements will directly add value.
