Refurbishment investment near train links and commuter routes.
Two double bedrooms plus two reception rooms for flexible layouts
A two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace in Darwen offered as a refurbishment project with strong rental potential. The house has two reception rooms, a separate kitchen and bathroom, and two double bedrooms over two storeys. Its stone facade and elevated rear outlook give genuine period character and scope for improvement.
Positioned within walking distance of Darwen train station, the property is appealing for investors targeting commuter rents; recent comparable lets on the street have reached around £900 pcm once modernised. The long lease (c.835 years) removes immediate leasehold pressure and there is no flood risk.
Buyers should plan for full modernisation: visible wear, outdated fittings, and likely decorating and heating upgrades. The sale will be by the Modern Method of Auction; buyers must allow for a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600) and a buyer information pack fee (£300), plus optional recommended services up to £450.
The local area is classified as very deprived with above-average crime and a high proportion of constrained renters. For an investor seeking a value-refurbishment in a commuter town, this house offers uplift potential but needs hands-on work and careful budgeting for purchase costs and renovation.
