Set on James Street in Dearnley, this mid-terraced, two-bedroom home has been modernised and is offered chain-free — an uncomplicated purchase for a first-time buyer or a buy-to-let investor. The ground floor provides a generous lounge with an electric fireplace and a modern fitted kitchen with direct access to a damp-proofed cellar for useful storage. Recent roof works include a guarantee that can be provided.
Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a contemporary bathroom with underfloor heating. The property benefits from double glazing and gas central heating via a combi boiler. Externally there is on-street parking to the front and a communal paved garden to the rear, providing a low-maintenance outdoor space.
Practical points to note: the house is leasehold with a very long lease remaining (833 years) and a nominal annual ground rent. EPC is rated C and council tax is described as very cheap, though sources within the paperwork state both Band A and Band B — buyers should verify the correct band with the local authority. Construction is traditional solid brick (likely without cavity insulation), so buyers considering energy upgrades may wish to factor retrofit costs into future plans.
Overall this is a straightforward, ready-to-live-in property in a comfortable suburbia setting close to Littleborough village, shops and countryside — suitable for those wanting a manageable home or a rental-let with minimal immediate works required.
