This garden-fronted mid-terrace offers a ready-to-move-in starter home after a recent programme of modernisation. New kitchen and bathroom installations and two generous reception rooms create flexible living space for everyday life and occasional entertaining. The property is chain free and ready for immediate occupation.
Practical features include two double bedrooms, a private yard accessed via French doors, and mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators. The home sits close to Darwen town centre and train station, with the M65 nearby — useful for commuting and access to local shops and amenities.
Be aware of several material points. The house sits in an area classed as very deprived with higher crime levels locally; buyers should factor local context into their decision. The property is leasehold (long remainder of 863 years) and has double glazing installed before 2002. The external walls are cavity as built and assumed to have no added insulation, which may affect future running costs and improvement plans.
Overall, this terrace is best suited to first-time buyers or investors seeking a low-entry purchase with immediate occupation and modest running costs (very cheap council tax). It delivers modern fixtures and sensible layout but buyers should budget for potential energy-efficiency upgrades and consider local area factors when viewing.
