A straightforward auction lot offering a two-bedroom Victorian terraced house in Blackburn, presented chain-free and needing full renovation. The property has a traditional layout with one reception room, a kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom across two storeys, plus a small yard. Its 840 sqft footprint gives scope for refurbishment and rental or resale upside once modernised.
Location is a clear strength: fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and handy public transport links give easy access to Blackburn town centre. Nearby schools include several highly rated options (one Outstanding secondary and Outstanding primary), plus local parks and amenities. There is no identified flood risk and council tax is very cheap, which may help running costs for a landlord.
Buyers should plan for significant work and costs. The house is advertised for sale by Modern Method of Auction with a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of purchase price, minimum £6,600) and additional buyer fees; a Buyer Information Pack is payable. Tenure is stated as unknown and the property sits in a very deprived area, factors that will affect financing, insurance and resale timescales.
This property suits investors or experienced renovators who can manage refurbishment and navigate auction terms. It offers clear potential to add value through updating and renting or re-letting, but requires realistic budgeting for renovation, fees and any unseen repairs.
