Summary - Wavell Street, Burnley, BB12 BB12 6DX
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Chain-free two-bed with garden — ideal entry-level buy for hands-on first-time buyers..
Chain free freehold with private garden
This two-bedroom semi-detached house on Wavell Street offers an affordable, chain-free entry into homeownership. The property is freehold, has double glazing, gas central heating and a private garden — practical features that suit a first-time buyer or small household. At 686 sq ft the home is an average-sized layout with a living room, two bedrooms and a three-piece bathroom suite.
The house sits in a very deprived area with high local crime; buyers should weigh neighbourhood safety and insurance costs. The cavity walls were built without added insulation (assumed), so further investment may be needed to improve thermal performance and running costs despite a current EPC of C. The decor and some fittings are dated, offering clear scope for cosmetic updating or a modest refurbishment to add value.
Practical positives include excellent mobile signal, fast broadband and nearby schools rated Good, making the location suitable for working households and families prioritising connectivity and local education. There is no flooding risk and council tax is very cheap, which helps running costs while you renovate or personalise the home.
Overall this property presents a low-priced, chain-free opportunity for a first-time buyer or investor prepared to accept a challenged area and to carry out improvement work. The garden and basic modern conveniences give immediate liveability while modest upgrades would increase comfort and long-term value.
