This true Edwardian bungalow offers single-level living with generous rooms and period character, ideal for someone looking to downsize without sacrificing space. The layout includes a large reception room, separate dining area, fitted kitchen and two double bedrooms, arranged across approximately 741 sq ft. Front and rear gardens provide low-maintenance outdoor space and there’s a useful brick outbuilding for storage.
Practical points strengthen the offer: a very long lease (approx. 900 years), council tax Band B (relatively cheap) and no onward chain, making a quicker move possible. The property benefits from mains gas central heating, double glazing and excellent mobile and broadband connections. Local transport links provide straightforward access to Blackburn, Burnley and major motorways.
Buyers should note material drawbacks honestly: the EPC is rated D and the cavity walls appear uninsulated, so energy efficiency improvements are likely needed. The area is described as deprived with above-average crime levels, which may concern some purchasers. Parking is on-street only.
Overall, this bungalow suits downsizers or buyers seeking a characterful, manageable home with scope to improve energy performance and modernise finishes. A viewing is essential to appreciate the single-storey layout and potential on offer.
