Affordable chain-free starter with garden and extension potential in central Accrington.
Chain-free two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace with character features
A straightforward, chain-free two-bedroom Victorian terrace offering an affordable entry point into Accrington. The house has generously proportioned rooms, a bright living room with fireplace, and a private rear yard with scope for a rear extension subject to planning. The property sits on a long lease and comes with mains gas central heating and double glazing.
This home will suit first-time buyers looking for a low-priced starter home or hands-on buyers wanting value-add potential. The layout is practical across two floors with a large main bedroom, a second bedroom suitable as a child’s room or home office, and a family bathroom. The rear yard provides outdoor space and basic gardening or storage options.
Be realistic about the local context: the area is very deprived and local crime levels are high. Some updating or refurbishment may be required to modernise finishes and to improve thermal performance (the property dates from before 1900 and the wall insulation situation is unknown). The EPC is currently TBC. Practical positives include very cheap council tax, fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and easy access to local shops, schools and transport links.
Overall, this is a low-price, low-risk purchase for someone prepared to invest time or modest funds to improve the home. It offers a long lease and clear scope to increase value through updating and potential extension, but buyers should factor in the neighbourhood challenges and likely renovation works.
