A newly refreshed two-bedroom mid-terrace offering clear value for first-time buyers or investors seeking a low-entry property in Blackburn. The house has been newly plastered throughout and fitted with a new kitchen and bathroom, presenting a largely move-in ready layout across two floors and approximately 808 sq ft of space.
Practical strengths include gas central heating, uPVC double glazing and a small rear yard with new stone surfacing. The generous lounge and main bedroom give comfortable everyday living; local amenities, good primary schools and Royal Blackburn Hospital are within walking distance, with easy road links to Blackburn town centre and the M65.
Buyers should note this property will be sold at auction with a starting bid of £109,950. The area has high crime and significant deprivation, and the building’s original sandstone/limestone walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation. Services, appliances and heating have not been tested and may need checking or upgrading after purchase.
This home suits a buyer seeking an affordable, low-maintenance starter home or an investor looking for straightforward rental potential in a city location. The combination of recent internal works and outstanding local demand for low-priced housing creates immediate practical value, balanced by the neighbourhood’s socio-economic challenges.
