This substantial Victorian end-terraced house is set over four floors and offers genuine space and period character in Barnoldswick. High ceilings, wooden floors and a living room fireplace give the house traditional appeal, while gas central heating and double glazing provide practical comforts. The layout includes a lounge, dining room, kitchen, conservatory/lean-to and cellar, with three double bedrooms and a single bathroom upstairs.
Sold at auction with a guide price of £115,000–£135,000, the property presents a clear opportunity for buy-to-let returns or a family renovation. It is well placed for local schools and transport links, and benefits from fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The plot is small, and the property sits on a residential street of similar period homes.
Buyers should note important legal and condition factors: the sale is a public repossession and will proceed by auction on 4 November 2025. Interested parties must check the legal pack on the auction website before bidding and allow for potential refurbishment works to modernise bathrooms, kitchen and decorative finishes. The surrounding area is classified as deprived, which may affect rental demand and future resale values.
This home is best suited to cash buyers or investors comfortable with auction procedures and post-purchase works. For a buyer seeking period character with scope to add value, the property offers strong upside if budgeted renovation is acceptable.
