Chain-free sale with a 999-year lease
Two double bedrooms and two reception rooms
Low-maintenance rear garden and outhouse storage

EPC rating to be confirmed; budget for energy improvements
Located in a deprived area with above-average crime levels
Very cheap council tax (Band A)
Good transport links and several nearby good-rated schools
A two-bedroom mid-terraced Victorian property in Great Harwood offered chain-free and with a very long 999-year lease. The house has well-proportioned rooms across two floors, a low-maintenance rear garden and useful outhouse storage — all helpful for first-time buyers seeking an affordable starter home or landlords looking for a rental opportunity.
The fabric is traditional and solid, but the interior requires some modernisation: cosmetic updating, kitchen improvements and possible bathroom upgrades are needed to bring the property up to contemporary standards. EPC rating is to be confirmed; buyers should budget for standard servicing and any energy-efficiency work.
The location is practical for everyday life, with good bus links to Accrington, Rishton and Blackburn and several well-rated local schools nearby. Note the local area is described as deprived with above-average crime statistics; this will affect resale and rental yields and should be weighed against the low asking price and cheap council tax band A.
Overall this is a clear value proposition for a cash-conscious first-time buyer or investor prepared to carry out refurbishment. The chain-free sale and long lease remove common transactional obstacles, but buyers should inspect in person and allow for updating costs and any necessary safety or compliance checks.
