Summary - 197 Newchurch Road OL13 0UE
3 bed 1 bath Terraced
Three-storey Victorian terrace with long lease (c.855 years remaining)
A substantial three-storey Victorian terrace arranged over three floors, offered chain free and with long leasehold security (999 years from 1882; c.855 years remaining). The house provides flexible living with two reception rooms, an extended fitted kitchen and a large top-floor bedroom that benefits from a pitched ceiling and skylight. Practical highlights include double glazing, mains gas central heating and a low Council Tax band A.
The property is best suited to families seeking space near local schools — St Joseph’s and Holy Trinity are within 0.1 miles — and commuters with reasonably quick road links into Rawtenstall and the M66. The rear private patio and small front garden add outdoor space while the mid-terrace stone façade retains period character.
There is clear scope to modernise and add value. Some internal areas show dated finishes and the description indicates a need for general updating to fixtures, flooring and decor. The external stone walls are likely uninsulated (as-built); buyers should consider insulation improvements and potential associated costs.
Location factors to note plainly: the area is a deprived, blue-collar terrace neighbourhood with above-average crime statistics. Broadband and mobile signal are strong and there is no recorded flood risk. The property is presented as move-in capable but will reward refurbishment and energy-efficiency upgrades.
