Summary - 197 Newchurch Road OL13 0UE
3 bed 1 bath Terraced
Elevated three-storey Victorian house with private patio, ideal for families seeking space.
Chain free three-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace, approx. 931 sq ft
This three-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace offers generous, flexible living across three storeys and extends to about 931 sq ft. It sits on an elevated plot with a garden frontage and a private patio to the rear, ready for buyers who want immediate occupation and scope to add value through sympathetic updating. The property is chain free and comes with a long lease (999 years from 1882). EPC: B and council tax Band A keep running costs low.
The ground floor has two reception rooms and a long extended kitchen with fitted appliances and direct access to the patio — good for family life or entertaining. Upstairs there are two bedrooms and a bathroom, with a very large third-floor bedroom that benefits from a pitched ceiling, skylight and eaves storage. Proximity to several primary schools and local transport links to Rawtenstall and the M66 make the location practical for commuters and families.
Notable negatives are the area-wide context and some property condition points. The neighbourhood is in a very deprived area with above-average crime rates, and the building — constructed before 1900 in sandstone/limestone — likely lacks wall insulation. Interiors show mid-century fittings and will need modernization in places to reach their full potential. Buyers should factor refurbishment and decorative updating into budgets.
Overall this is a solid opportunity for a family or buyer seeking substantial period accommodation with long-term lease security, immediate occupancy and clear scope for improvement and value increase.
