This two-bedroom semi-detached home offers practical, low-maintenance living in a quiet cul-de-sac close to Royal Blackburn Hospital and the M65 (J5). The ground floor includes a lounge and a fitted dining kitchen with French doors to a small rear garden; two bedrooms with fitted wardrobes and a three-piece bathroom are upstairs. A driveway and front lawn add simple outdoor space.
Built in the 1980s with cavity wall construction and PVC double glazing (installed before 2002), the property has gas central heating via a boiler and radiators. The overall footprint is modest (about 588 sq ft), making it affordable to run — council tax is very low — and suited to a buyer seeking a compact, functional home or a straightforward rental opportunity.
Buyers should be aware of recorded local issues: the neighbourhood has high crime levels and very high area deprivation. The house is small and may require updating to suit modern tastes; services and fixtures have not been tested and should be professionally inspected. Tenure has been advised as freehold but buyers should confirm legal details.
This is a practical, budget-friendly choice for a first-time buyer, small family or investor wanting immediate occupancy or a let-ready asset near local schools and transport links. Its strengths are location convenience and low running costs; its limitations are size and the social challenges of the surrounding area.
