Affordable period home with refurbishment upside and potential extra bedroom.
Freehold Victorian mid-terrace, approx. 1,032 sq ft
A substantial mid-terrace Victorian house offered freehold with generous overall size (about 1,032 sq ft) and a large loft room that could be converted into a third bedroom. The living room is a comfortable, period-style space and the property includes a separate kitchen-diner and a manageable rear yard. Heating is by mains-gas boiler and radiators; windows are double-glazed though installation date is unknown.
This house is best suited to buyers looking for a renovation or investment project. The property needs modernisation throughout and the cavity walls appear to have no insulation (assumed), so upgrading heating efficiency and internal finishes will be necessary. The layout and loft present clear scope to add value by creating extra living space or improving the internal specification.
Location strengths are practical: very fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, and close proximity to local shops, cafes, takeaways and a railway. Nearby schools include a good-rated primary (Westminster Primary Academy) and local secondary provision. Council tax is very low, which helps running costs.
Be upfront about area challenges: the local area is classified as very deprived with very high recorded crime rates and wider “hampered aspiration” indicators. The plot is very small and the property will appeal to buyers who accept urban living and want a hands-on project rather than a move-in-ready home.
For an investor or a buyer with DIY capability, this terraced house offers affordable entry to Blackpool property with conversion and refurbishment potential to increase rental income or resale value. Buyers should budget for refurbishment, possible insulation improvements, and standard Victorian-era maintenance work.
