Characterful three-bed semi with south garden and renovation potential near Whitaker Park.
Stone-built early 20th-century semi-detached with period features
A stone-built, early 20th-century semi-detached home positioned on the edge of Rawtenstall town centre and beside Whitaker Park. The house offers three bedrooms, a generous 200sqft lounge, fitted kitchen, downstairs WC and a useful pantry/store room — all set on a decent plot with south-facing rear garden and long side driveway providing off-street parking.
This property is appealing to families or first-time buyers seeking location and potential: popular primary schools are nearby, the M66 link to Manchester is straightfoward and local leisure amenities are within easy reach. The south-facing garden and mature boundary stone wall give pleasant private outdoor space, while the internal layout provides scope to reconfigure or modernise to personal taste.
Practical points: the home is sold freehold and chain free, but does require updating. The glazing is older double glazing (installed before 2002), the fabric likely lacks modern wall insulation and the EPC is D. There is a single family bathroom and some rooms will need redecoration and general modernisation to maximise comfort and energy efficiency.
In short, this is a characterful period home with good transport links, schools and parkside position, offering clear potential for improvement and value uplift for buyers prepared to renovate.
