Vacant three-bedroom detached home with garden, garage and excellent commuter links — scope to modernise..
Vacant three-bedroom detached house with front and rear lawns
This vacant, freehold three-bedroom detached house on Bury Road offers a solid family layout and countryside views close to Rawtenstall town centre. The property stands on a small plot with lawned front and rear gardens, a detached garage and driveway — practical for parking and storage. Its position delivers privacy and easy access to the A56/M66 for commuters.
Internally the house provides two reception rooms, a functional kitchen and a single bathroom. Many fittings and finishes date from the late 20th century, so there is clear scope to modernise and personalise. The main bedroom benefits from panoramic outlooks over the Rossendale valley, while the rear garden and patio provide a sheltered outdoor space.
Buyers should note the property’s age (c.1900–1929) and traditional sandstone/limestone walls that are likely uninsulated. The home shows signs of dated decor and will benefit from updating — potential buyers should budget for improvement works such as internal modernisation and possible insulation upgrades. There is only one bathroom and modest overall floor area (approx. 920 sq ft), which is important for larger families to consider.
Overall this is a straightforward, characterful family home in an affluent, low-crime area with good local schools and fast broadband. It will suit buyers seeking a commuter-friendly, private plot with scope to add value through refurbishment.
