Summary - ILEX MILL APARTMENT 305 BACUP ROAD RAWTENSTALL ROSSENDALE BB4 7NQ
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Stylish two-bed town-centre flat with parking and character features.
Southwest-facing balcony with access from lounge and both bedrooms
Characteristic exposed brick vaulted ceilings and large windows
Allocated gated parking included — useful in town-centre location
Compact 485 sq ft footprint — best for couples or single households
Long lease (976 years) and modest ground rent (£150) reduce leasehold risk
Heating via electric storage heaters — potentially higher running costs
Very slow broadband reported; may not suit heavy remote workers
Local area: deprived with very high crime — check safety and amenities
This third-floor two-bedroom apartment in Ilex Mill offers distinctive industrial character with vaulted exposed brick ceilings and large windows that flood the open-plan living space with light. The southwest-facing balcony and balcony access from both bedrooms extend the living area outdoors and create a bright, airy feel despite the compact footprint. Allocated gated parking is included, a notable perk in this town-centre setting.
The fitted kitchen comes with integrated appliances and the bathroom has been upgraded, making the property move-in ready for a buyer wanting convenience and style without immediate spend. A very long lease (976 years) and modest ground rent (£150) reduce customary leasehold risks. Chain-free sale helps speed a purchase for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking quick completion.
Be aware of the practical drawbacks. At about 485 sq ft the apartment is small and best suited to a couple, single household or rental use rather than a family needing extensive space. Heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be costly compared with central heating. Broadband speeds are reported very slow, which may be important for remote working. The local area data shows higher deprivation and very high crime levels; buyers should check local safety and amenity considerations.
Overall this apartment suits buyers who value distinctive, low-maintenance town-centre living with secure parking and a very long lease. It offers immediate convenience and character, but prospective purchasers should factor in running costs, limited floor area and local area safety and connectivity issues before viewing.
