This newly renovated two-bedroom mid-terrace in Burnley combines period character with modern finishes across approximately 819 sq ft. The Victorian stone exterior and small elevated front garden give a traditional street presence, while interior upgrades — including a modern kitchen, double glazing and a new boiler with radiators — make the home move-in ready for a first-time buyer or landlord looking for a straightforward rental.
The property is compact but well laid out across two floors, with a bright bathroom (windowed) and a contemporary kitchen needing only minor finishing touches. Leasehold with a long remaining term (857 years) and low council tax keep ongoing costs predictable. Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband add strong appeal for commuters and renting professionals.
Buyers should note the location sits in a high-crime, very deprived area; purchasers will want to consider personal safety and rental demand implications. The stone walls are likely uninsulated and the house is of pre-1900 construction, so buyers should budget for any future energy-efficiency improvements despite recent refurbishments. No flood risk is recorded.
Overall, this property presents good value at the asking price for first-time owners seeking a ready-to-live-in home or investors wanting a low-entry rental in Burnley. Its modernised interior and long lease offer an attractive starting point; realistic expectations about neighbourhood challenges and potential insulation upgrades will help buyers decide if it matches their needs.
