This substantial Victorian end-terrace offers generous room sizes and classic period character across an unusually large 1,363 sq ft layout. High ceilings, bay windows and decorative cornices give the principal reception rooms a bright, airy feel, while the dual-aspect multi-fuel stove provides a focal point and efficient secondary heating. Two spacious double bedrooms upstairs are supplemented by an attic room that could serve as a third bedroom, home office or storage, giving flexible space for growing households.
Practical strengths include mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, double glazing (installation date unknown), and excellent mobile signal. The property sits on a quiet street close to a range of local schools and amenities in Darwen, and is competitively priced at £150,000 for buyers seeking space and period detail to update to their taste.
Notable drawbacks are factual and should influence viewing decisions: the home is leasehold (terms unknown), the exterior shows signs of weathering and will need work, and images indicate potential damp that requires inspection. Walls are original sandstone/limestone and assumed uninsulated, so buyers should expect upgrade and insulation costs. EPC is TBC and broadband speeds are average. The area is classed as deprived, which may affect resale and mortgage availability for some purchasers.
This is a strong opportunity for buyers who value scale and character and are prepared to invest in refurbishment. It will particularly suit families or first-time buyers looking for space, or investors targeting renovation-led uplift, provided they carry out the necessary checks on lease terms, damp, insulation and EPC rating.
