This four-bedroom end-terrace on Devonshire Road offers a straightforward, chain-free purchase in central Blackpool. The house is freehold, offers off-street parking, two reception rooms and a single bathroom across about 1,013 sq ft — practical layout for rental or owner-occupation. A 360° virtual tour is available for a closer look before viewing.
For investors, the property sits in a neighbourhood characterised by constrained rental demand and transitional Eastern European communities, which can support consistent lettings but may limit capital growth. The house’s period features — bay windows, high ceilings and some renovated flooring — give character and scope for value-adding cosmetic upgrades or a more substantial refurbishment to boost income and appeal.
Be realistic about material downsides: this is a small plot in a very deprived area with very high local crime levels. There is only one bathroom and room sizes are mixed, so consider layouts and security improvements when budgeting. Council tax is low and broadband/mobile connectivity are good, which help tenant attraction.
If you’re seeking a low-entry freehold in Blackpool with immediate rental potential or a straightforward renovation project, this property is worth a closer look. Buyers seeking a quiet, high-appreciation family neighbourhood should note the local social and safety challenges before proceeding.
