This compact mid-terraced Victorian home on Shorrock Lane is offered chain-free and freehold — a straightforward purchase for first-time buyers or investors. At about 811 sq ft the layout includes two reception rooms, a modern kitchen and three bedrooms, making efficient use of limited space.
Practical positives include mains gas central heating, double glazing (installed 2002 onwards), low council tax (Band A) and excellent mobile/broadband connectivity. The property sits within walking distance of local shops, pubs and good bus/rail links, supporting commuter or rental demand.
Buyers should note the house sits in a very deprived area with above-average crime statistics and a small rear yard and plot. Cosmetic and modernization work is needed in places (fireplace, some window/ceiling repairs) and room sizes are small — this is a budget property with potential rather than a ready-made family home.
For investors the chain-free status and low running costs make it simple to let after refurbishment. For first-time buyers it represents an affordable entry into Blackburn with scope to add value through targeted improvements.
