A traditional stone-fronted Victorian mid-terrace in Darwen city centre, offered as a clear renovation project for cash buyers. The compact two-bedroom layout includes a spacious lounge, basic kitchen with basement access, and a first-floor bathroom — all requiring updating. The property has original sash features alongside PVC double glazing and a gas boiler (not tested).
This house is best suited to an investor or experienced DIY buyer looking to add value through refurbishment. Its central position puts shops, the railway station and local amenities within walking distance, supporting strong rental or resale potential after modernisation. Permit parking to the front and an enclosed rear yard add practical benefits for tenants.
Important negatives are candid: the property has suffered neglect and needs full updating throughout. The neighbourhood records very high crime and high area deprivation, so factor in management or security measures for rental use. The sale is strictly cash buyers only; all services, fixtures and fittings should be independently verified.
Leasehold details are straightforward — an assumed 999-year lease with a nominal ground rent of approximately £1.50 per year — but buyers should confirm with their solicitor. For those able to invest now, the combination of low purchase price and central location provides a clear route to uplift post-refurbishment.
