A ready-made investment in a converted former bank, this split-level two-bedroom flat delivers an advertised 8% yield with a reliable sitting tenant in place. Finished to a high specification during conversion, the living space is open-plan with an integrated kitchen and good natural light from large windows. The property is freehold and sits on upper floors, arranged over two levels with bedrooms and the shower room on the upper level.
Positioned in the centre of Barnoldswick, the apartment benefits from immediate access to local amenities, shops, transport links and several good primary schools nearby. Constructed post-2012 and fitted with modern double glazing, the building presents a mix of period character externally and contemporary fittings internally. There is no flood risk and council tax is very low.
Investors should note practical details: heating runs from electric-boiler/radiators and broadband speeds in the area are reported slow, which may affect tenant appeal for heavy remote workers. The split-level layout and upper-floor location mean the property is not ideal for limited mobility tenants. The wider area records above-average crime and higher deprivation measures, so factor local rental demand accordingly.
Overall this is an income-producing, low-management freehold asset for a landlord seeking immediate yield and central location. It suits buyers targeting stable rental returns rather than homeowners needing single-level, high-speed connectivity or lower-crime neighbourhoods.
