A substantial mid-terraced Victorian house priced for a value-focused investor or hands-on buyer. The property spans about 915 sq ft and includes two bedrooms, a reception room, dining kitchen, utility room and an extra converted loft space — offering flexible rental or resale layouts once modernised. Its stone façade and double glazing retain period character while internal improvement will unlock better returns.
Location is a clear asset: the house sits within walking distance of Darwen train station and close to the town centre, shops and local schools. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, which helps attract tenants or buyers who need reliable connectivity. The compact, low-maintenance rear yard suits tenants who prefer minimal upkeep.
Important practical points are upfront. The property needs renovation throughout and internal walls are likely uninsulated (as-built granite/whinstone). Crime levels in the area are above average and the neighbourhood is classed as very deprived — factors that may affect rental income and valuation. The loft conversion exists but any purchasers should check planning and building-regulation status.
At £79,995 (freehold) this presents a clear project for experienced landlords or investor-developers able to manage refurbishment and tenant sourcing. The home could deliver strong uplift post-renovation given its size, connectivity and period appeal, but buyers should budget for works and verify consents and safety systems before completion.
