Summary - Alker Street, Chorley, PR7 PR7 2DA
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Private rear courtyard, gas central heating and walking-distance transport links.
Two double bedrooms with high ceilings and period cornicing
This mid-terraced two-bedroom house sits a short walk from Chorley town centre, offering easy access to shops, buses and the train station — useful for first-time buyers and commuters. The ground floor has two reception rooms and a kitchen-diner with high-gloss units and good natural light; a cosy log burner adds character to the living room. Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a neat three-piece bathroom. A private gated courtyard with decking provides outdoor space and rear access.
Practical running costs are reasonable: mains gas boiler and radiators, double glazing, an EPC C and very low council tax make the property affordable to heat and maintain. The house dates from the early 20th century and retains period features such as high ceilings and cornicing. Several well-rated primary and secondary schools are within easy reach, which may suit buyers with young children.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold property in an area classed as deprived with higher-than-average local crime rates; on-street parking only. The cavity walls are assumed to have no insulation and the glazing install date is unknown, so further insulation or upgrades could be beneficial. While generally well presented, the home may suit purchasers looking to add value through modest improvement rather than those seeking a completely turn-key, high-end finish.
Overall this is a competitively priced entry-level home with good commuter links, outdoor space and comfortable living areas — ideal for a first purchase or buy-to-let investor prepared to accept local area considerations.
