Affordable starter property near parks, shops and frequent bus links.
Chain-free Victorian mid-terrace with period stone front
A compact Victorian mid-terrace close to Burnley town centre, offered chain-free and ready for a new owner's improvements. The house provides two double bedrooms and well-proportioned reception and kitchen-diner spaces, suitable for a first home or buy-to-let starter. Its 776 sq ft layout gives clear scope to update fixtures and finishes to modern standards while retaining period character such as the stone front and sash-style window.
Practical strengths include mains gas central heating, double glazing (install date unknown) and excellent mobile and fast broadband—useful for remote working or renting. Small front and rear yards are low-maintenance and provide outdoor space typical of inner-urban terraces. Local amenities, parks and public transport are within easy reach, and council tax is very low.
Notable drawbacks are the property's age and likely need for cosmetic refurbishment; walls are traditional stone with no known insulation and internal photos indicate dated fittings and carpets. The area is classified as very deprived with above-average crime rates, which may affect resale values and rental yields. The property is leasehold, so purchasers should confirm lease length and any service charges prior to exchange.
An internal inspection is recommended to confirm condition, services and exact layout. For buyers seeking an affordable entry to Burnley—either to create a comfortable starter home or to renovate for rental income—this terrace represents clear potential, provided you allow budget for updating and factor local area considerations into your plans.
