Summary - 28, Driscoll Street PR1 1UP
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Newly renovated, low-cost terrace near University and transport links..
Affordable two-bedroom terraced freehold under £125,000
A compact two-bedroom mid-terrace offered at a low entry price — attractive for buy-to-let or a first purchase with limited budget. The interior has been newly renovated: a modern gloss kitchen with integrated fittings, a contemporary bathroom suite and neutral décor throughout reduce immediate refurbishment costs. The property is freehold and benefits from fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, positioned close to the University of Preston, transport links and city-centre amenities.
Important practical details are blunt: the house is small (582 sq ft) on a very small plot and was constructed c.1900–1929. Heating is currently by portable electric heaters in most rooms and the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so energy bills and comfort will likely need attention. Double glazing is present but fitted before 2002 and may be less efficient than modern units.
Location offers clear lettings potential given proximity to the university and local amenities, but also real risk factors: the neighbourhood is classified as constrained with very high crime and very high area deprivation. Buyers should assess safety, insurance costs and secure parking/yard options. This property suits investors seeking a low-entry renovation or buyers comfortable with urban living who prioritise price and proximity over space and tranquillity.
