A substantial two-bedroom end-terrace on Essex Street, Colne, combining period character with practical living space. The comfortable lounge and fully fitted kitchen suit everyday family life, while a useful cellar adds storage or scope for conversion. The larger-than-average rear yard and small forecourt extend the living space outdoors.
This home is well suited to first-time buyers or small families seeking an affordable freehold in a convenient town location with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The modern four-piece bathroom and double-glazed windows (install date unknown) provide contemporary comfort alongside original stone façade and traditional features.
Buyers should note this property will be sold by the Modern Method of Auction. The purchase process requires a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600) and completion within 56 days of the draft contract being issued. A Buyer Information Pack is available, but prospective purchasers must carry out their own due diligence.
Practical considerations include a very deprived local area profile and higher local crime levels, but the property benefits from very low council tax and mains gas central heating. The house is older (pre-1900) with stone walls assumed to lack modern cavity insulation, so there is potential for improvement work to enhance energy efficiency and comfort.
