This three-bedroom semi-detached home on Barnes Avenue offers a rare south-facing garden and off-road parking in a well-connected Rawtenstall location. The house is chain-free and freehold, making it straightforward for a first-time buyer to secure. Internally the layout includes a large lounge with patio doors, an open-plan kitchen dining room, and a practical shower room on the first floor.
The property is modest in size (approximately 726 sq ft) and was built mid-20th century with traditional stone walls. It already has a modern combination boiler and double glazing, but much of the interior requires updating and modernisation to raise comfort and energy performance. The walls are likely uninsulated (as built), and the EPC is currently TBC — buyers should factor in insulation and retrofit costs.
Location is a genuine strength: you’re between Whitaker Park and the town centre, with popular primary schools within walking distance and easy access to local countryside walks. The decent plot and large south-facing lawn provide scope to create a sunny family garden or even extend subject to consents. Practical details: single shower room, private driveway for two cars, and a quiet residential street.
Honest drawbacks: the house needs renovation and upgrading, and the wider area records above-average crime levels. This is a good-value starter or small-family home for someone prepared to invest time and budget into improvement work to unlock the property’s full potential.
