A stone-built mid-terrace with two double bedrooms and two reception rooms, offered chain-free and ready for a full refurbishment. The property totals about 863 sq ft and sits within easy walking distance of Great Harwood town centre, local shops and transport links, making it practical for rental or resale after improvement.
This is a straightforward project for an investor or hands-on buyer seeking value: original Victorian features remain visible but many elements require updating. The property is leasehold, has double glazing (install date unknown), mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, and an EPC rating of D. There is no flood risk recorded.
Important practical points: the house needs renovation throughout, the external stone walls are likely uninsulated, and the area records high crime rates with very high local deprivation. These factors affect both living conditions and lettability; budget for refurbishment, possible insulation and security measures, and check leasehold terms carefully before purchase.
Offered at a low asking price with no onward chain, the house represents a clear investment/refurbishment opportunity for someone prepared to carry out works and manage short-term area risks. Proximity to good local primary and secondary schools and fast broadband/mobile signal are useful advantages for future tenants or resale buyers.
