Two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace, approx. 728 sq ft
A two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace offered freehold and vacant for sale by online auction on 10th September 2025. The property has mains gas central heating, UPVC double glazing and standard ceiling heights, but requires updating and some repairs. Tenants-ready rents in the area are typically around £750–£800 pcm, giving clear investor appeal once refurbished.
Set on a small plot close to Darwen town centre, the house sits in a popular residential area with good transport links and local amenities within walking distance. Constructed before 1900 from sandstone/limestone (assumed uninsulated), the home retains period character but will benefit from thermal and cosmetic improvements to reach modern standards.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the property is in a very deprived area with above-average crime rates, requires renovation throughout, and will be sold ‘as seen’ with vacant possession. There is scope for capital growth—nearby comparables have recently sold in excess of £130,000—but refurbishment costs and the local social profile are important considerations for owner-occupiers and investors alike.
