This two-bedroom mid-terraced Victorian house on Harwood Road offers straightforward, affordable entry to Rishton’s housing market. Set over 883 sqft, the property keeps period stone character outside while providing practical living space inside: two reception rooms, a compact fitted kitchen and a low-maintenance paved rear yard with an outbuilding.
The layout suits first-time buyers or landlords looking for a tidy buy-to-let: bright front reception, rear doors to the garden, and two well-proportioned bedrooms upstairs. Local schools, shops and bus links are within easy reach and the M65 corridor is convenient for commuters, which supports rental demand.
Be clear about the trade-offs. The house sits in an area with elevated crime and high deprivation indicators, so buyers should factor in potential neighbourhood-related issues. Internally the accommodation is serviceable but dated in places and would benefit from cosmetic updating to maximise comfort or rental income.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, double glazing, gas central heating and very low council tax costs. For someone prepared to invest modestly in modernisation, this property offers a competitively priced route into the area or a straightforward addition to a rental portfolio.
