Summary - Observatory Road, Blackburn, Lancashire, BB2 BB2 3HE
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Ideal renovation project close to hospital and local amenities for first-time buyers.
Chain-free two-bedroom semi-detached house with driveway and detached garage
This chain-free two-bedroom semi-detached home on Observatory Road is a straightforward first-time buy with strong practical assets. A large through reception room and a very generous main bedroom provide comfortable living space, while a separate kitchen and family bathroom offer clear scope for cosmetic updating. The property sits on a decent plot with a substantial rear garden, detached garage and private driveway — rare conveniences for the area.
The house was built mid-century and retains period character externally, but it requires renovation and modernisation throughout. Key improvements likely include cosmetic refit of kitchen and bathroom, new floor coverings, and potential energy upgrades (walls are cavity-built and assumed uninsulated). EPC rating D is middling; upgrading insulation and heating could both reduce bills and improve value.
Positioned close to the hospital and local amenities, the home suits a first-time buyer or buyer seeking an affordable renovation project with good transport links and strong local schools. It’s offered chain-free, which makes a faster move possible, but tenure is not confirmed and should be checked. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the space and garden potential.
Material facts: EPC D, council tax band B, mains gas central heating, double glazing (install date unknown). No flooding risk recorded. Renovation required — practical project rather than a turnkey purchase.
