Entry-level Victorian terraced home for buyers seeking low-price potential and renovation scope.
Freehold two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace, ~657 sq ft
This two-bedroom mid-terrace Victorian house on Laithe Street offers an affordable entry into Burnley’s housing market. The property is freehold, has double glazing (installed post-2002), mains gas central heating and a compact layout of around 657 sq ft — attractive to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors aiming for a low-entry purchase.
Internally the home is functional but dated: one reception room, dining kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom. The sandstone-built exterior retains period character, but internal updating and cosmetic renovation are likely required to modernise finishes and maximise living comfort.
Location strengths include access to several well-rated primary schools nearby, frequent bus services and local leisure amenities. Practical advantages include no flood risk, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband speeds.
Material negatives are clear and should influence viewing decisions: the neighbourhood records high crime and the wider area is very deprived. The plot is very small, room sizes are generally small, and the original stone walls likely lack insulation — further energy-efficiency work may be necessary. Council tax is very cheap, which will help running costs.
