This two-bedroom mid-terrace offers an affordable entry to Blackpool property ownership or an investor refurbishment project. At about 775 sq ft across four main rooms, the house has a living room, open-plan kitchen-diner, family bathroom and modest front and rear gardens. The property is freehold and benefits from mains gas central heating and double glazing (install date unknown).
The home needs renovation throughout — cosmetic and likely modernisation works are required to bring it up to contemporary standards. The build dates from 1930–1949 with cavity walls and external insulation, presenting straightforward scope for updating kitchens, bathrooms and finishes. The small plot limits large extensions but keeps running costs lower; council tax is very cheap.
Location gives mixed advantages: fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit remote working, and several nearby primary and secondary schools have Good or improving Ofsted ratings. Local amenities are basic but convenient — shops, takeaways and local services are within easy reach.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the neighbourhood records high crime and sits in a very deprived area, which may affect resale times and tenant demand. The house is sold as a renovation project, so buyers should budget for works and factor in local market conditions. There is no flood risk recorded.
For first-time buyers wanting a low-cost starter with long-term potential, or investors seeking a value-add refurbishment in Blackpool, this property offers a clear, affordable project with manageable structural characteristics.
