This Victorian mid-terrace offers an affordable entry point into Chorley with two bedrooms, high ceilings and bay-window character. The layout is traditional: a bright front reception, a rear kitchen-diner and two first-floor bedrooms with a three-piece bathroom. At about 653 sq.ft the footprint is modest but well proportioned for first-time buyers or landlords seeking a rental opportunity.
The property requires renovation and modernisation—cosmetic works, possible insulation upgrades and general updating are needed. Construction details include cavity brick walls (assumed uninsulated), double glazing of unknown age and gas central heating via boiler and radiators. EPC rating C indicates reasonable energy performance but further improvements could lower running costs.
Location is a major selling point: walking distance to Chorley town centre, nearby primary and secondary schools, regular rail links to Manchester and Preston, and easy access to the M6/M61. On-street parking, a small gated front garden and a gravelled rear yard provide low-maintenance outdoor space.
Buyers should note material negatives plainly: the neighbourhood records very high crime and the wider area is classified as very deprived, which may affect resale and lettings. The plot and garden are small, and the property is sold freehold but needs renovation work. This is a straightforward value-add proposition for a buyer prepared to invest time and money into improvements.
