A spacious, well-presented end-terrace with three bedrooms arranged over three floors — an attractive entry-level purchase in Rawtenstall. The house retains a Victorian stone facade and benefits from a loft conversion (bedroom three) that adds flexible living space. The open-plan kitchen/diner and a generous reception room give usable family space, while an enclosed low-maintenance rear yard suits busy households. Broadband is fast and mobile signal is excellent, helpful for home working.
Practical positives include mains gas central heating, double glazing and a footprint of about 1,045 sq ft offering more space than many three-bed terraces. The location is convenient for town amenities, bus routes and several well-rated local primary schools, and there are direct links to Manchester, Bury and Burnley for commuters. At £150,000 this property represents good value for a sizable three-bed home in BB4.
Important considerations: the property is leasehold, has an EPC rating of E, and the stone walls were built without modern cavity insulation (assumed). Council Tax is Band A (very cheap), and parking is on-street only. The wider area is relatively deprived, which may affect resale timing and tenant demand for investors. The single bathroom serves three bedrooms and some buyers may want to update thermal performance and energy efficiency over time.
This home will suit a first-time buyer or young family seeking space at a sensible price, or an investor looking for a mid-market let close to transport and schools. It is well-presented now but offers sensible scope for energy upgrades and minor modernisation to raise comfort and value.
