This compact two-bedroom mid-terrace offers an accessible route onto the property ladder or a straightforward rental investment. The principal reception room benefits from a large front window, and the ground-floor kitchen/diner provides practical workspace and room for a table. The footprint is efficient across two floors, with a low-maintenance rear yard rather than a large garden.
The house is presented for sale with no onward chain and sits close to Burnley General Hospital and local amenities, including shops and good transport links. The long lease (861 years remaining) removes typical leasehold timing concerns. Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators; the current EPC is C, and council tax band is A (low running costs).
Visible features point to a Victorian sandstone-built terrace with period character but limited wall insulation. The property requires standard modernisation and some maintenance rather than major structural work, making it suitable for someone seeking value-add improvements. Room sizes and the garden are small to average, so buyers should expect compact living rather than spacious accommodation.
Location factors to accept: local area is very deprived and recorded crime levels are above average; purchasers should consider local social conditions when assessing suitability for family occupation or lettings. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, which supports home-working or tenant demand.
Overall this is a budget-priced, practical two-bedroom terrace with rental or first-home potential for buyers prepared to carry out modest updating and to accept a smaller urban garden and compact rooms.
