Step into a deceptively spacious Victorian terraced home offering two reception rooms, an extended fitted kitchen and a modern shower room. The layout works well for a first-time buyer wanting separate living and dining areas, or an investor seeking a straightforward rental property with immediate appeal.
The property sits on a long lease (999 years from 1889) with a nominal ground rent of £18.16 per annum and very low council tax (Band A). Accommodation totals approximately 872 sq ft across two floors, with two well-proportioned bedrooms and a handy over-stairs storage area. A private rear yard provides a low-maintenance outdoor space.
Be clear about the context: the house is in a very deprived, high-crime area of Padiham within a row of blue-collar terraces and local services are mixed. Nearby schools have varied Ofsted ratings. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and there is good access to local transport links.
This is a pragmatic purchase: affordable price, long lease and modest running costs make it attractive for first-time buyers wanting to add value or investors seeking a low-entry buy-to-let. Buyers prioritising low-crime, higher-amenity neighbourhoods should note the area’s challenges and view accordingly.
