A traditional two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace on Gillibrand Street, offered for sale by auction and suited to buyers seeking renovation or a rental opportunity. The property sits within walking distance of Chorley town centre and local schools, with quick access to the M6, M61 and M65. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and the long lease (circa 866 years) removes typical short-lease concerns.
Internally the layout is conventional for the era: vestibule, two reception rooms, two bedrooms, study and a three-piece bathroom across approximately 742 sq ft. The house requires modernisation throughout — cosmetic updating, likely kitchen and bathroom replacement and general redecoration are needed to bring the property up to modern standards. A small front garden and a paved rear yard provide minimal outdoor space.
This property is best suited to an investor or an owner-occupier comfortable with a renovation project. The area is classed as deprived and crime levels are high, which should be considered when assessing rental levels or resale prospects. Conversely, demand for terraces in this part of Chorley and proximity to amenities and transport links support lettings and incremental value uplift after refurbishment.
Important sale terms: the property will be sold at auction via the Modern Method of Auction. Buyers should allow for a non-refundable Reservation Fee of 4.5% of the purchase price (minimum £6,600 including VAT), a £300 fee for the buyer information pack, and a 56-day completion period. Prospective purchasers must complete their own due diligence and be prepared for auction-specific costs and processes.
