Summary - 12 PRESTON STREET DARWEN BB3 1EL
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Compact two-bed renovation project ideal for investors seeking strong upside.
Chain-free mid-terrace Victorian stone property
A chain-free mid-terraced Victorian property offered at an attractive price for investors or hands-on buyers. The stone façade and bay window hint at period character, while the 786 sq ft layout includes two reception rooms and an open-plan dining kitchen ready for modernisation. With mains gas heating, double glazing and excellent mobile/fast broadband, the basics are in place for an efficient rental or resale conversion.
This home requires renovation throughout, providing scope to add value with updated finishes, a new kitchen and bathroom, and improved insulation (stone walls currently assumed uninsulated). Note material factors: the property is leasehold, sits in a very deprived area with above-average crime, and has a medium flood risk — all important when planning refurbishment budgets and tenancy screening.
Location strengths include short walks to Darwen town centre, local bus routes and several nearby schools rated Good. The property’s low council tax and chain-free status support a quick purchase or rental turnaround. For investors this is a value-add opportunity; for first-time buyers it’s an inexpensive entry point if you can manage renovation and the local risks.
