This mid-20th-century terraced house on Queens Drive, Longridge, offers clear renovation potential for a family or first-time buyer prepared to improve a property. Set over two storeys with three bedrooms, the home includes front and rear gardens and benefits from freehold tenure and no flood risk. Broadband is fast and mobile signal excellent, making the house practical for modern living once updated.
The interior is dated and in need of refurbishment: carpets, fixtures and finishes are original mid-century and the layout is compact. There is one bathroom (shower room) and space to reconfigure living areas if desired. The property’s small plot and pebble-dash exterior are typical of the area and present straightforward improvement possibilities, including potential for better energy efficiency (roof orientation suitable for solar) and cosmetic remodelling.
Location is a strength: local primary schools with Good Ofsted ratings are nearby, a bus stop is a short walk away and local amenities include shops, supermarkets and healthcare facilities. Council tax is very low, which helps running costs. Be mindful that the wider area is classified as deprived with above-average crime; this is a material consideration for buyers and may affect resale and rental prospects.
Overall this is a practical, budget-friendly opportunity to create value through improvement. It suits a buyer looking for a project to personalise a home in a small-town setting, or an investor willing to carry out refurbishment. Important negatives are the renovation requirement, limited outdoor plot size, single bathroom and the local crime profile — all facts to weigh against the property’s low asking price and convenient location.
