Three-bed auction lot with renovation upside near transport links.
Freehold Victorian end-terrace, approx. 1,055 sq ft
A three-bedroom end-of-terrace Victorian house in Blackburn offered at auction with strong renovation upside. The property is freehold, arranged over two storeys and extends to about 1,055 sq ft, making it a practical size for a family home or buy-to-let conversion. Double glazing and mains gas central heating are already in place, reducing immediate mechanical works.
The house requires updating throughout and will suit a buyer comfortable with a refurbishment project. The small rear yard offers scope for modest outdoor improvement, and the period brick exterior retains character that can be enhanced during renovation. Local transport links and fast broadband make the location accessible for commuters and tenants.
Buyers should note material negatives plainly: the area is very deprived with above-average crime levels, the local neighbourhood is classed as constrained renters, and the property will be sold at auction — all factors that affect financing and occupancy risk. There is no flood risk recorded, and the build dates to the 1930s–1940s with cavity walls.
This lot is most suitable for experienced investors, developers or owner-occupiers seeking a project who can carry out improvements and manage lettings or resale. Interested parties should instruct their own surveyor and solicitor and allow for refurbishment costs, potential voids, and auction purchase timelines.
