This two-bedroom end-terrace Victorian house on Acregate Lane offers a solid, affordable entry into Preston’s PR1 postcode. With high ceilings, period brick exterior and a detached garage, the property combines character with practical parking—rare at this price point. The home is freehold and has mains gas central heating and fast broadband, making it ready for everyday living.
Situated close to multiple primary and secondary schools, local shops and public transport, the location suits first-time buyers, small families and buy-to-let investors seeking strong rental demand. The wider area is ethnically diverse and well connected to the city centre and leisure facilities. Council tax is very low, helping monthly outgoings.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the area records high crime and very high deprivation indicators, the plot is small, and the property will likely benefit from updating in places to modern standards. Glazing details are not fully defined and some period maintenance may be required given the early 20th-century build. These factors affect resale and insurance costs but also create scope for value-adding refurbishment.
Overall, this is a competitively priced period home with clear potential for improvement. It suits buyers who prioritise location and long-term value uplift over turnkey finish, and investors attracted to rental demand and low council tax running costs.
