Set on the edge of open countryside in Water, this Victorian end-terrace cottage offers clear renovation upside for builders and investors. The property is compact (approximately 461 sq ft) but benefits from double glazing, mains gas central heating and a large, tiered rear garden with direct countryside outlook. The garden is owned freehold by the current owners and enjoys exclusive access.
The house requires a full modernisation throughout; cosmetic and structural updating will be needed to unlock value. A previous planning application (X/2006/371) for a two-storey rear extension lapsed, so there is scope to apply for fresh consent to increase living space subject to local authority approval. Cash or renovation-capable buyers are preferred.
Practical details are investor-friendly: a long lease (999 years from 16/07/1859, approximately 839 years unexpired), nominal ground rent of £2.50, Council Tax Band A and an EPC rating of D. The modest footprint and existing layout include an entrance hall, living room, extended kitchen with cellar access, two first-floor bedrooms and a three-piece bathroom.
Location is a key positive — peaceful semi-rural setting with easy access to Rawtenstall’s amenities, regular bus services and the M66 for commuter links to Manchester. Good local primary schools and plentiful outdoor walking and cycling routes add to the area’s appeal for future occupants once refurbished.
