This three-bedroom end-of-terrace on Matthew Street offers straightforward, affordable accommodation with clear potential. The property is freehold, arranged over two floors with two reception rooms, a functional kitchen and a low-maintenance rear yard — a practical layout for first-time buyers or landlords targeting the rental market.
Period features include a welcoming fireplace and traditional hallway, giving the house character, though parts of the exterior and interior need attention. The façade and some internal areas require refurbishment and redecorating; the hallway has signs of damp and narrow circulation. Double glazing is fitted, but installation date is unknown.
Location is a strong selling point: a short walk to Blackburn town centre, good public transport links, and local amenities including schools and shops. Council tax is very cheap and mains gas central heating serves the home. Note the area has higher-than-average crime levels and is classed as very deprived, factors to consider for occupiers or investors researching rental demand and insurance costs.
For buyers prepared to invest in cosmetic updating, this house represents value — either as an affordable family home close to services or as an investment with rental potential. The small garden and compact plot keep maintenance low, while the layout allows relatively simple reconfiguration or upgrades to increase appeal and income prospects.
