Affordable freehold starter or buy-to-let near Darwen train station.
Freehold mid-terraced Victorian property with small forecourt garden
A compact Victorian terraced house on Richmond Terrace offering straightforward accommodation across two floors. The property is freehold, sold with no onward chain and occupies a small garden-fronted plot — practical for a first step on the ladder or a lettings purchase. Its location is a short walk from Darwen train station with a typical commute to Manchester of around 45 minutes.
Interiors are modest in scale with two bedrooms, a ground-floor lounge, kitchen and bathroom. The kitchen shows mid-20th century fittings and the house would benefit from cleaning and light-modernisation to maximise comfort or rental value. There is potential to improve finishes and layout to increase long-term appeal and rental yields.
Important considerations: the neighbourhood records higher crime levels and the wider area scores as very deprived, which will influence resale and tenant demand. On the positive side the property has excellent mobile signal, fast broadband and very low council tax costs. For buyers seeking a low-entry, manageable freehold investment or affordable first home, this offers clear value with known upkeep and area factors to weigh.
