Affordable two-bed terrace—good broadband and long lease; needs some updating.
Stone-built Victorian mid-terrace, 678 sq ft, two bedrooms
A traditional stone-built Victorian mid-terrace offering two bedrooms and practical living across two floors. At 678 sq ft, the layout suits first-time buyers seeking an affordable starter home or investors targeting rented terraces in Padiham. The house has gas central heating, UPVC double glazing and an EPC rating of C.
The property is sold leasehold (long lease remaining ~879 years) and currently offered with tenant in situ or vacant possession, giving flexibility for owner-occupiers or landlords. The rear enclosed yard provides private outdoor space and street parking is typical for the area.
Buyers should note the location sits in a very deprived area with above-average crime rates, and the terrace was built c.1900–1929 with stone walls likely uninsulated. Interior rooms are small-to-average and the finish is basic — there is clear scope for cosmetic upgrades and potential energy-efficiency improvements.
Practical positives include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and very low council tax (Band A). For investors the low purchase price and rental demand in the area could offer a hands-on return after refurbishment; for first-time buyers it’s a low-cost entry with manageable running costs but likely requires some updating.
