This garden-fronted mid-terrace is offered specifically to investors and is sold with a tenant in situ, providing immediate rental income and minimal void risk. The house dates from the early 20th century and retains a traditional stone facade, two reception rooms and two bedrooms across an average-sized footprint of about 872 sq ft.
Practical positives include double glazing, mains gas central heating, an enclosed rear yard and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal — useful for modern tenants. The property’s proximity to Burnley town centre, local schools and the M65 makes it straightforward to let to commuters, families and local workers.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold property in a very deprived area with high local crime levels; these factors will influence long-term capital growth and insurance costs. The building’s stone walls are assumed to lack insulation and some updating may be required internally — the property is best suited to investors prepared to carry refurbishment and ongoing maintenance.
Financially, the low council tax and rental demand in the area can support yield-focused investors, but budget conservatively for remedial works, possible energy-efficiency improvements and routine management. The current EPC rating is D.
