Tidy Victorian terraced house offering practical two-bedroom accommodation in central Padiham. Inside, a contemporary kitchen-diner provides a sociable hub, while a separate utility room adds real everyday convenience. Two double bedrooms upstairs and a modern bathroom mean the property is ready to occupy while still allowing scope for personal improvement.
The stone period facade and original proportions give character, but the home needs some updating — wooden windows and period features will suit buyers who want to refresh rather than move straight in. The layout and yard are low-maintenance, making this a sensible step for first-time buyers or investors seeking straightforward letting potential.
Important practical points are stated plainly: the property is leasehold, the local area scores very high for crime and very deprived on local indices, and the site is in a high flooding-risk zone. These factors affect insurance, security choices, and resale considerations, so factor them into budgeting and mortgage or rental plans.
On balance, this is an affordable entry into Padiham for someone who values location and broadband/mobile connectivity, and who is prepared to carry out modest updates and manage the known site risks. Nearby schools and local amenities are within walking distance, supporting everyday family life or rental demand.
