This small two-bedroom semi-detached house on Lisbon Drive offers a practical, freehold purchase with off-street parking and a surprisingly large rear garden. The tidy exterior and double glazing suggest low immediate maintenance, and an EPC rating of C indicates reasonable efficiency for its age. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, supporting home working or streaming.
The layout is conventional — ground-floor living and kitchen with two first-floor bedrooms — making it straightforward for first-time buyers or landlords seeking a low-upkeep let. The property’s plot is modest but benefits from a driveway and private outdoor space that’s rare at this price point. Nearby primary schools are rated Good, and local bus links provide basic connectivity into Burnley town centre.
Notable negatives are factual and important: area-level indicators show very high crime and very high deprivation, and the property footprint is small at about 584 sq ft. Heating information is inconsistent on record (gas stated elsewhere; main heating logged as electric storage heaters), so buyers should verify the heating system and running costs. A prominent converted mill/industrial building close by affects outlook and character for some buyers.
Overall this home is suitable for buyer types seeking an affordable, freehold entry into the area — particularly first-time buyers or investors prepared to accept the neighbourhood trade-offs. Costs and safety considerations should be checked in person, and any buyer should confirm heating type, service history, and local management arrangements before committing.
