Summary - 42 Highcroft Avenue, Bispham FY2 0BJ
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Starter home with garden, garage and scope to modernise.
Chain-free three-bedroom semi-detached house
Set on a quiet residential road, this three-bedroom semi-detached house offers a straightforward, chain-free purchase for a growing family or investor. The layout includes an open-plan living and dining area, a compact kitchen with direct garden access, and three bedrooms above. A detached garage and driveway provide practical parking; an enclosed rear garden offers outdoor space and scope for landscaping.
The home is structurally typical of its 1950s build with double glazing and gas central heating. A full rewire (excluding the garage) was completed on 20/06/2025 and carries a 12-month guarantee, reducing a major safety concern. The property is modest in overall size (approximately 62 sqm / 667 sq ft) and sits on a small plot, so buyers should expect limited expansion possibilities without planning consent.
Immediate shortcomings are factual: the kitchen is dated (1970s cabinetry and lower ceilings) and will need modernisation; there is only one family bathroom; and local crime levels are high, which may influence buyer priorities. EPC rating is D and council tax band is low, which helps running costs.
This house suits first-time buyers wanting to personalise a starter home, or investors seeking a manageable refurbishment project in a comfortable neighbourhood near well-rated primary schools and local amenities. Its clean wiring, parking and garage are practical advantages that reduce near-term expenditure and simplify occupancy or letting.
