A compact two-bedroom end-terrace on Ellenshaw Street, offered for sale by Modern Method of Auction. The property is stone-built (Victorian era) with a corner position that gives a more open outlook to a grassed area to the side. Inside are a spacious lounge, fitted kitchen and a bathroom; recent internal wall insulation was installed under an energy grant to improve thermal performance.
This home is most suited to an investor or a buyer willing to undertake light-to-medium renovation. Recent local rents of around £750+ PCM indicate solid yield potential once cosmetically updated. The layout is modest — total footprint is small (approximately 603 sq ft) — but two bedrooms and gas central heating make it easy to let or occupy.
Buyers should note material points: the sale is by auction (Modern Method) so fees and a non-refundable reservation payment apply; buyers must complete within the reservation period. The property is leasehold, with 835 years remaining. The area is classified as very deprived with above-average crime rates, and there is no clearly defined private rear garden shown — external space appears communal/adjacent.
Overall, this is a practical, budget-priced opportunity for someone targeting rental income or a renovation project in Darwen. Inspect in person to confirm room sizes, condition and any works needed before bidding, and factor auction fees and the reservation charge into purchase costs.
