Set on a generous corner plot in Great Harwood, this chain-free three-bedroom semi-detached house offers spacious family accommodation and clear scope to add value. The property includes a large side garden and potential to create off-street parking or extend to the side, subject to planning consent. Double glazing and gas central heating are fitted throughout.
Internally the layout provides a main reception room, additional rear living space, dining area with conservatory and a long galley kitchen. Upstairs are three well-proportioned bedrooms, a separate WC and a two-piece bathroom. The overall size is average at about 1,102 sq ft and the accommodation suits families or first-time buyers seeking a practical long-term home.
The house dates from the 1930s–1940s and presents in basic, mostly serviceable condition; many fixtures and finishes would benefit from updating to modern standards. The cavity walls are as-built with no known insulation, which may affect running costs until improved. EPC band D is noted.
Location is a strong practical advantage: nearby good-rated primary and secondary schools, local shops, playground and regular bus links, plus fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The surrounding area shows pockets of deprivation, and local crime is average; buyers should weigh community and investment considerations. Council tax costs are very low, which helps ongoing affordability.
