A ready-made buy-to-let in Darwen, this larger-than-average Victorian end-terrace is sold with tenants in situ, providing immediate rental income. Set on Everton Street close to Sunnyhurst Woods, Darwen Tower and local amenities, the location appeals to renters seeking green space and town-centre convenience. The property measures around 840 sqft and offers two double bedrooms and a single family bathroom.
Inside, the layout is practical for long-term letting: a spacious lounge, large kitchen-diner and a separate utility room with rear-yard access. The home benefits from gas central heating and double glazing fitted after 2002, while the gravelled yard keeps outdoor maintenance low. Council tax is very cheap (Band A), supporting lower running costs for tenants.
Considerations for investors: construction likely dates from 1900–1929 with original sandstone/limestone walls that are assumed uninsulated—upgrades could improve energy efficiency and long-term appeal. The area is classified as very deprived and local crime levels are above average; these factors can influence tenant demand and rental yields. There is inconsistent tenure information (listed both as leasehold and freehold), so confirm legal status before purchase.
Overall, this property suits landlords after a straightforward, let-ready addition to their portfolio, with scope for value uplift through targeted improvements to insulation and cosmetic updating. Its strong location and existing tenancy make it competitive at the asking price of £97,500, but factor in area challenges and potential retrofit costs when assessing returns.
