Summary - 5 MELBOURNE STREET WATERFOOT ROSSENDALE BB4 9AU
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Characterful starter home with flexible living, south patio, and nearby park.
Three-storey Victorian stone terrace with flexible 2–3 bedroom layout
This well-presented Victorian stone terrace spreads over three floors and offers flexible living for a first-time buyer or small family. The ground floor features a modern rustic kitchen that leads into a spacious lounge, while the lower-ground level provides a versatile room with a log burner plus utility and external access to a low-maintenance rear yard. Two good-sized bedrooms and a roomy family bathroom occupy the first floor, with added loft storage accessed from the second bedroom.
Practical daily living is supported by mains gas central heating, double glazing, fast broadband and a south-facing patio that captures daylight at the rear. The property sits on a quiet cul-de-sac with pleasant open aspects front and rear and a park at the road end — handy for outdoor time and local errands. Local primary schools rated Good and an Outstanding school nearby make this convenient for young families.
Market strengths include renovation potential to increase value, deceptively generous room sizes for the footprint (882 sq ft) and freehold tenure. Drawbacks to note: the mid-terrace stone walls are likely uninsulated, the small rear yard offers limited outdoor space, and parking is on-street only. The wider area shows signs of deprivation which may affect long-term resale and investment yields for some buyers.
Overall, this is a practical, characterful home ready to move into with scope to modernise further. It suits buyers seeking a well-located starter home with flexible space, or investors looking for a lettable property in a connected town location.
