This two-bedroom mid-terrace sits a short walk from Royal Blackburn Hospital and local amenities, making it practical for first-time buyers and investors seeking rental demand. The house offers a spacious lounge, kitchen/diner and a low-maintenance rear yard; the layout and size (approximately 741 sq ft) suit everyday living or a straightforward letting conversion.
The property is a Victorian-built terrace with double glazing (unknown install date) and mains gas central heating. Highlights include a large 15ft master bedroom, on-street parking and a very low Council Tax (Band A). The leasehold has a very long remainder (856 years), removing common short-lease complications.
Buyers should note important negatives: the property is in a deprived area with a very high local crime rate, and the original sandstone/limestone walls are assumed to have no insulation, which may affect energy costs despite an EPC C. Interiors show some dated mid-20th century fittings and may benefit from cosmetic updating or targeted improvements.
Overall this terrace represents an affordable entry point to the local market with clear rental and owner-occupier appeal due to location and size. It is best suited to buyers prepared to accept local area challenges and to invest modestly in modernisation or energy-efficiency upgrades.
