A well-presented two-bedroom stone terrace in central Rawtenstall, offered chain-free and ready to move into. The house has been recently refurbished with neutral décor, new flooring, double glazing and a two-year-old combi boiler, making it a straightforward purchase for first-time buyers, downsizers or buy-to-let investors. The living room’s high ceiling and bay window retain period character while delivering comfortable, practical space.
The ground floor flows from a useful entrance vestibule into a bright lounge and modern fitted kitchen with integrated oven and gas hob. Upstairs offers a large master bedroom with built-in storage, a good-sized second bedroom and a fully tiled bathroom with shower over bath. There is loft access and scope to improve storage or conversion subject to consent.
Outside there is a low-maintenance rear courtyard with artificial lawn and a shed, plus a small front courtyard. The freehold tenure, low council tax (Band A) and strong commuter links (Rawtenstall bus services, M66/M65 nearby) are practical cost and location strengths. Local schools are highly regarded and the town-centre amenities are within easy walking distance.
Notable negatives: the property sits in an area of relative deprivation and the plot is small. The building is an early 20th-century stone terrace with assumed original solid walls (no added wall insulation stated). While newly renovated internally, external maintenance or further insulation works may be needed to improve thermal efficiency and long-term running costs.
