Situated on popular Gisburn Road in Barrowford, this mid-terrace cottage was formed by combining two traditional cottages into one, creating noticeably more internal space than a standard terrace. Stone-built and retaining cottage character — exposed beams and an inglenook fireplace — it provides a warm, low-maintenance home close to shops, cafés and transport links.
The ground floor offers a cosy lounge and a generous dining kitchen that will suit family meals or entertaining. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a three-piece bathroom that is functional but has clear potential for modernisation. A small cellar and an external store add useful dry storage for household items.
Practical running costs are supported by mains gas central heating, double glazing (fitted post-2002) and a cheap council tax band. The property is freehold and sits in a very affluent, low-crime area with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — attractive for family buyers or investors seeking a centrally located rental.
Important considerations: there is no private garden or outdoor amenity, the plot is very small and the stone walls are likely uninsulated as-built which may affect energy efficiency. The bathroom and some internal areas are dated and would benefit from updating; potential signs of damp are noted in the living room which should be investigated before purchase.
