A substantial Victorian end-of-terrace in Helmshore, offered freehold via online auction. The house retains period stone frontage, two double bedrooms and generous reception rooms; its lower-ground cellars provide clear scope for conversion into additional living space or a separate unit, subject to consents. The rear is enclosed and not overlooked, and the property sits in a very affluent, low-crime area with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
The interior is a blank canvas and requires full renovation: the kitchenette is dated mid-century and the general condition needs modernization throughout. Buyers should factor refurbishment costs and planned works when assessing value. Searches have been ordered and further due diligence is strongly recommended before bidding.
Auction terms are strict: unconditional sale with completion targeted within 28 days. There is a buyer’s premium of £5,000 (inc. VAT) payable on completion of the auction, and the reserve price is higher than the published starting price of £115,000. These additional costs and timescales are material and should influence bidding decisions.
For an investor or experienced renovator this property offers upside through careful refurbishment and potential cellar conversion. For owner-occupiers prepared to manage a renovation project, it can be transformed into a characterful home in a well-regarded village location with good local schools and amenities.
