This mid-terrace Victorian property on Albert Street presents a straightforward investment or first-time-buy project in central Burnley. The house is freehold and offers two reception rooms, two bedrooms and a lower-ground cellar, providing flexible space that can be modernised to increase rental value or resale price.
The fabric is traditional stone/brick with double glazing and mains gas heating via boiler and radiators. Practical plus points include an enclosed rear yard, on-street parking, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal—useful for tenants or remote workers. Council Tax is low (Band A), helping running costs.
Important factual drawbacks: the home is in a very deprived area with very high local crime rates; the EPC is E; walls appear uninsulated (as-built sandstone/limestone); some internal areas show dated decor and a damp stain in the living room that will need investigation and repair. Rooms and plot are small, so refurbishment budgets should be modest and targeted.
For investors the property’s size and layout suit buy-to-let demand in the area; for owner-occupiers it offers an affordable entry with clear scope for modernisation. Buyers should factor in safety, security and insulation improvements, plus typical Victorian repair works, when calculating costs and timescales.
