This three-bedroom semi-detached house in Hillside, Burnley, offers straightforward rental appeal and clear owner-occupier potential. The layout includes a reception room and open-plan kitchen/diner with French doors to a modest rear garden — practical for tenants and low-maintenance landscaping.
Highlights for investors include off-street parking, a private driveway, and reliable mains gas central heating. The property is freehold with Council Tax Band B and an EPC rating of D, making it lettable without major immediate compliance issues, though improving energy efficiency could boost returns.
The home sits in an established residential area with good transport links, fast broadband and low local crime — attractive features for long-term tenants. There is some scope to increase value: cosmetic updates, attic insulation or wall insulation (cavity walls currently uninsulated as built) and targeted energy improvements would reduce running costs and increase rental income.
Buyers should note the property’s modest overall footprint and single family bathroom; space is typical of post-war semi-detached houses and best suits small families, sharers or buy-to-let setups. The garden and driveway are usable as-is, but larger-scale garden improvements or internal reconfiguration would be required to substantially increase living space.
