Summary - 12 SNAPE STREET DARWEN BB3 1EN
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Chain-free, spacious Victorian terrace with strong uplift potential for hands-on investors..
Chain-free long lease (842 years)
A spacious mid-terraced Victorian property in Darwen offered chain-free and with long lease protection (842 years). The house provides two double bedrooms, two generous reception rooms and a modern, well-maintained kitchen — a solid everyday layout suitable for rental or refurbishment into higher-yield accommodation.
This is a renovation project: the property needs updating throughout, including bathroom modernisation and likely general decorative and maintenance works. Construction details include original sandstone/limestone walls (assumed uninsulated), double glazing of unknown age and a mains gas boiler with radiators. Flooding risk is medium and the local area records above-average crime and high deprivation, which will influence lettings and pricing strategy.
Practical positives for investors include a large overall size (approx. 1,024 sq ft), excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for attracting tenants — plus convenient local bus routes and nearby schools. Council tax is very low, and the property is offered at a low entry price of £75,000, making it suitable for buy-to-let or a value-add refurbishment.
Be realistic about costs and returns: factor in renovation, ongoing maintenance, possible insulation/upgrading of walls, and local market conditions. For a hands-on investor or landlord comfortable working in higher-need neighbourhoods, this property offers clear upside once modernised.
