Summary - 55 HIGHBANK BLACKBURN BB1 9SX
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Affordable starter with low running costs and enclosed garden.
Chain-free freehold two-bedroom mid-terrace
A compact, chain-free two-bedroom mid-terrace on Highbank that suits a first-time buyer seeking an affordable starter home. The reception room is bright and roomy for the size, and the contemporary fitted kitchen has modern cabinetry, integrated oven and useful laundry plumbing. Two well-proportioned bedrooms and a three-piece bathroom complete the straightforward layout across two floors.
Outside, the property benefits from an enclosed low-maintenance rear garden and a small front lawn. Practical extras include mains gas central heating, double glazing and fast broadband and mobile signal — useful for home working or streaming. Tenure is freehold and council tax is very low, keeping ongoing costs down.
Buyers should note material negatives: the home is small (approximately 593 sq ft) and sits in a very deprived area with a high local crime rate, which will affect resale and rental demand. The EPC is D and glazing dates from before 2002, so some energy improvements may be worthwhile. Parking is on-street only.
For a first-time buyer this house offers an affordable entry into Blackburn with immediate move-in potential and scope to improve energy performance or personalise finishes over time. Investors should weigh lower purchase price against local area challenges and lettability.
