Affordable starter home with garden and refurbishment potential.
Chain free 2-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace
A chain-free, two-bedroom mid-terrace offering an accessible entry point to Blackburn property ownership. The house keeps period character with a traditional frontage, mid-century fireplace and double glazing, while presenting immediate scope to personalise and modernise throughout.
The ground floor has a cosy living room, kitchen diner and separate utility that leads to a small rear garden — useful for drying washing or a bit of outdoor seating. Upstairs offers a generous double and a smaller second bedroom plus a wetroom-style bathroom. Total internal area is about 663 sq ft, suitable for first-time buyers or those downsizing.
Practical points: heating is mains-gas boiler and radiators; council tax band is low and flood risk is nil. The property sits in a working-class, improving neighbourhood close to local amenities, playground and schools rated Good. On-street parking only and the plot is small, but mobile signal and broadband speeds are strong.
Considerations: the property will benefit from updating and some cosmetic work — carpets, kitchen finishes and general modernisation are needed in places. The solid stone walls are likely uninsulated (typical for the era) which could mean higher heating costs until improved insulation is added. Overall this is a realistic, affordable starter home with clear potential for value increase after refurbishment.
