Description

This three-bedroom detached house in the sought-after Pleckgate area of Blackburn presents an exciting opportunity for renovation and personalization. Offering generous and flexible accommodation, the property is ideal for buyers looking to create a home tailored to their tastes. The ground floor features a spacious open-plan lounge and dining area, flooded with natural light through large windows. This area flows into a sunroom that overlooks the rear garden, providing additional versatile space with direct access outside. One of the three bedrooms is also located on this floor, allowing for flexible usage as a home office or guest room. The kitchen, while functional, requires updating and offers ample workspace and storage, along with a convenient downstairs WC. Upstairs, two further bedrooms and a family bathroom await, all of which are generously proportioned but in need of modernisation. The exterior of the property continues to impress with a generous driveway providing off-road parking and leading to a detached garage. Established gardens at both the front and rear feature mature trees and shrubs, offering scope for further landscaping. Prospective buyers should be aware that the property requires a comprehensive renovation throughout, including a non-functioning heating system.

With its prime location in Pleckgate, close to local amenities, schools, and transport links, this property offers an excellent combination of space, flexibility, and future potential.

Confidence: MEDIUM

This three-bedroom detached home in Pleckgate presents a generous layout with significant potential for renovation. While the asking price of £210,000 is slightly below local averages at £191/sqf, the overall economics of the project may be challenging. With an all-in cost of approximately £295,000, including renovation estimates of £50,000 to £120,000, the total investment stretches beyond the current local benchmarks for similar properties in the area, which is a crucial consideration for potential buyers.

The property itself is characterized by its dated condition across multiple rooms, including living areas, bedrooms, kitchen, and bathroom, all of which require modernisation. However, this offers an excellent canvas for creating a contemporary family home tailored to personal tastes. The spacious proportions and the established garden provide a solid foundation for a revitalising renovation project, making it an appealing option for those looking to invest in a property with character and room for improvement.

Key opportunities

  • Spacious layout with excellent proportions for modernisation
  • Established garden with potential for landscaping
