Description

This two-bedroom mid-terrace house presents an exceptional opportunity for renovation and investment in a well-situated cobbled street in Darwen. While the property exhibits signs of neglect, it offers a solid foundation for those looking to create their ideal living space or capitalize on its rental potential. The house features a traditional stone façade and is conveniently located near the town center, providing easy access to local amenities and the Railway Station. Inside, the layout includes an entrance vestibule that leads into a living room with original coving details, adding character to this renovation project. The kitchen area, though basic, contains essential appliances and has potential for a modern upgrade; it also offers direct access to the basement, which could serve as additional storage or be transformed into usable space. On the first floor, you’ll find two bedrooms along with a three-piece bathroom that is functional yet ready for improvements. Each bedroom benefits from natural light through double-glazed sash windows or PVC double-glazed windows. The property also boasts gas central heating, ensuring comfort while you plan updates. Externally, there is an enclosed rear yard that allows for outdoor space, while permit parking is available at the front for added convenience. As a leasehold property with an assumed 999-year lease at approximately £1.50 per annum, it's advisable to confirm details with your solicitor. Given its location and potential for improvement, this property represents a valuable investment opportunity in an area poised for growth.
