Guide Price: £60,000 A vacant two bedroom mid terrace property benefitting from UPVC double glazing and central heating. Internally the accommodation would benefit from some updating and repair but sits in a popular residential location and would make an excellent investment purchase.
Property Oracle says ..
This two-bedroom terraced house in Darwen, Lancashire, presents a mixed bag for potential buyers. Located on Wood Street, it enjoys relative proximity to several well-regarded schools, including Darwen Aldridge Enterprise Studio and Holy Trinity VC School, both with ‘Good’ Ofsted ratings. Darwen train station is also within walking distance, providing access to regional transport links.
However, the property is clearly in need of renovation. The interior images reveal a need for cosmetic upgrades throughout, with the kitchen and bathroom appearing particularly dated and requiring significant work. Damp is also visible in one of the rooms, signifying potential structural issues that need investigation. The property benefits from a small enclosed backyard, but this offers limited outdoor space.
The list price of £60,000 seems reasonably competitive when compared with prices of similar properties on Wood Street, although the lack of square footage information hinders a fully comprehensive price comparison analysis. Prospective buyers should thoroughly consider the necessary renovations and any potential repair costs before making an offer. A professional survey to assess the extent of necessary works and potential structural issues would be prudent.
Therefore, we give this property 4 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
