This two-bedroom semi-detached house in Burnley, Lancashire, presents a mixed bag of prospects. The property’s location in Brunshaw offers convenience with proximity to local amenities such as schools and transportation. Burnley Central train station and other local transport is easily accessible but not close to the property. The nearby schools receive a range of Ofsted ratings, however this is not necessarily an indicator of the property’s value.

However, the property’s condition is a considerable factor. The provided photographs reveal a dated interior requiring extensive modernisation. The kitchen in particular needs updating, carpets are worn and the overall property needs redecoration to be considered in a modern standard.

The property does include a small paved yard, offering some outdoor space, however this is not particularly generous or well maintained. The small plot size is also a factor to consider for buyers.

The asking price of £85,000 is in line with other comparable properties in the area. While there is a need for major improvements, the price appears reasonable considering the location and potential return after renovations. Buyers should carefully budget for the costs of refurbishments before making a purchase decision. This would be an ideal property for a first time buyer wanting a project or an experienced investor looking for a property in an area with reasonably stable prices.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
