This two-bedroom terraced house in Baxenden, Lancashire, presents a mixed bag for potential buyers. The property’s location scores highly due to its proximity to local schools like Baxenden St John’s Church of England Primary School (rated ‘Good’) and its relatively easy access to Accrington’s amenities and train station. The relatively quiet location of Baxenden adds to the appeal of the property.

However, the property’s condition is a major factor to consider. The provided photographs clearly indicate that the property requires significant modernisation. The kitchen and bathroom are outdated and need a complete overhaul. Carpets appear worn, and general maintenance appears to be neglected. Potential buyers should budget for substantial renovation costs, which could significantly impact the overall investment.

The exterior features a small garden area and a garage, which adds practicality. While not expansive, the outdoor space provides an extra benefit, particularly for those wanting some garden space in a suburban location.

The list price seems fairly aligned with similar terraced properties in the area, particularly those that require renovation. However, potential buyers should conduct thorough surveys and obtain accurate cost estimates for renovation before committing to the purchase. This property is most suitable for a buyer who is comfortable undertaking extensive renovation works or looking for a potential investment property which needs extensive modernisation and refurbishment. A detailed survey is essential to assess the extent of the works needed and potential hidden issues that could add to the cost.

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