About this home

Three Bedroom Semi-Detached Home on a Generous Corner Plot – Huge Potential (STPP)

Positioned on a bold corner plot and brimming with potential, this three bedroom semi-detached property offers exciting scope to extend to both the side and rear (subject to the necessary consents). Located on a popular turning overlooking school playing fields, the home enjoys an open outlook while remaining within easy reach of Accrington town centre and the wider motorway network, making it ideal for families and commuters alike.

The accommodation comprises a spacious living room, dining kitchen and conservatory to the ground floor, with three bedrooms and a family bathroom to the first floor.

Externally, expansive wrap-around gardens provide excellent space for family life and present superb potential to significantly extend the property and create a true “forever home” (subject to planning permission). There is also scope to create off-road parking to the front or side, further enhancing the appeal of the property.

The property benefits from gas central heating with a newly installed boiler and double glazing throughout. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a home with such generous outdoor space in a sought-after residential location, offering enormous potential for improvement and value growth.

Please note that an AML fee is chargeable to the buyer once an offer is accepted to cover the cost of carrying out the required identity and anti- money laundering checks. Once these checks have been completed, the fee cannot be refunded, even of the property purchase does not go ahead.
