2 bed terraced house for sale

Scotforth Road, Preston PR1

If you are looking for a home you can improve, add your own style to and potentially add value along the way, this two-bedroom terrace on Scotforth Road could be a really interesting opportunity.

There is no getting away from the fact that the property requires some modernisation. The décor is dated in places and there are areas that would benefit from further improvement, but importantly, a number of the more practical upgrades have already been taken care of. There is a modern-style fitted kitchen, a recently modernised shower room, a Worcester combination boiler and uPVC double glazing, giving the next owner a useful head start.

The accommodation is also a really good size for a two-bedroom terrace, extending to approximately 635 sq ft.

You enter through a small vestibule into a surprisingly generous lounge, measuring approximately 13'11" x 13'0". There is plenty of room here to create a comfortable main living space, while the proportions should give a new owner plenty of options when it comes to redecorating and furnishing.

To the rear is the kitchen and dining area. This is one of the areas where investment has already been made, with a modern range of white fitted units, contrasting work surfaces and tiled splashbacks. There is an integrated electric oven with gas hob, together with space for additional appliances. A rear door provides direct access into the enclosed yard.

The staircase rises from the kitchen area to the first floor, where the size of the bedrooms is another pleasant surprise. The main bedroom occupies the full width of the front of the property and measures approximately 13'11" x 13'0", making it a particularly generous double room. Bedroom two is another good-sized room at approximately 10'11" x 9'0" and incorporates useful built-in storage.

Completing the first floor is the shower room, which has been updated in a much more contemporary style and is fitted with a three-piece suite comprising shower enclosure, WC and wash basin.

Outside, there is an enclosed rear yard with a timber storage shed. Again, this is an area where some attention would make a noticeable difference and gives the next owner another opportunity to put their own stamp on the property.

The location should add to the appeal, particularly for buyers wanting convenient access around Preston. Scotforth Road sits within easy reach of the city centre and its shops, amenities, railway and bus connections. The University of Lancashire's Preston campus is centrally located and the wider road network provides connections towards the M6, M55 and surrounding areas. UCLan Star

Royal Preston Hospital is also readily accessible via the city's road and public transport network, with the hospital itself connected to the A6 and M6 at Junction 32. Lancashire Teaching Hospitals

For a first-time buyer prepared to take on some decorating and improvement work, this is a chance to create a home to their own taste without starting completely from scratch. Equally, the accommodation, two genuine bedrooms and accessible location could make it an interesting proposition for a landlord or investor looking for their next project.

Viewing is recommended to properly appreciate the size, layout and potential on offer.
