1 bed flat to rent

Yorkshire Street, Bacup OL13

Property Reference: 2718056.

We are pleased to offer this top floor, 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom flat in a historic stone building, at a great location in Bacup town centre, within easy walking distance of all shops and local amenities.

This is the largest of the internal flats, and runs the length of the building on the top floor. It has plenty of windows to make for a bright home, with an L-shaped lounge, as seen in the cover picture.

This property benefits from a private allocated parking space. The flat has been painted and decorated within the past 2 years, and has new grey carpets fitted throughout in the past 9 months.

The flat is currently occupied, with the tenant shortly moving out early for genuine reasons. The pictures shown in this listing are a mixture of general external pictures, and those showing the location of the property, together with a variety showing the internal condition as it is now (with the current tenants personal items shown, which are not part of the rental contract). The flat is available to rent immediately, as the current tenant is able to move out whenever required - though his tenancy officially expires 23rd January, 2026.

Heating is currently via electric storage heaters, hot water by electric immersion tank with timer, and electric shower. There is currently no gas in the flat. We hope to have improved and more efficient heating and insulation installed in the future, subject to grant funding (which was unfortunately cut in last months budget!)

The building has undergone significant refurbishment and repair since January 2022, including 32 new traditional sliding sash double glazed historic timber windows, roof and wall repairs, new gutters and rainwater down-pipes.

Please note that this flat is ideally suited to working individuals, or couples (no children or families), who can provide satisfactory references. No pets are allowed. All tenants must be non-smokers, as we operate a no smoking policy for the whole building. Sorry, but we do not generally accept tenants in receipt of benefits, unless health-related. There are just 5 flats in the building, all currently occupied with friendly single working tenants, and we're looking for a similar tenant, or working couple, for this property too.

Credit checks, previous landlord references, employer references, bank statements, wage slips, previous addresses and photo id will be required. Right to rent checks will also be carried out, as is our duty. All references will be carried out by a 3rd party on our behalf.

The property comprises a good size bright lounge, kitchen, bathroom, hallway with storage/airing cupboard and a bright double bedroom - with the bedroom windows facing Yorkshire Street (aka Todmorden Road) and towards the town centre roundabout. The lounge has views over the rear courtyard and cobbled parking area, and views to The Circle in the distance..

The flat is Council Tax Band A. The water is not on a meter. Electric only, no gas. Offered unfurnished.

Viewings will be arranged once relevant information has been received, and potential tenants will be shown around by the current tenant - at their convenience.

This building is self managed, so no letting agents are involved, therefore you get a personal service. As owners, we are not local to the property, so current tenants often assist with viewings, and reliable, trusted local tradespeople handle most of any necessary maintenance on our behalf.

If you're interested, please get in touch.
