Description
This three-bedroom semi-detached house is offered with no onward chain and is described as requiring extensive refurbishment and modernisation. The ground floor has an entrance hall, lounge and kitchen, with three bedrooms and a family bathroom upstairs. The kitchen includes wall and base units, a stainless-steel sink, storage and a boiler. The bathroom is arranged as an adapted wet room with an electric shower, WC and wash basin. The listing also notes uPVC double-glazed windows and radiators.
Outside, there is off-road parking at the front, with gardens to the front and rear. The rear garden includes a paved patio and hard landscaping. The property is within reach of Bury town centre, local shops and amenities, transport links and Fairfield General Hospital. Its existing layout and no-chain status may suit a buyer planning a substantial refurbishment, subject to inspection and verification of the property details.

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
57out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £120,000, this three-bedroom semi is priced well below the local average per square foot, making the asking price a clear opportunity to acquire a Bury renovation project. The front brick elevation appears generally standing, and the parking and front and rear gardens give you a useful starting point for creating a more comfortable home.
The interior is a heavy, full-house project: photographed rooms show extensive finish deterioration, the kitchen is visibly incomplete, and the adapted wet room is dated and worn. There is scope to rethink and renew the interiors and improve the gardens, but purchase plus works looks tight against local benchmarks, so the low entry price needs to be weighed carefully against the scale of the programme.
Key opportunities
- Rebuild the interior to your own specification, including a complete kitchen renewal and a fresh approach to the adapted wet room.
- Use the three-bedroom layout as a canvas to create a more cohesive family home, replacing worn finishes across the photographed rooms.
- Clear and improve the sizeable hard-landscaped rear garden, while making better use of the front garden and off-road parking.
Key risks
- Extensive finish damage, including a marked ceiling with an open or damaged section in the lounge, means this is a full interior rebuild programme rather than a cosmetic refresh; allow for a substantial timeline and careful project planning.
