Description

A further staircase leads to a loft room, which the listing suggests could be used for working from home, hobbies or storage, subject to any required consents and regulations.
The property has an enclosed rear yard and is situated close to local amenities, schools, transport links and Preston city centre. Council Tax is Band A.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
47out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
At £100,000, this two-bedroom end-terrace offers a light modernisation project rather than a major overhaul. The photographed interiors have dated finishes and visible wear, with the bathroom particularly tired; the brick exterior looks generally intact from the street, though the roof and fabric cannot be confirmed from that view. Its two reception rooms, three-level layout and loft room give buyers useful scope to tailor the home, with the loft’s use subject to any necessary consents and regulations.
The score is 47/100 (grade E), but value versus local £/sqf cannot be judged yet because the floor area is missing. Once that information is available, the price assessment can be revisited.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the dated finishes and flooring in the photographed areas to give the home a more current feel.
- The worn bathroom provides scope for a focused update, with the extent of work to be confirmed on inspection.
- Make use of the flexible two-reception layout and loft room for everyday living, work or hobbies, subject to any required consents and regulations.
