Confidence: LOW

This well-presented three-bedroom semi-detached home in Urmston offers a lot of charm and functionality. With its spacious living room featuring a bay window, well-proportioned bedrooms, and a functional kitchen with ample storage, the property is in good condition throughout. The attractive curb appeal and well-maintained exterior add to its desirability, while the south-westerly facing garden with a patio area provides a lovely outdoor space for relaxation and entertaining.

However, the asking price of £375,000 translates to £463/sqf, which is notably above the local average of £355/sqf, making it a weak value opportunity. Bidding might push the price higher, so buyers should be mindful of this when considering their offers. While the home is ready to move in with modern updates and original features, the potential for extension—subject to planning permissions—allows for future enhancements, providing a canvas for personalisation and additional living space if desired.
