Description

Introducing St Mary’s Vicarage, a distinguished detached family residence situated in a secluded yet accessible location on Cop Lane. This substantial property is set back from the road, enveloped by mature landscaping, offering both privacy and a wealth of character. With its generous space and potential for modernisation, this home presents an exciting opportunity for buyers looking to create a tailored family haven in one of Penwortham’s most sought-after areas. Conveniently located, the property is within easy reach of local amenities, including reputable schools, a health centre, and a vibrant high street filled with independent shops, cafés, and restaurants. While the home would benefit from a modernisation programme, it provides a blank canvas for prospective owners to enhance and reconfigure the existing layout to meet their needs, subject to necessary consents. The ground floor features an entrance vestibule leading into a welcoming inner hallway, a cloakroom/W.C., a spacious living room, a separate sitting room, a formal dining room, and a kitchen with an adjoining utility room. The first floor continues to impress with four double bedrooms, a family bathroom, a separate shower room, and a laundry room. Externally, the property boasts substantial gardens at both the front and rear, ensuring ample space and privacy. A generous driveway accommodates several vehicles and leads to a detached single garage. With its extensive accommodation and tremendous potential in a desirable setting, viewing is highly recommended.

32out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

‘St Mary’s Vicarage’ presents a unique opportunity to acquire a spacious detached family home in a sought-after location, although it requires a significant amount of modernisation throughout. The property features generous living spaces, including multiple reception rooms and four double bedrooms, providing a flexible canvas for potential buyers to enhance and reconfigure to their taste.

However, the asking price of £595,000 translates to £325/sqf, which is substantially above the local average of £191/sqf. This makes it a dear option for the area, especially when considering the all-in costs of around £675,000 against local benchmarks. The kitchen, while modern, requires updating, and the general condition across the home showcases signs of wear that need addressing. Buyers should weigh the potential for improvement against the steep price relative to the local market.

Key opportunities

  • Spacious living areas provide a great opportunity for reconfiguration and modernisation.
  • Generous gardens offer excellent outdoor space for family activities or landscaping.
  • The versatile layout allows for creative redesign tailored to personal preferences.

Key risks

  • The all-in costs, considering the purchase price and renovation range, leave the investment stretched compared to local property values.
