Description
This three-bedroom detached house in Blackrod offers a practical layout with scope for updating. The ground floor includes a spacious open-plan lounge and dining room, with access towards the rear garden, and a separate fitted kitchen that would benefit from modernisation. Upstairs are three bedrooms, a family bathroom and a separate WC.
Outside, the enclosed rear garden is mainly lawn with established boundary greenery and paved areas. At the front, a lawn and driveway provide off-road parking, alongside an integral garage. The property is within reach of local services in Blackrod, Blackrod railway station and road links including the A6 and M61. Middlebrook Retail & Leisure Park is also accessible in Horwich.
The house is described as requiring some modernisation, with the kitchen and bathroom offering clear scope for updating. Its existing accommodation, garden, parking and garage provide a basis for buyers to consider improvements suited to their needs.

38out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
This detached home has a useful canvas: a spacious lounge/dining room, integral garage, driveway and enclosed garden give the project practical strengths, while the dated finishes offer scope to refresh the kitchen and bathroom, flooring and decoration. The exterior appears generally intact in the available views, with no obvious major structural defect.
The main challenge is the price. At £294 per sq ft, the £250,000 asking price is above the local average of £258 per sq ft; adding the £30,000–£55,000 renovation range puts the purchase-plus-works cost at roughly £280,000–£305,000, stretched against the local floor-area benchmark. That comparison is not a forecast of the home's value after renovation, but it makes the numbers a weak starting point for this project.
Key opportunities
- Rework the dated kitchen and bathroom finishes to give the home a more current feel.
- Refresh the marked decoration and dated flooring across the photographed living areas and bedrooms.
- Make use of the spacious lounge/dining room, integral garage and enclosed garden to shape a practical family home.
Key risks
- At the asking price, the £30,000–£55,000 works range leaves purchase-plus-refurb costs well above the local floor-area benchmark, limiting the financial headroom.
