Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This charming 1930s semi-detached home on Bailey Road offers a solid renovation opportunity, featuring three well-proportioned bedrooms and a spacious garden ideal for family life. While the interiors are dated and show general signs of wear, including the lounge with its original features and the functional but aging kitchen, these aspects provide a blank canvas for your creative vision. The property's asking price of £425,000 positions it at £411/sqf, which is below the local average of £439/sqf, making it reasonably priced for the area. However, all-in costs, including renovation, appear tight against local benchmarks, suggesting that careful budgeting will be essential.

The sizeable garden and character features enhance the property's appeal, allowing for potential outdoor enhancements and modernisation inside. With the added benefit of being within reach of Leigh Station and local amenities, this home holds promise for those willing to invest in its transformation. Overall, it represents an exciting project for buyers eager to craft a stylish family residence in a desirable location.
