Description
Offered at auction on 28 October 2026, this three-bedroom semi-detached house in Farnworth is described as requiring updating and modernisation. The ground floor has an entrance hall, a front-facing lounge with a brick fireplace and gas fire, and a kitchen-diner with fitted units and access to the rear garden. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a bathroom with a bath and shower over.
Outside, the property has a block-paved driveway leading to a detached garage, along with an enclosed rear garden and a storage building. The listing notes an open aspect opposite a playing field, freehold tenure and no onward chain. Farnworth town centre, local schools, bus services and Farnworth and Moses Gate railway stations are nearby, with access to the M61 also noted. The house offers scope for refurbishment, subject to inspection and verification of the work required.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
49out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This is a substantial renovation project, with damaged or stripped finishes across several rooms, worn floors, and a neglected rear garden. The £45,000–£75,000 works range gives a sense of the scale: there is scope to rework the interiors, refresh the kitchen and bathroom, and improve the garden, while making the most of the three-bedroom semi-detached layout, driveway and detached garage. Its open aspect opposite a playing field is a distinctive plus.
At £150,000, the value score remains unjudged rather than a sign that the house is cheap or expensive: floor area is missing, so value against local £/sqf cannot yet be assessed. The overall E grade reflects a limited condition score and gaps in the value and residual-value assessment, despite good fundamentals and location. The listing describes an auction sale; bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay at this level.
Key opportunities
- Rework the three-bedroom layout and finishes to create a refreshed home, with the brick fireplace offering a character feature to build around.
- Replace or renew the dated kitchen and refurbish the bathroom as part of a coherent interior upgrade.
- Clear and improve the overgrown rear garden; the driveway and detached garage add useful practical appeal.
Key risks
- Stripped and damaged finishes, worn or exposed floors across several rooms, and garden debris make this a £45,000–£75,000 full-project budget and programme, not a cosmetic refresh.
- Staining and deterioration around window walls merit investigation; the roof and wider building condition cannot be confirmed from the images.
- Without floor area, value against local £/sqf and residual value cannot yet be judged.
