Description
This two-bedroom home occupies a generous corner plot and offers scope for updating. The ground floor has an entrance hall, a long lounge with front and rear windows, and a separate kitchen with fitted timber-fronted units, tiled walls and flooring, space for a cooker and washing machine, and a rear door. Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a bathroom. The listing notes that a partition could potentially create a third bedroom, subject to the necessary permissions and checks.
Outside, the front garden has two lawned sections and established boundary planting. The enclosed rear garden is mainly paved and can be reached along the side of the house. Double gates provide vehicle access, and a separate garage with power and lighting is included. The garage and plot may offer scope for further changes, but any conversion or extension would require feasibility and planning checks. Local amenities and schools are described as being within walking distance. The property is marketed by Wilcox Estate Agents in Bolton.

Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
56out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
The asking price is a clear attraction: at £212 per sq ft, it is below the local £238 average, giving a project buyer a cheaper entry point. The spacious lounge, two double bedrooms, corner plot and separate powered garage provide a useful base, with scope to refresh the dated kitchen and bathroom, improve the flooring and decoration, and tidy the rear garden. The listing also mentions possible layout changes or garage conversion, though feasibility and permissions are not established.
The overall score is still weak because the numbers look tight: the £25,000–£45,000 renovation range puts the purchase-plus-refurb midpoint at £195,000, above the implied local benchmark of about £179,000. The visible finishes offer a clear canvas, but costs and any value added would need careful assessment.
On the economics, adding an estimated £35,000 to the asking price takes total commitment towards £195,000 — roughly 8% above what comparable floor area achieves locally in current condition. Worth factoring in before you assume strong upside from the works alone.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the dated kitchen and bathroom, then update decoration and worn or unfinished-looking flooring.
- Make use of the spacious lounge, two double bedrooms and generous corner plot as the foundation for a modernised home.
- Explore the separate powered garage and the listing’s suggested layout or extension possibilities, subject to feasibility and permissions.
Key risks
- A ceiling crack or loose-looking strip in a bedroom merits inspection.
- The rear paving has weeds and the fencing appears weathered, adding outdoor work to the project.
