Description

This two-bedroom mid-terrace house presents a promising opportunity for renovation and investment. Located on Shepherd Cross Street, the property is ideally situated near the amenities of Chorley Old Road and offers convenient access to Bolton town centre. The home features a rear yard, providing some outdoor space, although it is currently in need of modernisation. Internally, the layout includes a reception room and kitchen on the ground floor, with two bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor. With the property being vacant, it offers immediate potential for those looking to refurbish and enhance its value. Offered at auction, this property is a blank canvas for creative buyers looking to make their mark.

Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This two-bedroom mid-terrace house presents a solid renovation opportunity, especially given its attractive guide price of £50,000, which is below local averages. The property is located in a good area near amenities, making it a potentially valuable investment for someone looking to modernise a dated space. Visible wear is apparent in the living areas and the kitchen, which requires updating, but these aspects provide a blank canvas for creative improvements. The garden is average, and while the overall condition indicates a medium refurbishment scale, the potential to enhance the property is significant.

With no floor area information provided, the value against local £/sqf cannot be assessed yet, leaving room for speculation on the eventual market value post-renovation. This could be a worthwhile project for a buyer willing to invest in its modernisation, taking advantage of the local market conditions and the property's location. Keep in mind that bidding could push the final price above the guide, so it's essential to approach with due diligence.

  • Potential to modernise and upgrade dated interiors.
