Description

Offered with no onward chain, this three-bedroom terraced house in Rainford has two reception rooms, a fitted kitchen and a separate rear porch. The ground floor also includes an entrance porch and hallway, while upstairs are three bedrooms, a bathroom and a separate WC. The existing arrangement could be considered for a more open kitchen and dining space, subject to approvals and feasibility checks. The property occupies a generous plot, with a driveway described as providing off-road parking for up to four vehicles. At the rear, the listing describes a private lawned garden backing onto open fields. The house is presented as requiring modernisation, giving a purchaser scope to update the accommodation. Local amenities, shops, cafés, schools and transport links are noted in the village. EPC rating is stated as TBC.

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

49out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This three-bedroom Rainford home has a generally orderly interior and a useful canvas for a light refresh: updating the older finishes, making good the unfinished bathroom wall and tidying the garden are the clearest opportunities. The generous rear garden backing onto open fields and driveway parking for up to four vehicles are standout features, while the listing also describes scope to rethink the rear living space, subject to feasibility and approvals.

The score is held back by incomplete value data rather than a finding that the asking price is dear: floor area is missing, so value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged. The stated renovation range is £6,500–£14,000; confirming measurements and checking the proposed layout would help clarify the opportunity.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the older patterned and textured finishes across the reception, hall and bedrooms.
  • Make good the unfinished bathroom wall and bring the space up to date without assuming a full replacement is needed.
  • Explore a more open rear kitchen, dining and family arrangement, subject to structural feasibility and approvals; the garden backing onto fields adds appeal.
