Broomehouse Avenue, Irlam, Manchester, M44

This is a usable four-bedroom detached house with a driveway, an enclosed, generous paved garden and a modern-looking bathroom. Older finishes in the living room and several bedrooms offer scope for a light refresh, while the kitchen appears functional and maintained. The listing also suggests possible loft or annex options, but these would need feasibility and permissions checked.

The asking price is £281/sq ft, around 5.7% above the local average, so price is a constraint rather than a value advantage. With the purchase price and refurbishment midpoint, all-in costs look tight against local benchmarks; this is a more appealing project for someone who values the house’s fundamentals and can make the numbers work than an obvious bargain.
