Description
Kristian Allan presents this three-bedroom semi-detached house in Bury, with two reception rooms, a driveway, a single garage and a private rear garden. The traditional layout includes an entrance porch and hallway, a front living room with a bay window, a separate dining room overlooking the garden, and a rear kitchen with a pantry and garden access.
Upstairs are three bedrooms, a family bathroom and a separate WC. The main bedroom also has a bay window. The property is leasehold, with a 999-year lease from 1934 and a stated ground rent of £3.15 per year. The EPC rating is listed as TBC and the council tax band is C.
The house is offered as a modernisation project, with scope to update the kitchen, bathroom, décor and outdoor space. Bury town centre, local shops, schools and transport links, including Metrolink connections to Manchester, are described as within reach. Any changes to the bathroom layout would be subject to necessary consents.

50out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £220,000, this three-bedroom semi is priced below the local £/sqf average, giving a project buyer a comparatively inexpensive entry point. The two reception rooms, bay-windowed living room, driveway, garage and private rear garden provide a solid base to reshape and modernise. The photographed interiors offer plenty of scope: the kitchen and bathroom are worn, several rooms need new finishes, and the overgrown garden could be reclaimed as usable outdoor space.
The overall score is weak because the economics look tight: purchase plus the estimated £43,000–£76,000 renovation range puts costs above the implied current local-average value at the renovation midpoint. That is a benchmark rather than a renovated valuation, but it leaves limited room for error and makes careful budgeting important.
Key opportunities
- Use the two separate reception rooms and traditional layout to create a more contemporary family living and dining arrangement.
- Replace the dated kitchen and bathroom finishes, with the separate WC offering scope to rethink the bathroom arrangement subject to any necessary consents.
- Clear the overgrown front and rear gardens to make better use of the private outdoor space; the driveway and garage add practical value.
Key risks
- The £43,000–£76,000 works range, including worn finishes across several rooms, wall damage or staining, tired kitchen and bathroom fittings, and garden clearance, makes this a substantial programme rather than a cosmetic refresh; roof condition is not confirmed.
- Purchase plus renovation costs look tight against the local-average benchmark, so overruns or a slower programme could further squeeze the margin.
