60out of 100
Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £190,000, this three-bedroom semi is priced around 15% below the local average per square foot, giving project buyers an appealingly low entry point. Generous reception rooms, bay-fronted character, fireplaces and stained glass provide a strong canvas for a medium-scale update, with dated finishes across several rooms and scope to refresh the kitchen, bathroom and overgrown rear garden.

The balance to weigh is that purchase plus works looks tight against local benchmarks, so the below-average asking price does not automatically make the overall economics strong. Still, the period details and room proportions give this Leyland home distinctive potential for someone who can manage the improvements carefully.

Key opportunities

  • Bring the dated finishes across several rooms up to date, including a new look for the kitchen and bathroom.
  • Make the most of the bay-fronted reception rooms, fireplaces and stained-glass details in a refreshed interior.
  • Tidy the established rear garden, including its planting and mossy paving, to make better use of the outdoor space.
