Description

This three-bedroom semi-detached house has remained in the same family since around 1959 and retains a largely original layout. The ground floor has an entrance porch, hallway, two separate reception rooms and a compact kitchen. The kitchen sits alongside the rear reception room, and the listing notes that combining these spaces could be explored, subject to feasibility and any required permissions. Upstairs are two double bedrooms, a smaller third bedroom and a family bathroom. The bathroom is described as potentially relocatable to the third bedroom, which could allow that room to be used differently, subject to checking the layout and services. The property also has a front garden and side driveway, plus a large rear garden with a patio, mature borders, greenhouse hardstanding and a brick outbuilding with an up-and-over door. The listing describes distant views towards Rivington Pike and surrounding hills. Blackrod station is stated to be under a mile away, with the M61's Junction 6 under 2.4 miles away. The property is leasehold for a stated term of 990 years from 22 September 1932; the ground rent is to be confirmed. The adjoining land is also described as leasehold on the same term. Any extension or internal reconfiguration would require feasibility checks and any necessary permissions.

53out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £220,000, this three-bedroom semi is priced just below the local average per square foot, making the entry point reasonable rather than a clear bargain. The overall score is held back by modest economics, but the house offers a straightforward light-refresh project: older finishes are visible across the rooms shown, with a particularly dated kitchen and bathroom, and no obvious major structural issue in the exterior views.

The large, private rear garden, brick outbuilding and countryside outlook give the property character beyond the interior work. There may also be scope to rethink the relationship between the kitchen and rear living room or extend, subject to permissions and feasibility; neither is established by the listing.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated finishes across the rooms shown, including the notably old-fashioned kitchen and bathroom.
  • Make better use of the large rear garden, with maintenance to its borders and paths; the brick outbuilding adds useful character.
  • Explore whether the kitchen and rear living room could be opened up, or whether an extension is feasible, subject to appropriate checks and permissions.
