Description

This chain-free three-bedroom semi-detached house has a spacious living room, a kitchen-diner and a family bathroom. The kitchen has recently fitted units, an oven and a hob, although the installation still needs finishing. The bathroom is also described as requiring modernisation. Upstairs are three bedrooms, including two doubles and a third bedroom. The property has a large rear garden backing onto St George's Playing Fields, while the gravelled front garden may offer scope for off-road parking. The listing also notes a vestibule, under-stairs storage and a door from the kitchen to the rear garden. The house is close to local schools, parks and Shaw town centre, with the Metrolink within walking distance. It is presented as a home requiring further work, with scope for a buyer to complete the kitchen and update the bathroom.

Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This three-bedroom semi has a strong project canvas: a spacious living room, a large rear garden backing onto St George’s Playing Fields, and a kitchen with relatively recent-looking units and appliances that mainly needs finishing. Worn or unfinished floors across several rooms, incomplete bathroom wall finishes and the damaged decking give a buyer clear scope to personalise the home and improve its presentation. The visible exterior appears broadly intact, with no obvious major structural defect in the available view.

The score is held back by limited condition and economics marks, while the fundamentals and location score more strongly. The floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot be judged yet; the asking price alone does not establish whether it is cheap or dear.

Key opportunities

  • Finish the flooring and make good the interior surfaces to give the living spaces and bedrooms a consistent, more polished feel.
  • Build on the relatively recent-looking kitchen units and appliances by completing the remaining installation and finishing touches.
  • Make better use of the large garden and playing-field outlook by repairing or replacing the damaged decking and tidying the outdoor space.

Key risks

  • Several rooms have unfinished or worn surfaces, alongside incomplete bathroom wall finishes and damaged decking; allow for a substantial multi-area programme and time to coordinate the interior and garden work rather than treating this as a cosmetic refresh.
