Confidence: MEDIUM

This semi-detached house on Oak Street in Shaw offers an attractive opportunity for renovation enthusiasts. With an asking price of £160,000, the property is priced significantly below the local average at £173/sqf compared to £257/sqf, making it an appealing option for buyers looking to create value. The 926 square feet of space includes two reception rooms and two well-proportioned bedrooms, all of which are currently dated and show visible signs of wear. However, this presents a blank canvas for someone eager to infuse their personal style and transform the interiors into a modern living space.

The exterior features a garden front and a rear yard that needs maintenance, adding to the overall potential of the property. While the kitchen and bathroom are functional, they are also in need of updates. The required renovation, estimated between £40,000 and £120,000, allows for a significant opportunity to increase the property's value. Overall, this house represents a chance to invest in a home that can be tailored to your liking in a desirable area, making it a worthwhile project for those willing to roll up their sleeves.
