This three-bedroom, end-of-terrace property situated on Oxford Road in Lostock, Bolton, presents a mixed bag of opportunities and challenges. Its location is undeniably its strongest asset, with good schools and transport links within easy reach, making it particularly appealing to families. The proximity to Horwich Parkway station adds a significant value proposition. Several nearby schools are rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted, further enhancing the property’s desirability.

However, the condition of the property significantly detracts from its overall appeal. The interior photographs show dated décor, furnishings, and fixtures, suggesting the need for extensive modernisation. The kitchen and bathroom would necessitate a complete overhaul. Potential buyers must factor in these considerable renovation costs.

The property does include a garden which while not expansive, does offer outdoor space, although precise dimensions are unavailable.

The list price of £180,000 needs to be considered in light of the required renovations. While comparable properties in the area may be priced slightly higher, their conditions are likely more contemporary. Therefore, the list price reflects both the desirable location and the considerable work that is needed, making it a balanced but not exceptional value for money. Potential buyers should carefully weigh the costs of refurbishment against the property’s location advantages before making an offer.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
