This three-bedroom end-of-terrace house located on Barnes Road in Skelmersdale, Lancashire, presents a mixed bag of features and needs. The property’s location benefits from proximity to several primary schools, some of which have received Outstanding Ofsted ratings. The nearby train stations at Rainford, Hoscar, Parbold, Upholland and Burscough Junction offer transport links, although the town itself may not be considered the most desirable compared to other areas of the county. The square footage is listed at 1,122.68 sq ft. However, comparable nearby properties lack precise square footage information, making a definitive price-per-square-foot comparison difficult.

Inside, the house shows its age and requires some renovation. The photos show that the property would benefit from modernisation; many rooms are dated with the wallpaper and carpeting needing to be replaced. Several areas need minor repairs. The kitchen and bathroom show signs of wear and the general condition seems fair. This lack of current market data makes a definitive judgement difficult.

The property includes a garden which is not well maintained, needing tidying. The overall size of the garden is unknown based on the information provided.

The asking price of £100,000 sits within the range of other properties on Barnes Road, with some neighboring properties priced higher and some lower. While the property needs updating, the price reflects the condition and the location’s market value. Potential buyers should carefully weigh the cost of renovation against the property’s location and potential future value.

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