This two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow in High Lane, Stockport, presents a mixed bag. Located in a desirable village setting with good schools and relatively convenient access to train stations for commuting, the location is a key selling point. High Lane offers a quiet, residential environment, preferred by many families and those looking for a peaceful escape from the city. The nearby Brookside and High Lane Primary Schools both boast ‘Good’ Ofsted ratings, further adding to the area’s family-friendly appeal.

However, the property itself is in need of significant modernization. The photographs reveal dated interior finishes, an outdated kitchen requiring complete refurbishment, and carpeting that needs replacing. The bungalow appears structurally sound, but the overall condition indicates a considerable amount of work is required to bring it up to current standards. This will inevitably add considerable costs to the purchase price.

The garden is a positive feature. While not enormous, it provides a decent, manageable outdoor space. This is particularly attractive for those who enjoy gardening or want a space for children to play.

The list price appears reasonable given the location and area property values. While some nearby properties might fetch higher prices, they frequently offer more modern features or larger living spaces. Therefore, the £295,000 asking price aligns with comparable properties considering it is a refurbishment project. Potential buyers should be prepared for the investment needed in renovations, which will dictate the property’s overall value after any improvements.

Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
