This two-bedroom mid-terrace property in Simonstone, Lancashire, is presented at a list price of £125,000. The property’s location offers proximity to the M65 motorway and several primary schools rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted, making it potentially attractive to families. The village setting could appeal to those seeking a quieter lifestyle away from major town centres.

The house’s condition appears to be fair. While habitable, some cosmetic upgrades would likely enhance the property’s appeal. The kitchen and bathroom show signs of age and could benefit from modernisation. The house offers a compact garden which is a benefit.

The lack of explicit square footage in the listing prevents a detailed analysis of the price per square foot compared to the local market. However, considering similar properties on Railway Terrace, which range in price from approximately £101,000 to £127,500, the list price seems generally appropriate given the age and apparent condition. Prospective buyers should be prepared for some improvements to bring the property to their desired standard.

Overall, the property is a reasonable entry-level option for buyers seeking a small home in a village setting with reasonably convenient access to transport links. However, potential buyers must factor in the cost of potential renovations and consider whether the limited garden space meets their needs.

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