The property is located on Spencer Street, Skelmanthorpe, in the Kirklees district of West Yorkshire. The area benefits from nearby primary and secondary schools, including St Aidan’s Church of England Academy and Skelmanthorpe Academy, both rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted. Shelley College, rated ‘Outstanding’, is also within a reasonable distance. Several train stations, including Denby Dale, are within a few kilometers, providing access to public transportation. The presence of a small garden is a positive feature.

Based on the provided images, the property appears to be in need of significant modernisation and repair. The carpets are stained and worn, and there is evidence of damp in several rooms. The kitchen and bathroom are dated and require updating. The basement shows signs of significant damp and requires attention. Overall, the property’s condition is considerably below average.

While the list price is significantly lower than the average house price in the area (£185,000 compared to £321,272), the property’s condition needs to be considered. Nearby comparable properties on Spencer Street range from £142,500 to £275,000, indicating that the list price is at the higher end of this range. Given the extensive repairs and renovations required, the property may represent reasonable value for a buyer willing to undertake a substantial refurbishment project. However, the lack of square footage data prevents a precise price per square foot comparison. The substantial work needed could potentially offset any perceived value.

Therefore, we give this property 4 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
