This property is a four-bedroom detached house located on Barrett Road in Birkdale, Southport. The property benefits from being within easy reach of several highly-rated schools, including Our Lady Of Lourdes Catholic Primary School and Birkdale Primary School, both rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted. The nearby Birkdale train station provides convenient access to Southport and other areas.

The house itself is a period property, showing features consistent with Edwardian or Victorian architecture. The images reveal that the property requires modernisation and renovation. Many rooms show dated decor, worn carpets, and some evidence of damp or water damage. The kitchen and bathrooms are particularly in need of updating. The property does, however, possess some original features that could be restored to enhance its character. The garden is of a reasonable size, offering potential for landscaping and improvement.

Considering the average house price in the area is £307,499 and the average price per square foot is £300, the listing price of £375,000 for this 1,617.67 sqft property seems slightly high given its condition. While the location is desirable and the plot size is adequate, the significant renovation needed will likely impact the perceived value for potential buyers. Nearby comparable properties on Barrett Road range from £372,500 to £460,000, but these may not reflect the condition of this particular property.

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