The property is located on Watling Street in Affetside, Bury, Greater Manchester. The area benefits from nearby primary schools, all rated ‘Good’ or ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted, and several train stations within a reasonable distance offering connections to other areas. While the provided data doesn’t offer specifics on local shops or places of significance, its rural location suggests a quieter lifestyle. The proximity to transport links, however, is a positive factor.
The property itself appears to be a stone-built semi-detached house. Based on the images, the property shows its age and requires some updating. Carpets and wallpaper are dated, and while some areas such as the kitchen seem recently renovated, other areas are in need of modernisation. This suggests a need for some investment to bring it up to a modern standard. The property also benefits from a substantial garden area, which adds to its appeal.
Considering the list price of £575,000, and comparing it to the average house price of £287,333 in the area, it is significantly higher. The lack of square footage data for the subject property and its neighbours makes a precise price per square foot comparison impossible. However, the average price per square foot in the area is £280. Without knowing the square footage of the property, it’s difficult to definitively comment on the value for money. However, the higher list price compared to the average price of similar properties in the area suggests that the asking price may be on the high side, unless the property size justifies the price difference. The need for modernisation also influences the overall value proposition.
Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
