The list price of £675,000 for a 3,299.68 sqft property requires careful consideration. While the location and size are attractive, the lack of precise plot size and the need for potential renovation impacts the overall value. Comparing it with nearby properties (like those on Chorley New Road with similar sizes but varying prices), indicates a price at the upper end of the market but potentially justified given the property’s potential. The price does not reflect exceptional value, therefore, it doesn’t warrant a perfect score.

The property shows evidence of some modernisation in the kitchen and bathrooms and appears well-maintained in the provided photographs. However, some rooms exhibit period features and decor that may be considered dated by some buyers, indicating a potential need for updating or further renovation to fully realise its potential. This warrants a score that reflects a balance between well-maintained condition and elements requiring potential refurbishment.

The property is located in Smithills, Bolton, which is considered a desirable residential area. The proximity to good schools like Thomasson Memorial School and Devonshire Road Primary School (both rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted), and its relatively close distance to Bolton train station, enhances its appeal. The presence of other amenities although not specified, is assumed to be present in this established residential area. Therefore, a higher location score is justified.

While the property includes a garden, its size is not specified, and the images suggest it’s not exceptionally large. The presence of a garden is a positive feature, yet it’s not extensive enough to justify a higher land score in comparison to other properties with significantly larger plots. Therefore, a modest score is assigned.
