The property is located in School Lane, Chapel House, Skelmersdale, which benefits from being close to several schools, including Kingsbury Primary Special School (Outstanding Ofsted rating) and Brookfield Park Primary School (Good Ofsted rating), both within a short distance. West Lancashire Community High School (Good Ofsted rating) is also nearby. This makes the location attractive to families. The proximity to several train stations, such as Rainford, Hoscar, and Parbold, provides convenient access to public transportation.

The property itself appears to be a semi-detached house. Based on the provided images, the property shows signs of age and would likely benefit from some modernisation. The interior shows dated decor and flooring, and while structurally sound, it would require updating to meet modern standards. The kitchen and bathroom appear functional but are also in need of some updating. The garden is relatively small but provides some outdoor space. There is also a detached garage.

Considering the list price of £130,000, the average price in the area is significantly higher at £404,387, and the average price per sqft is £413. While the property’s size of 767 sqft is smaller than the area average of 977 sqft, its price is substantially lower than the average. However, the need for modernisation should be factored into the valuation. Nearby comparable properties show a range of prices, with some semi-detached properties selling for similar prices, but others significantly higher, reflecting the condition and potential for renovation. Therefore, while the price is below average for the area, the required renovations need to be considered when assessing value for money.

Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
