The property is located in Lower Town End Road, Wooldale, Holmfirth, which is in the Holme Valley South area of Kirklees, West Yorkshire. The area benefits from relatively close proximity to several primary and secondary schools, with Holmfirth High School, rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted, being within a short distance. Several train stations are also within reasonable travelling distance, providing access to further afield locations. This contributes to a positive location score. However, the lack of specific details regarding local amenities and the overall character of the immediate neighbourhood prevents a more definitive assessment of the location.

Based on the provided images, the property is in need of significant renovation. Many rooms show considerable wear and tear, outdated fixtures, and require modernisation throughout. The bathrooms, in particular, appear dated and require complete refurbishment. The overall condition of the property significantly impacts its value and requires substantial investment to bring it up to a modern standard.

The property includes a garden area, which is visible in several aerial shots. While the exact size is not specified, the available space appears reasonably sized for a property of this type, offering some outdoor space. However, the condition of the garden, as seen in the images, also needs attention.

The list price of £365,000 is slightly below the average house price in the area (£376,409). However, given the property’s condition, requiring extensive renovation, the price may appear relatively high compared to similar properties in the area that are in better condition. The average price per square foot in the area is £289, and while the property’s square footage is larger than average (1389.85 sqft vs 1301 sqft), the significant renovation needed could justify a lower price per square foot. More comparable sales data for similar properties needing renovation would be needed to make a more precise assessment of the list price’s reasonableness.

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