The asking price of £170,000 seems reasonable in the context of the St Helens market. Although information on the exact square footage is not available, comparable properties in the area have sold within a similar range. While the property requires updating, the price considers that factor to a degree, making it a decent value proposition for a buyer willing to renovate.

Based on the provided photographs, the property appears to be habitable but requires some modernisation and maintenance. The kitchen and bathroom look dated, and the garden needs attention. While there is no evidence of significant structural issues, the overall condition isn’t exceptional. A degree of cosmetic improvement is needed to bring it up to a higher standard.

The property is located in Sutton Manor, St Helens, which benefits from proximity to good schools like Sutton Manor Community Primary School (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) and St Theresa’s Catholic Primary School (rated ‘Outstanding’). The area also has relatively easy access to several train stations, albeit requiring a short drive. While not in a central or particularly vibrant area, the location offers a reasonable balance of convenience and quiet residential living.

The property includes a garden, but it’s relatively small and appears somewhat neglected, needing landscaping. The small patio area and overgrown lawn offer limited outdoor space compared to many other properties.
