The asking price of £499,995 seems somewhat high considering the property’s condition and the need for renovations. While the substantial land adds value, the price per square foot is not provided and there is a lack of comparable properties with similar land size and condition in the surrounding area to accurately assess the value. The other properties for sale on Junction Road are all significantly cheaper. Thus, a more thorough comparative market analysis is needed to confirm whether this is a fair market price.

The property shows its age and requires some renovation. While structurally sound, the interior decor appears dated, and there is evidence of some wear and tear, such as patchy walls and older fixtures. A significant amount of modernisation would be needed to bring it up to a modern standard.

The property is situated in Rainford, a village in Merseyside, known for its semi-rural character and proximity to St Helens. It benefits from being close to several well-regarded schools, including Corpus Christi Catholic Primary School and Rainford High School, both rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted. The proximity to Rainford train station also adds to its convenience. However, the immediate surroundings appear quite rural, which may not appeal to all buyers. This balances out the positive aspects of location.

The property boasts substantial land, significantly more than the average plot in the area. The acreage includes space for the house, outbuildings and additional open land, making it particularly attractive for those seeking a property with plenty of outdoor space.
