The property is a bungalow situated in Galgate, Lancaster. Galgate benefits from being a short distance from Lancaster city centre, offering a balance between rural living and convenient access to urban amenities. The presence of nearby schools, including Ellel St John The Evangelist Church of England Primary School (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) and Galgate Children’s Centre, adds to its family-friendly appeal. The proximity to Lancaster train station, providing links to Avanti West Coast services, improves its accessibility. The property itself appears to be in need of significant modernisation and updating. The interior photos reveal dated fixtures, fittings, and finishes throughout. The flooring, wallpaper, and kitchen units are showing their age and would require replacement. The overall condition suggests a considerable amount of work is needed to bring it up to a modern standard. The exterior shows a small garden area, but it appears to be largely undeveloped and requires landscaping. Considering the property’s condition, the list price of £190,000 requires careful consideration. The average price per square foot in the area is £358.00, while this property is listed at a significantly lower price per sqft given its size of 735.07 sqft. However, the need for extensive renovation works must be factored into any valuation. Nearby comparable properties show a range of prices, some significantly higher, but these properties may not require the same level of renovation. Therefore, while the price may seem attractive initially, potential buyers should budget for substantial refurbishment costs.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
