Property Oracle says ..
This property is a semi-detached bungalow located in Elkan Close, Widnes, Cheshire. The property benefits from being close to several primary schools, with Moorfield Primary School and St John Fisher Catholic Primary School both receiving a ‘Good’ Ofsted rating and within a reasonable distance. Widnes train station is also relatively close, providing convenient access to public transport links.
The property itself appears to be in reasonable condition, although some aspects suggest it may benefit from modernisation. The interior decor is dated, and while the rooms are clean and well-maintained, an update would likely enhance its appeal to potential buyers. The kitchen and bathroom are functional but also show their age and could be upgraded. The property includes a garden, which is a desirable feature for many buyers.
Considering the average price per square foot in the area is £240, and this property is listed at £240,000 with 416 sqft, the list price seems slightly high compared to the average price of similar properties in the area. However, the proximity to good schools and transport links may justify a slightly higher price. The lack of plot size information makes a definitive statement on value difficult. Nearby comparable properties show prices ranging from £120,000 to £270,000, indicating some price variation in the area. More information about the plot size and any unique features of the property would be needed for a more precise valuation.
Based on the provided information, the property presents a reasonable opportunity for a buyer seeking a semi-detached bungalow in a convenient location. However, potential buyers should factor in the costs of potential modernisation to the kitchen and bathroom, and the overall aesthetic of the property.
Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
