Northwood says ..
This impressive double fronted four bedroom semi detached house is prominently positioned along the established and highly prized Holmeswood Road. In need of general modernisation this property would be ideal for a growing family wanting to add their own stamp.
Property Oracle says ..
The property is located in Rufford, West Lancashire, a seemingly desirable area with good nearby schools such as Holmeswood Methodist School (0.71 km) and Tarleton Mere Brow Church of England Primary School (2.62 km), both rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted. The proximity to several train stations (New Lane, Burscough Bridge, Bescar Lane, Burscough Junction, Rufford) adds to its convenience. However, without specific information on the property’s square footage and plot size, a precise assessment of land and location is impossible. The average house price in the area is significantly higher (£404,387) than the listing price (£299,950), suggesting it could be potentially good value. However, the average price per sqft (£413) is only useful if the property’s sqft is known.The images reveal that the property is in need of significant modernisation and updating. Walls show signs of wear and tear, carpets are worn, and the overall aesthetic suggests a need for renovation. The kitchen and bathrooms appear dated and require updating. The property has a garden, which is a positive aspect. The presence of a garage is also a plus.Given the need for renovation, the relatively lower list price compared to the average in the area could be considered reasonable, but only if the property’s square footage is comparable to the average in the area. Without this crucial information, a definitive conclusion on value for money cannot be reached. The property’s condition significantly impacts its value, making a thorough assessment contingent upon knowing the size and comparing it to similar renovated properties in the area. The property could be a good investment for someone willing to undertake renovations. The current condition suggests that the property needs significant work, which should be factored into any potential purchase.
Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
