This three-bedroom semi-detached house in Bootle, Merseyside, presents a mixed bag of pros and cons. The property is located on St. Augustine’s Way, a street with an average house price of £120,000 which aligns with the listed price. Several nearby Merseyrail stations offer relatively convenient access to other parts of Merseyside and Liverpool. The proximity to schools, including Netherton Moss Primary School (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted), is a potential plus for families. However, the immediate vicinity does have some areas that would benefit from regeneration.

Inside, the property shows its age, needing some refurbishment. The kitchen and bathroom appear dated and would require updating to meet modern standards. The flooring appears consistent throughout, but wall repairs and a general refresh of the décor is needed. There is a small garden present, though it shows signs of neglect and will require work.

Overall, this property may be a viable option for first-time buyers or investors seeking a project. The price aligns with the local average but factor in the cost of the renovations required to significantly improve the property’s condition and appeal. A thorough property survey should be conducted to reveal potential structural issues not visible in the provided images before committing to purchase. The lack of square footage data prevents definitive conclusions about value for money.

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