The property is located in Mercer Crescent, Helmshore, Rossendale, Lancashire, with a postcode of BB4 4DQ. Helmshore is a village in the Rossendale Borough of Lancashire, known for its attractive surroundings and proximity to the countryside. The area benefits from several highly-rated primary schools within a short distance, including Helmshore Primary School and St Veronica’s Roman Catholic Primary School, both rated as ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted. Train stations such as Accrington are within a reasonable commuting distance, although it’s approximately 7.46 km away.

Based on the images provided, the property appears to be a two-bedroom semi-detached house. The interior shows some dated decor and finishes, suggesting it may benefit from some modernisation. While the property seems structurally sound, updating the kitchen and bathrooms would likely enhance its overall appeal and value. The exterior features a paved patio area, providing an adequate outdoor space. The garden is relatively small, but well maintained with stone paving creating a tiered effect.

The list price of £185,000 is significantly below the average house price in the area (£278,632). However, the property is smaller than average (583.40 sqft compared to 835 sqft). Considering the property’s condition and smaller size, the price might be considered reasonable, particularly in comparison to other similar properties on Mercer Crescent, which range from £114,000 to £212,500. The lack of plot size data makes it difficult to fully assess the land value.

The property would benefit from some modernisation to enhance its overall appeal and potentially increase its value. The current décor is dated, and updating the kitchen and bathrooms could significantly improve the property’s condition score. The existing garden is small but manageable and well-maintained.

Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
