The asking price of £495,000 seems fairly reasonable given the size and location, but it needs to be considered in context to the local comparables. Although it is much less than other properties on North Park Drive, this property needs significant modernisation, and the current list price reflects this need. It is important to note the listing mentions a previous offer significantly higher which must be considered.

The property shows some signs of needing modernisation or updating. While the exterior appears well-maintained, the interior photos reveal dated décor and finishes in several rooms. The carpets, wallpaper, and some fixtures appear to be original or very old. Some minor repairs may also be needed. It’s not in disrepair, but a significant refurbishment would likely improve its overall condition.

The property is situated on North Park Drive in Layton, Blackpool. While Blackpool itself may not be considered a top-tier location by all, North Park Drive appears to be a desirable residential street, indicated by the high prices of nearby properties. Its proximity to good schools (St. Mary’s Catholic Academy and Christ The King Catholic Academy, both rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) and relatively close access to Layton train station enhances its appeal. The presence of Stanley Park nearby also adds to its desirability. The overall area enjoys relative tranquility compared to more central Blackpool.

The property boasts a substantial garden area, larger than most properties in the vicinity. This provides significant outdoor space. The garden appears mature and established, although it might need some tidying or landscaping.
