Spacious four bedroom detached property for sale in the highly desirable residential area of Forest Drive situated in Skelmersdale.
Property Oracle says ..
This four-bedroom, two-bathroom property situated on Forest Drive, Skelmersdale, is presented for sale at £225,000. The house benefits from a recently updated kitchen featuring modern cabinetry and appliances. However, several images reveal that some rooms are unfinished, requiring additional work such as flooring, and there is potential for further cosmetic improvements throughout. The exterior of the property looks well-maintained, while the garden needs significant attention. It shows potential but requires effort to realize it. The location is convenient, with several primary schools and train stations located nearby. This makes it ideal for families seeking access to education and transport links. Overall, this property presents an opportunity for a buyer willing to undertake some renovation work to fully realise its value. It may be of significant interest to those seeking a property that needs some minor finishing to meet their individual design and lifestyle tastes. Further investigation into the overall condition and plot size would provide a clearer picture of its true worth. The lack of sqft information for many nearby properties hinders a precise comparison analysis. The relatively close proximity to major transport links and highly-rated primary schools offers value for money. The property requires minor finishing, so prospective buyers should factor potential costs and the work involved into their assessment.
Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
