This three-bedroom semi-detached house in Bamfurlong, Wigan, presents a mixed bag of attributes. The property’s major selling point is undoubtedly the substantial land it occupies, significantly larger than what one would typically find in this area. The large rear plot, coupled with outline planning permission for four new dwellings (two pairs of semi-detached homes - Planning App link - A/24/97304/PIP), represents considerable development potential, greatly increasing its value for investors or those seeking significant expansion opportunities. However, the current property condition is noticeably dated and requires extensive modernization. The interior features old wallpaper, carpets, and fixtures, impacting its current liveability and requiring considerable investment to upgrade. The kitchen and bathroom are in need of full renovation. The location itself is acceptable, with reasonable access to local primary schools and train stations, offering connections to Wigan and other areas. However, it lacks the vibrancy and abundance of local amenities typical of more centrally located properties. The list price of £300,000 needs to be carefully considered in relation to the refurbishment costs. Therefore, a thorough survey and cost assessment for the necessary renovations are strongly recommended before committing to a purchase. In short, this property caters more to a buyer looking for a development project with significant land and planning permission. The current home is significantly dated and needs total renovation and modernising.

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