This three-bedroom semi-detached house in Smithills, Bolton, presents a mixed bag of opportunities and challenges for potential buyers. The property’s main selling point lies in its location. Smithills offers a tranquil residential setting, while being conveniently situated near highly-regarded primary schools (Johnson Fold and Markland Hill, both rated ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted). Access to several train stations (Lostock, Bolton, etc.) is available, albeit at a moderate distance from the property itself.

However, the house requires substantial modernisation. The interior features outdated décor, including dated wallpaper, carpeting, and kitchen and bathroom fittings. The images show a pink bathroom suite and dated furnishings. These aspects will add considerably to a buyer’s overall cost, impacting the value proposition. The garden is present, but appears significantly overgrown and will likely need attention.

The list price of £260,000 necessitates careful consideration. While nearby properties are priced higher, the condition of this specific property could affect its actual market value. Potential buyers should factor in the cost of renovations and weigh them against the overall cost of the property and comparable properties in better condition to determine the true 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. *
