The property is a bungalow located on Old Park Lane in Southport, Merseyside. It has two bedrooms and two bathrooms, and a total area of 920.31 sqft. The asking price is £270,000.

The property benefits from being close to several primary schools, including Bishop David Sheppard Church of England Primary School (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) and St Patrick’s Catholic Primary School (rated ‘Outstanding’). The proximity to these well-regarded schools is a positive factor for families. There are also several train stations within a reasonable distance, offering convenient access to public transportation.

Based on the images provided, the property appears to be in need of some modernisation. The interior shows dated fixtures and fittings, and some areas appear tired. While structurally sound, significant cosmetic improvements would enhance the property’s overall appeal. The exterior shows a small garden area and a detached garage. The garden is relatively small, but provides some outdoor space.

Considering the average house price in the area is £241,449 and the average price per sqft is £229, the asking price of £270,000 for this 920.31 sqft property seems slightly high, especially given its condition. While its location and proximity to schools and transport links are positive aspects, the need for modernisation and the relatively small plot size may affect its market value. The nearby comparable properties show a range of prices, but many are smaller semi-detached houses. Therefore, a more thorough comparative market analysis may be needed to determine a precise valuation.

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