This one-bedroom retirement flat in Birkdale, Southport, is listed at £65,000. The property is part of a retirement complex, offering residents communal gardens and a convenient location near Birkdale village. The village offers a variety of local amenities, including shops and restaurants, and Birkdale train station is within easy reach, improving accessibility. Several schools with good Ofsted ratings are within approximately one kilometer.

The photographs show a relatively well-maintained property. The bathroom appears recently updated and modern. The kitchen, however, looks dated. Other areas in need of cosmetic updates are possible.

The property itself is a flat, therefore it does not offer a private garden, only access to communal gardens.

The price appears competitive compared to other similar properties in the area that have been recently listed. However, prospective buyers must consider the need for potential renovations and the limited size of the property. The lack of plot size and a private garden are major drawbacks for many. This is a property well suited to a retiree looking for low-maintenance living with proximity to amenities and transportation.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
