This three-bedroom semi-detached house located on St. Martins Road in Blackpool’s South Shore offers a blend of convenience and potential. Its proximity to Blackpool Pleasure Beach, along with relatively close access to several train stations, makes it an attractive option for those seeking leisure and commuting convenience. The nearby presence of several schools, including the Thames Primary Academy (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted), makes it family-friendly. The house itself has a fairly dated interior that could certainly benefit from a comprehensive refurbishment to bring it up-to-date. The kitchen and bathroom particularly look like they need modernizing. The garden, while present, requires significant landscaping work. While the property is structurally sound, prospective buyers should factor the renovation costs into their budget. In terms of price, comparable properties on St. Martins Road and nearby streets, such as 59 St Martins Road which sold for £185,000 and 63 St Martins Road at £172,950, provide some context, although sqft figures are missing. Considering these sales and the need for renovation, the listing price appears reasonable; however, a comprehensive survey is essential to accurately assess the renovation costs. Prospective buyers should prepare for potentially high renovation costs to reach their desired aesthetic and functionality. Overall, this property presents itself as a good investment opportunity that requires considerable renovation work. The successful buyer will need to balance the potential appreciation with the cost of updating the property.

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