This two-bedroom semi-detached property in Stretford, Greater Manchester, presents as a significant fixer-upper. The property’s location is a positive aspect; being within walking distance of Stretford Mall and well-regarded schools such as Victoria Park Junior School (rated Outstanding) and Victoria Park Infant School (rated Good) makes it attractive for families. The proximity to Trafford Park and the Metrolink also enhances its accessibility.

However, the condition of the property is a major concern. The photos reveal significant damage to the walls and ceilings throughout the house. The kitchen and bathroom are extremely outdated and require complete refurbishment. The carpeting is worn, and the general state of the property suggests a substantial amount of work is necessary before it becomes habitable. The small, somewhat overgrown backyard adds little to its appeal.

The listed price of £250,000 needs careful consideration in the context of its state. While other properties on Cyprus Street have sold within a similar price range, none of those listings describe the level of extensive renovation required for this property. Potential buyers should factor in significant costs for complete interior and exterior refurbishment, making the actual cost substantially higher than the asking price. Buyers should therefore seek professional surveys and costings before making an offer.

Therefore, we give this property 4 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
