The list price of £190,000 appears reasonable, even considering the property’s condition. A similar property on Hill Crescent sold prior to auction for an undisclosed amount, indicating a level of demand. The presence of a large garden and potential for refurbishment justifies the price, compared to other properties nearby such as 10 Hill Crescent (£164,500) and 1 Hill Crescent (£105,000). However, without knowing the exact square footage of comparable properties, there’s not enough evidence to rate it as exceptional value.

The property’s interior shows its age and requires significant modernisation. While the bathroom appears recently updated, other rooms exhibit dated decor, furnishings, and some potential maintenance issues (e.g., the visible damp in the picture). Overall, the house’s general condition is fair, but not excellent.

The property is located in Higher Blackley, Manchester, which benefits from proximity to several good schools (Bowker Vale Primary School and Crab Lane Primary School both rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) and is within reasonable commuting distance to Manchester city centre via public transport. The presence of a large garden also adds to its appeal, enhancing the overall livability of the area. However, Higher Blackley might not be considered a prime location by all buyers, hence the score isn’t a perfect 10.

The property includes a substantial garden and a garage as indicated by the photos and listing description. This is a significant asset, especially given the scarcity of larger plots in urban areas.
