The property is located in Buckley Chase, Rochdale, OL16 4BD. It’s a 5-bedroom, 2-bathroom house with a total area of 1,416 sqft and a plot size of 1,609 sqft. The list price is £445,000.

The average house price in the area is £472,681, with an average price per sqft of £472. While the property’s list price is below the average, the average sqft for the area is significantly lower than the property’s 1,416 sqft. Several nearby properties on Buckley Chase are listed at lower prices, ranging from £165,950 to £400,000. However, these listings lack sqft data, making direct comparisons difficult. One comparable property at 34 Buckley Chase, with 1,194 sqft, is listed at £350,000.

The property benefits from its proximity to several schools, including Milnrow Parish Church of England Primary School (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) and several others within a 1.5km radius. Train stations such as Smithy Bridge are also within a reasonable distance.

Based on the provided images, the property appears to be in generally good condition, although some interior decor and furnishings appear dated. The kitchen and bathrooms seem well-maintained, but some rooms showcase older wallpaper and carpets that might benefit from updating. The property includes a sizable garden area with paved patio and some planting.

Considering the property’s location, condition, and the available land, the list price of £445,000 appears to be in the mid-range for the area. While below the average house price, the larger than average size of the property and its features justify the price point. However, potential buyers should factor in the cost of potential renovations or updates to modernize the interior decor to their preferences.

Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
