This two-bedroom terraced house in Bedford Street, Bury, presents a mixed bag. Its location is a clear plus point, being near Bury town centre and various schools, including St Joseph And St Bede RC Primary School and Chesham Primary School, both rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted. The proximity to green spaces such as Clarence Lido and Chesham Woods provides additional recreational value.

However, the property’s condition requires significant investment. The internal photos reveal dated decor, including peeling wallpaper and wall damage in several rooms, implying the need for substantial modernisation. The kitchen and bathroom, while functional, seem to be in need of updating. The exterior of the property looks passable but would benefit from some exterior maintenance to improve the overall appeal. The small, paved rear yard/garden is a modest space that provides limited outdoor recreational opportunities.

In terms of pricing, the property is listed at £130,000. Considering similar properties on Bedford Street, with prices ranging from £100,000 to £170,000, the list price appears relatively competitive. However, prospective buyers must factor in the substantial renovation costs required to bring the property up to modern standards, which could potentially offset the initial cost savings. Therefore, a careful cost-benefit analysis is essential before making an offer.

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