This three-bedroom semi-detached bungalow in Stalybridge, Greater Manchester, is situated on Oak Tree Crescent and is listed at £300,000. The property benefits from a convenient location, with several highly-rated primary schools within walking distance, such as St. Peter’s Catholic Primary and Broadbent Fold Primary, both receiving ‘Good’ or ‘Outstanding’ Ofsted ratings. Train stations, including Stalybridge, are also relatively close, offering good transport links.

The property’s condition is a mixed bag. The kitchen and bathrooms appear to have undergone recent modernization, presenting themselves well. However, other parts of the house, specifically one of the bedrooms, seem to be in need of renovation, with areas of unfinished work or requiring updates. The flooring and wall coverings in parts of the property appear dated. While the property is habitable, potential buyers should be prepared for additional investment and refurbishment.

The outdoor space includes a garden and a rooftop terrace which offers views, but both areas require some landscaping and tidying. The garden is relatively small.

The list price of £300,000 is competitive when compared to similar properties in the immediate area. While precise square footage data is missing, nearby sales suggest the price is in line with market value for a three-bedroom property in the area, given its condition and location. This is especially true when considering the recently updated kitchen and bathrooms. However, this needs to be weighed against the cost of further refurbishment of other rooms. Therefore, a potential buyer should carefully assess the cost of completing the necessary works to reach their desired property condition.

Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
