A chain-free, three-bedroom mid-terrace offered freehold in Bankfield, Skelmersdale — a low-entry purchase priced for investors or DIY buyers. The house benefits from a large modern dining kitchen, double glazing and mains gas central heating, making it habitable while you plan updates. The enclosed rear garden and paved front area are low-maintenance assets for tenants or busy owners.
The property sits in a very deprived, high-crime neighbourhood with strong rental demand and good links to the Concourse town centre, bus routes and motorway connections. Local broadband is average but mobile signal is excellent, supporting working tenants or families who rely on smartphones. Nearby schools are a mix of Good and Requires Improvement/ Inadequate ratings, so buyer-purposes should consider the school-match carefully.
Built in the late 1960s–1970s as a system-built mid-terrace with external insulation, the house has a dated exterior and will suit buyers prepared to carry external and cosmetic works. Internally the layout is practical — entrance porch, lounge, cloakroom W/C, dining kitchen, three bedrooms and one bathroom — but a single bathroom and small plot limit family convenience. For investors, the property’s low purchase price, very cheap council tax band and chain-free status make it a straightforward let-ready acquisition after minor works.
Important negatives: the exterior is dated and needs renovation, the area has high crime and marked deprivation, and the construction type may require specific contractors for major works. These factors reduce family appeal but increase potential yield for landlords willing to invest in targeted improvements.
