Summary - 36 ST JAMES STREET FARNWORTH BOLTON BL4 9SJ
3 bed 1 bath Terraced
Auction sale near hospital and schools, ideal for cash buyers and builders.
Requires full refurbishment and modernisation throughout
A straightforward auction opportunity for cash buyers and experienced renovators. This red-brick, mid-terrace house requires full refurbishment throughout — cosmetic works, replacement of single glazing, and general modernisation are all needed before reoccupation or re-letting. The property comes with vacant possession and no onward chain, allowing a swift post-auction programme of works for the successful bidder.
The layout is conventional and practical: entrance vestibule, reception room, rear kitchen, small rear yard, three bedrooms (two doubles, one single) and a three-piece family bathroom. The long lease (882 years) and very low ground rent (£10 pa) are positive tenure details for buyers looking to hold or flip after renovation. There is no flood risk and local broadband and mobile signals are strong.
Positioned close to St James’s High School and Bolton Hospital, with easy access to the M60/M61, the location supports rental demand or resale to local owner-occupiers once modernised. Be aware this sale is by the Modern Method of Auction: buyers should review the Buyer Information Pack, allow for the non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of price, minimum £6,600) and expect completion within the defined reservation period. Mortgage finance may be difficult in the current condition — cash or specialist refurbishment lending is recommended.
This property suits a builder, investor or buyer who can manage a full refurbishment programme. It offers short-term hands-on value if you are prepared for structural and finishing work, plus onward potential from a long lease and low ongoing charges.
