3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Farrell Close, Melling, Liverpool, Merseyside L31

Your ideal next investment opportunity – no chain

Whitegates are delighted to present to the market this three-bedroom semi-detached family home, positioned within a popular and sought-after cul-de-sac in the L31 area. Offered with no onward chain, this property represents an excellent opportunity for investors, developers, cash purchasers, or buyers using bridging finance who are looking for a project with strong potential in a well-connected residential location.

Farrell Close is ideally placed within easy reach of a range of local amenities, including shops, schools, transport links and everyday conveniences, making it a highly practical setting for families and commuters alike. The property sits within an established residential area and offers the benefit of both front and rear garden space, together with off-road parking, gated access and a single garage.

The property is currently part way through a programme of development and has been stripped back, providing a blank canvas for the next owner to complete the works to their own specification. This creates a superb opportunity to add value and design a home tailored to individual requirements, whether for resale, rental investment or long-term occupation.

Internally, the accommodation comprises an entrance hall, lounge, sitting/dining room and kitchen to the ground floor. To the first floor, there are three bedrooms and a family bathroom. Once completed, the layout has the potential to provide a well-proportioned family home in a location where demand remains consistently strong.

Externally, the property benefits from sunny gardens to both the front and rear, offering further scope for landscaping and improvement. A driveway set behind its own gates provides off-road parking, while the single garage adds further storage or parking potential.

Due to the current condition of the property and the fact that it is part way through development, Whitegates understand that conventional mortgage lending may not be suitable. The property is therefore expected to appeal primarily to cash purchasers or buyers using bridging finance.

This is a rare chance to acquire a three-bedroom semi-detached home in a desirable L31 cul-de-sac location, with no chain and excellent potential for future improvement. Early viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate the scope, position and opportunity on offer.

The property is freehold, has an EPC rating of D and falls within Council Tax Band C.
