Is A Three Minute Walk To School Worth Taking On A Little Decorating & DIY? This family-friendly semi needs work - but it's all cosmetic - and the location is hard to beat. Lever House Primary is just round the corner, with the motorways, station and business parks all within easy reach & NO CHAIN

Imagine the school run being a three minute stroll instead of thirty minutes in rush hour traffic. Just a short walk round the corner and you're at the Lever House Primary School gates.

St. Christines Avenue sits in a quiet, established pocket of Farington, with the Lancashire and Leyland Business Parks both within easy reach for work and the M6 and M65 close by for anyone commuting further afield.

It’s also handy for your day-to-day needs, with the local shops on Clifton Parade only a couple of minutes on from the school and Farington Park less than a 10 minute walk away.

The house itself does need work - and that’s the trade off you need to accept if you want to enjoy years of stress-free school runs. Every room could do with a refresh - new carpets, fresh paint, a kitchen update - but there's nothing structural to worry about, it’s all just cosmetic.

Downstairs, the kitchen and dining room sit as two separate spaces, though there's scope to knock them through into one if open-plan living is more your thing (subject to all the usual permissions).

The lounge runs the width of the house at the front, and a conservatory off the back adds useful extra space - somewhere for the kids to spread out, or just a spot for morning coffee looking out over the garden.

Unusually the family bathroom is also downstairs, just off the hall. That leaves more space upstairs for the three bedrooms - two doubles and a single.

Outside, the garden at the back is a manageable size and neatly kept. There’s a small lawn at the front and parking on the drive that runs down the side of the house for a couple of cars, plus a single garage for extra storage or workshop space.

If you're the kind of family who'd rather put your own stamp on your home than pay over the odds for someone else's choices, this is one to seriously consider.

The handy-for-everything location is one thing you certainly won’t want to change.
