This three-bedroom mid-terrace on Wigan Road is a straightforward renovation project offering clear value for buyers prepared to invest time and money. Offered chain-free at £120,000, the property provides a blank canvas across two reception rooms, a kitchen area and three bedrooms within c.900 sq ft. Period brick façade and original features give character and scope for sympathetic restoration.
The location is a strong practical selling point: a short walk to Bryn railway station with direct links to Wigan, Liverpool and Manchester, and quick access to the M6/M58 for commuters. Everyday amenities, supermarkets and several well-rated primary and secondary schools sit close by, while broadband and mobile connectivity are strong.
Internally the house requires comprehensive refurbishment — cosmetic and likely mechanical upgrades are needed to bring the property to modern standards. Rooms are generally small by modern tastes and the layout is traditional, so reconfiguration could add significant value. Tenure is not confirmed, which may affect mortgage options and should be clarified early.
The surrounding area scores as very deprived statistically, though local crime rates are very low and community amenities are readily available. For investors, first-time buyers or DIY homeowners, this mid-terrace presents a clear opportunity to create a comfortable family home or a profitable refurbished buy-to-let in a well-connected location.
