Summary - 2, Collingwood Road, NEWTON-LE-WILLOWS WA12 9RD
2 bed 1 bath Detached
Affordable two-bedroom close to train and town centre.
Two double bedrooms plus converted loft space
A budget-friendly entry into Newton-le-Willows, this early-20th-century link-detached house offers period character and practical essentials for a first purchase. The living room’s open fireplace and stripped internal doors give immediate charm, while a separate dining room provides clear day-to-day layout. The converted loft with a Velux window adds useful extra space for a home office or occasional guest use.
The property sits on a long lease (872 years) with a nominal ground rent of £4 and very cheap council tax — strong ownership running costs for this price bracket. A paved courtyard garden with gated access provides low-maintenance outdoor space and easy access to local amenities; the train station and Earlestown centre are both within walking distance.
Buyers should note some practical drawbacks: the EPC is rated D, the glazing install date is unknown, and rooms are generally modest in scale. The wider area reports above-average crime, and several nearby schools have mixed Ofsted results. This home is best for purchasers seeking an affordable, characterful starter with scope to modernise rather than a move-in‑perfect finish.
Overall, the house represents good value for a first-time buyer who prioritises location, low running costs and renovation potential. With straightforward cosmetic and energy-efficiency improvements, it could offer comfortable living and future uplift in value.
