Summary - CANAL COTTAGES 3 SOUTHGATE WIGAN WN3 4EH
3 bed 1 bath Terraced
Charming waterside three-bed with scope to modernise and extend.
Canal-side end-terraced cottage with private front courtyard
A canal-side end-terraced cottage offering three bedrooms, two reception rooms and flexible ancillary space across approximately 1,046 sq ft. The property is chain free and sold freehold, making it straightforward to purchase. The front courtyard provides a private, low-maintenance outdoor area and the canal view creates a peaceful outlook rare in this well-connected neighbourhood.
Internally the layout suits family living: a large front reception, generous kitchen/dining area, ground-floor utility/office and a downstairs WC add practicality. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a modern family bathroom. The house is presented as tidy but would benefit from targeted updating — kitchen and bathroom are functional but not high-end — and cosmetic modernisation will unlock further value.
Constructed before 1900 of solid brick, the building appears generally sound externally but likely lacks cavity insulation. Main heating currently uses mains gas with room heaters, so a buyer should budget for a modern central heating upgrade. The plot is modest with a narrow side passage; there is no substantial rear garden or driveway.
This cottage will suit a family seeking character, a first-time buyer wanting space to grow, or an investor looking for a rental in a popular terraced area. Notable positives are low flood risk, low local crime, excellent mobile signal and nearby schools; practical drawbacks are modest plot size, likely need for insulation/heating improvement, and average broadband speeds.
