Summary - CANAL COTTAGES 3 SOUTHGATE WIGAN WN3 4EH
3 bed 1 bath Terraced
Charming three-bedroom canalside cottage — chain-free with great potential.
Canalside end-terrace with peaceful waterside outlook
Chain-free, freehold; approx. 1,046 sq ft (97.2 sq m)
Three bedrooms, two reception rooms and ground-floor office/utility
Single family bathroom only; may limit larger households
Solid brick pre-1900 build; likely lacks wall insulation
Front courtyard overgrown and requires maintenance
Heating via mains gas and room heaters; windows are leaded glazing
Small plot and narrow side passage; limited outdoor space
This end-terraced cottage sits directly beside the canal and offers a practical three-bedroom layout over two storeys. The house is chain-free and freehold, with two reception rooms, a large kitchen/diner and a versatile ground-floor utility/office — useful for home working or as extra storage. The front courtyard is low-maintenance and the waterside location provides a peaceful outlook uncommon in an urban setting.
Internally the accommodation is a mix of period character and straightforward, usable space: a large reception, an extended kitchen/diner, three bedrooms and a family bathroom. Room heaters and mains gas provide heating; the building’s solid-brick construction dates from before 1900 and may benefit from modern insulation upgrades. The overall floor area is about 1,046 sq ft, suitable for a small family or landlord letting to multiple tenants.
Practical considerations are candidly set out: the property will suit someone prepared to carry out light to moderate modernisation. Windows show traditional leaded glazing and external inspection suggests generally sound structure, but internal inspection is recommended to confirm condition. The front garden is overgrown and needs maintenance; there is a narrow side passage to the rear.
For buyers focused on value, the canalside position, chain-free status and sizeable kitchen/reception spaces are the main draws. For families, proximity to several primary and secondary schools and local amenities adds convenience. Investors will note the simple layout and rental potential, but should factor in the single bathroom and scope of updates when assessing yield.
