This two-bedroom end-terrace on Fairhurst Street offers a clear investment or first-home proposition in Leigh. The house retains Victorian character externally and has a fully fitted modern kitchen/diner plus a separate utility room, making the ground floor practical for everyday living and short-term lets. Two generous double bedrooms and a family bathroom occupy the first floor; overall accommodation is well-proportioned and totals about 779 sq ft.
The rear garden is a useful private outdoor space and the large plot gives scope for landscaping or modest extension (subject to consents). Mains gas central heating, double glazing and fast broadband/mobile signal serve everyday needs. Flood risk is very low and on-street parking is available immediately outside.
Notable negatives: the area scores as very deprived and the property shows signs of external wear — the roof and rear garden appear unkempt and will need attention. Cavity walls were built without insulation (assumed), and the double glazing install date is unknown. Tenure is not stated and should be confirmed. These factors reduce immediate rental value and will require some upfront spend for refurbishment or to realise maximum rental income.
For investors or first-time buyers on a budget, this house provides a relatively low entry price with scope to add value through targeted repairs, insulation upgrades and garden improvement. Local schools, shops and transport links to Manchester and Wigan make the location functional for tenants or a small family.
