Summary - 6 FRANCIS CLOSE, WIDNES WA8 8SU
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Three-bed fixer with garage and parking, ideal for buy-to-let or flip.
Corner plot with front and rear gardens and side patio access
A three-bedroom semi-detached house on a corner plot in Widnes, offered as a clear refurbishment opportunity. The property includes a detached garage, off-road parking and both front and rear gardens, useful for buyers seeking rental income or a value-add flip. The overall footprint is modest (about 697 sq ft) and suits buyers prepared for a small-family or investor layout.
The house requires renovation throughout: current heating is by electric room heaters, glazing is double but install date is unknown, and walls are solid brick with assumed no insulation—upgrades will be needed to improve comfort and energy efficiency. The bathroom and kitchen will likely need modernising; viewing will confirm full scope. There is no flooding risk and council tax is very low, which helps running costs while works are carried out.
Location strengths include proximity to several Good-rated primary and secondary schools, regular local buses, shops and leisure facilities, and excellent mobile and fast broadband speeds—good for letting prospects. The surrounding area shows high deprivation and average crime levels; buyers should weigh local market conditions and possible demand for affordable rental stock.
This property suits investors or experienced renovators who can budget for heating, insulation and general refurbishment. It offers straightforward buy-and-improve potential in a high-demand rental market but is not turnkey and will need time and investment to achieve uplift.
