Summary - 72 DARLINGTON STREET EAST WIGAN WN1 3AT
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Ideal commuter base within walking distance of two train stations and town centre.
Freehold bay-fronted terrace, about 964 sq ft living space
This bay-fronted mid-terrace offers a generous, well-laid-out 964 sq ft of living space with bright, open-plan reception rooms and high ceilings that retain period character. The property is move-in ready in many respects: it is fully double glazed, heated by a mains gas combi boiler and benefits from low-maintenance courtyard gardens front and rear. Two double bedrooms and a large main bedroom provide comfortable sleeping space for a couple or small family.
Location is a clear strength — both Wigan North Western and Wigan Wallgate stations are within walking distance, with direct services to regional centres, and the town centre amenities are close by. Local schooling options include several rated Good or Outstanding primaries and The Deanery Church of England High School (Good). The property’s freehold tenure and very low Council Tax band add to affordability for first-time buyers or buy-to-let purchasers.
Buyers should note some practical considerations. The area is classified as very deprived, which may affect long-term capital growth and tenant demand patterns. The building dates from the 1930s–40s and external walls are assumed to lack cavity insulation — buyers may want to budget for insulation works. Images indicate possible historic damp risks commonly associated with Victorian terraces; a survey is advised to check for damp, plaster repairs or structural issues.
Overall this property suits first-time purchasers seeking affordable, well-connected accommodation or investors looking for a competitively priced terrace near transport links. It offers scope for light cosmetic updating or targeted improvements (insulation, damp checks) to increase comfort and future value.
