This bay-fronted semi-detached house offers straightforward, affordable living in Long Lane, Warrington. The property includes two bedrooms, a conservatory overlooking the rear garden, off-road parking and a single garage — practical features for a first home or small family. The long lease (900 years) and nominal ground rent (£5/year) make ownership simple and predictable.
Internally the rooms are average-sized with original mid-20th century detail such as a bay window and fireplace. The layout is functional: entrance hall, lounge, kitchen/diner with utility/store, conservatory and a family shower room upstairs. The property will suit someone prepared to update finishes and fixtures — cosmetic and modernisation work is needed rather than major structural overhaul.
Location strengths include quick access to Warrington town centre, nearby schools rated Good, and road links to the M6/M62. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, making the house suitable for remote working or connected family life. Practical downsides: the property sits in an area with high crime statistics and high deprivation, and there is a medium flood risk to be considered. These are important factors for buyers to assess alongside the purchase price.
Overall this is a budget-friendly, chain-free opportunity with renovation potential and low ongoing tenure costs. It will appeal to first-time buyers or investors seeking a manageable two-bedroom home close to town amenities, provided they account for local area issues and some updating is planned.
