This three-storey Victorian mid-terrace offers flexible family living across generous rooms and retains period character, including a bay-fronted lounge and high ceilings. The open-plan kitchen/diner with island and French doors opens to a low-maintenance rear garden and an external brick store, suiting family life or a high-demand rental.
The house is well presented with neutral décor, double glazing and gas central heating. It sits in a sought-after, very affluent suburb within easy walking distance of Wigan town centre, parks and several highly rated schools — a practical location for families and professionals.
Practical points: the property is leasehold with c.900 years remaining and a nominal £7 ground rent. The plot is modest — small overall size and average rear garden — and the mid-terrace form limits external expansion. The walls are assumed cavity construction with no added insulation, so further thermal upgrades are possible and could add future value.
Offered chain free, the house presents good scope to modernise parts of the interior to buyer taste while benefiting from immediate occupancy or letting potential. Early viewing is recommended to appreciate the room proportions and adaptation potential on site.
