This three-storey Victorian mid-terrace offers roomy family accommodation across approximately 1,099 sq ft, arranged as an entrance hall, bay-fronted lounge, open-plan kitchen/diner with island, two bathrooms and four double bedrooms. The house is presented with a neutral décor, a contemporary fitted kitchen, UPVC double glazing and gas central heating, making it ready to occupy for a growing family.
Its setting on Swinley Lane places everyday amenities, local parks and Wigan town centre within easy walking distance, and several highly rated primary and secondary schools are close by. Low crime, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband support family life and home working. Outdoor space is low-maintenance with a modest rear garden and a brick-built shed for storage.
Practical points to note: the property is leasehold with approximately 900 years remaining and a nominal ground rent of £7. Internal pictures and descriptions show good presentation, though some original features such as the fireplace and certain fixtures may benefit from sympathetic updating to suit personal taste. Cavity walls are recorded as “as built” with no modern insulation noted, which could be a consideration for energy improvements.
Overall this is a well-located, spacious period family townhouse that combines period character with useful modern fittings and clear potential to add further value through minor updating or insulation improvements. Offered chain-free, it will suit families seeking space near schools and town-centre amenities, or landlords targeting strong rental demand in a very affluent and low-crime area.
