This two-bedroom end-terrace on Bickershaw Lane is a straightforward purchase with no onward chain, suited to first-time buyers or investors wanting a hands-on project. The house offers genuine scope to add value through modernisation: a large kitchen/diner, two double bedrooms and a paved rear yard provide the layout buyers expect for flexible living.
The property requires updating throughout: the bathroom and kitchen need modern finishes, and the building appears to have cavity walls with no added insulation — improving thermal performance will be sensible. It has double glazing and a gas boiler with radiators, but the EPC is D and further energy upgrades are likely to reduce bills.
Outside, the gated paved yard gives more privacy than a mid-terrace and could accommodate off-street parking subject to checks. Practical local benefits include very low crime, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, plus nearby primary schools rated Good.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold property in a very deprived wider area and refurbishment costs should be factored into any offer. For those willing to invest time and money, the property presents affordable entry into the Wigan market with clear potential to improve comfort and value.
