This three-bedroom semi-detached house on West Bank Street offers an affordable entry into Widnes with sensible running costs and good digital connectivity. The property, built around 2003–2006, has double glazing, mains gas central heating and a compact but usable garden with driveway parking — practical features for first-time buyers or investors seeking a straightforward home.
The interior is bright and well-proportioned for its overall size of about 797 sq ft, with a single reception room, a modern-feeling kitchen and one bathroom. Nearby schools, parks, frequent bus routes and cycling paths provide everyday convenience and easy commuting. Broadband is fast and mobile signal excellent for remote working or streaming.
Buyers should note material negatives: the property is leasehold (131 years remaining) with a modest service charge of £135, it sits in an area classed as very deprived with very high local crime rates, and total living space is relatively small. There is only one bathroom and potential buyers wanting more space or privacy may need to consider reconfiguration or extension (subject to planning).
Overall, this is a practical, low-cost home with sensible energy features and good transport links. It suits buyers prioritising value and location over large internal space — or landlords seeking a rental in a well-connected area. Any purchase should factor in the local area challenges and the leasehold status.
