Set on Chapel Street in Wigan, this two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace blends period character with modern convenience. The ground floor offers a cosy lounge with a fireplace and a compact, contemporary kitchen fitted with appliances. Upstairs are two well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom; the layout suits a first home or a buy-to-let purchase.
Practical running costs are helped by very cheap council tax and mains gas heating via a boiler and radiators. The house benefits from double glazing (installation date unknown) and a low-maintenance rear garden with a decent plot size for outdoor sitting or storage. At about 805 sq ft overall, the property is an average-sized urban home with straightforward living spaces.
Location is a key asset: local shops, restaurants and amenities are within walking distance, and quick access to the M58 makes journeys to Manchester and Liverpool straightforward. Several primary and secondary schools — including an Outstanding primary — are nearby, which will appeal to buyers with young children.
Notable considerations are the building’s solid brick walls, which are as-built and likely lack cavity insulation, so buyers should expect potential improvement costs to raise thermal performance. The wider area registers as deprived with a local classification of hampered aspiration; buyers should weigh local market values and rental demand carefully. Overall, this is a practical, affordable terrace offering immediate move-in potential with scope for energy-efficiency upgrades.
