Summary - 42 RIVERS STREET ORRELL WIGAN WN5 8NE
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Well-located two-bed semi with driveway, garden and excellent transport links.
Freehold two-bedroom semi-detached house
Set on a quiet street in popular Orrell, this freehold two-bedroom semi-detached house offers practical family living with genuine commuter convenience. The home features two generous double bedrooms, a through dining room and a sun lounge/conservatory that opens onto an enclosed lawned garden — a straightforward layout suited to everyday life.
Practical benefits include mains gas central heating, UPVC double glazing, an off-street block-paved driveway and very low local crime. The property is within walking distance of local shops, a village train station with links to Manchester, good primary and secondary schools, and easy motorway access — strong points for families and buyers who commute.
Buyers should note some material details: the EPC is grade D and the double glazing install date is unknown. The living room description flags a mold risk; a prospective purchaser should arrange a survey to check ventilation and damp control. The plot is modest in size and the house is a post‑war 1950s–1960s build, so some modernization may be wanted to achieve contemporary finishes.
Overall this is a well-presented, practical home in a comfortable neighbourhood. It will particularly suit first‑time buyers or young families seeking good local schools and transport links, and investors looking for a reliable long-term let in a sought-after commuter suburb.
