Summary - Barnsley Street, Wigan, WN6 7HN WN6 7HN
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Affordable starter house with garden and clear renovation upside.
Traditional semi-detached with original bay window and period character
A traditional two-bedroom semi on a prominent corner plot in the top end of Barnsley Street — an attractive starter home with clear scope to add value. The ground floor offers a front lounge with bay window and a spacious kitchen/diner with high-gloss units and French doors opening onto mature rear and side gardens. Two well-proportioned double bedrooms occupy the first floor; the master spans the width of the house and could be reconfigured into a third bedroom, dressing room or home office.
Practical upgrades are already in place: a recent rewire and a new boiler reduce immediate major-cost risks. Still, the house needs cosmetic renovation throughout and some fabric improvements (cavity walls installed without insulation and double glazing fitted before 2002), so energy performance and décor require attention. The corner plot provides scope — subject to permissions — to create off-road parking and extend or customise outside space to suit family needs.
Location is a strong selling point for first-time buyers: local shops, bus links, Mesnes Park, Wigan town centre and several well-rated primary and secondary schools are within easy reach. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, council tax is cheap and the area is relatively affluent, which supports future resale or rental potential.
This property suits buyers looking for an affordable entry into a popular neighbourhood who are prepared to carry out cosmetic work to unlock its potential. Be clear on tenure: this is a leasehold property — check remaining term and any ground rent or service charges before committing.
