Summary - 8 SCHOOL LANE ASHTON IN MAKERFIELD WIGAN WN4 0TT
3 bed 1 bath Detached
Three or four bedrooms, garage and multiple parking spaces near trains.
Chain-free detached house with decent private plot
This detached three/four-bedroom home on School Lane is offered chain-free and ready for a smooth move. The house sits on a decent plot with off-road parking for several vehicles and an integral garage, making it practical for families with multiple cars. The interior includes two reception rooms and a modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, offering comfortable living space and straightforward day-to-day use.
The location is a strong selling point: a short walk to Garswood train station with direct links into Liverpool, Wigan and Manchester, and easy road access to the M6 and East Lancashire Road. Local broadband speeds are fast, there is no flood risk, and highly rated primary and secondary schools are within easy reach—appealing to family buyers and buy-to-let investors targeting good transport and school links.
There is only a single bathroom on the ground floor, which may be restrictive for larger households; adding a second bathroom or en-suite would improve long-term practicality and value. The house dates from the mid-20th century and has double glazing of unknown installation date, so some cosmetic updating or confirmation of historical services may be needed. Council tax is band D and the property is freehold.
Overall this is a practical, well-located detached home with scope for modest improvement to increase comfort and resale value. It will suit families seeking transport links and school options, or investors looking for a stable, low-risk rental prospect in an affluent suburban neighbourhood.
