A substantial end-terrace with clear investor appeal: previous planning consent (A/23/94935/FULL) was granted to convert the building into three self-contained flats, making this an immediate development prospect in Ince, Wigan. The property occupies three levels including extensive lower-ground cellar space and generous reception and kitchen/dining footprints — a flexible canvas for conversion or a single-family remodel.
The house requires full renovation throughout and is sold with that in mind. Constructed before 1900 with solid brick walls and double glazing (install date unknown), it currently lacks modern wall insulation; the boiler and radiators run on mains gas and the EPC is D. Buyers should factor renovation costs, potential insulation upgrades, and any building control works when assessing financials.
Positioned on a residential street with on-street parking, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, the location offers easy access to local amenities, schools and major transport links to Wigan, Bolton and nearby motorways. The neighbourhood is in a very deprived area, which supports strong rental demand but may affect resale values. Flood risk is nil and recorded local crime levels are very low.
This is a straightforward, high-potential opportunity for an investor or developer who can manage refurbishment and follow through on the previously approved change of use. Viewing is essential to appreciate the space, cellar volume and conversion possibilities; purchasers should commission surveys and factor planning/building work into their timetable and budget.
