This well-presented three-bedroom semi sits on Park Road in Westhoughton and is an appealing choice for families seeking space and good local schools. The ground floor has a bay-fronted living room and open-plan kitchen/diner that opens onto a deceptively spacious rear garden — ideal for children or outdoor entertaining. A modern bathroom and integrated kitchen appliances add everyday convenience.
Practical strengths include a large driveway with space for multiple cars, gas central heating, and double glazing. The property is competitively priced and lies close to strong primary schools, local shops and excellent travel links including the M61, making commutes straightforward.
Buyers should note this is a long leasehold (about 920 years remaining) with a very low ground rent (£11pa) and a low council tax band. The house is solidly built (pre-1900 construction) and totals around 986 sq ft, offering sensible family accommodation across two floors.
Material considerations: the building has solid brick walls assumed without insulation, and the double glazing was installed before 2002, so thermal performance may lag modern standards. There are some dated elements and signs of roof moss that suggest modest maintenance or updating will be required to reach modern energy and finish levels. Overall, this is a practical, well-located family home with clear potential for targeted improvements.
