Chain-free two-bed needing renovation close to town and park.
Mid-terraced two-bedroom Victorian redbrick house
This two-bedroom mid-terraced home on Gidlow Lane offers a straightforward opportunity for a first-time buyer or investor looking for a project in a popular residential area. The house sits within walking distance of Wigan town centre and Mesnes Park, and benefits from good commuter links, nearby schools, and local amenities.
The property retains original Victorian redbrick character externally and has double glazing and gas central heating already installed. Internally the layout is practical — two reception rooms on the ground floor, a separate kitchen and two bedrooms with a bathroom above — giving a clear canvas for modernisation or rental refurbishment to add value.
Important negatives are clear: the property requires full cosmetic refurbishment and some remedial work — damp and mould are visible in the living room, carpets and finishes are worn, and the walls are likely uninsulated. It is a leasehold with a long remainder (circa 900 years) and a nominal ground rent (£10). Buyers should factor renovation costs into their budget.
Overall this chain-free terraced house suits a buyer seeking an affordable entry into the area or an investor wanting a near-town, low-maintenance let once refurbished. Early viewing is recommended to assess scope and cost of works in person.
