This charming two-bedroom Victorian end-terrace in Halton combines original period character with clear potential for improvement. Features such as original oak panelling, stained-glass entrance, a bay-windowed living room with an open fireplace and exposed stone in the bathroom give the house immediate warmth and character. The property includes a large cellar, front and rear gardens, and recent practical upgrades including double glazing (post-2002) and a gas boiler installed in 2024.
The house requires renovation: the kitchen needs modernising and the stone walls are assumed uninsulated, so buyers should expect thermal and decorating work. There is scope to convert the loft (subject to planning) and develop the cellar, which could significantly increase living space and value. Council Tax is affordable (Band C) and the tenure is freehold; the property is offered chain-free.
Set in the village of Halton on the Lune Valley edge, the location suits buyers wanting village amenities, good schools and quick access to Lancaster and the M6. Low local crime, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband make the home practical for remote workers. This is a solid opportunity for a small family, downsizer or investor willing to renovate and add value.
