This two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace on Hindley Mill Lane offers an affordable entry into Wigan at a competitive price. The house has a practical layout with a modern kitchen-diner, a separate reception room, two bathrooms and a surprisingly generous landscaped rear garden with decked seating — useful for outdoor entertaining or low-maintenance planting.
The property is gas-heated via a combi boiler, fitted with full double glazing installed after 2002, and includes useful built-in storage. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, and local crime levels are very low, making the street feel secure and connected. Nearby primary schools are rated Good, which will appeal to buyers planning a family move in future.
Buyers should note a number of important facts: the home is leasehold, the building is a pre-1900 solid-brick terrace and walls likely lack cavity insulation, so upgrading wall insulation and improving thermal performance may be needed. Rooms are generally compact, so the layout suits those seeking efficient living rather than large open-plan spaces. The wider area shows signs of economic deprivation, and the nearest secondary school has an Inadequate Ofsted rating — factors to weigh for long-term plans or resale.
Overall, this is a pragmatic, well-positioned starter home or buy-to-let opportunity for someone who values low running costs (very cheap council tax), outdoor space, and straightforward maintenance, but who is prepared to invest in thermal upgrades and accept a leasehold tenure.
