Summary - 161 DORNING STREET WIGAN WN1 1HW
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Large, newly renovated 2-bed terrace close to Wigan town centre and stations.
Large 1,088 sqft period terrace with coved ceilings and generous rooms
A spacious, newly renovated period terrace offering 1,088 sqft of flexible living in the heart of Wigan. Rooms are generous with high coved ceilings, two double bedrooms and two reception rooms that suit first-time buyers seeking character with modern convenience. The house benefits from a modern kitchen, a contemporary four-piece bathroom with roll-top bath and a rear sitting room with a log burner.
Practical extras include a decked terrace-style garden and a block-paved driveway providing off-street parking — a rare find for a mid-terrace. The property is centrally located, within walking distance of Wigan town centre and nearby train stations, with very low local crime and no flood risk.
Important considerations: the property is sold leasehold, and the wider area is classified as very deprived with limited local aspiration indicators. Broadband speeds are average and the local market profile is described as “constrained renters,” which can affect long-term resale and rental demand. Council tax is very cheap, which is a running-cost positive.
This home suits a first-time buyer wanting move-in ready, period character and space for a growing life. It also offers potential for future value uplift if area conditions improve, but buyers should weigh leasehold terms and local market constraints before proceeding.
