A three-bedroom mid-terrace offering practical space and long-term security on a 949-year lease. The house has front and rear gardens, full double glazing and gas central heating via a combi boiler, making it comfortable to live in while you plan modest modernisation. At about 776 sq ft the property is compact, suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking an affordable entry into the Wigan market.
Internally the layout is straightforward: lounge/diner with a feature fireplace, kitchen with built-in units, three upstairs bedrooms and a family bathroom. Floors and fittings are serviceable but decor is dated in places, so buyers should expect cosmetic updates such as new floor coverings, kitchen refresh or redecorating to personalise the home. The property was built in the 1930s–1940s and has filled cavity walls.
Practical points to note: the property is leasehold with a very long remaining term and a low ground rent, council tax costs are low, crime in the area is described as very low and broadband and mobile signals are good. The local area is classified as economically challenged and very deprived, so nearby amenities are basic; this keeps purchase prices affordable but may affect long-term capital growth.
Overall this house is a straightforward, low-cost option for a first-time buyer wanting a liveable home they can improve over time, or an investor seeking rental income in a major conurbation. Viewings are recommended to judge suitability and scope for cosmetic improvement.
