A compact Victorian mid-terrace close to Wigan town centre, offered at an attractive price for investors or first-time buyers. The house retains a period brick façade and practical layout: lounge and kitchen/diner to the ground floor, with two bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. An enclosed rear yard and small front garden complete the exterior.
The property needs modernisation—particularly the dated 1970s kitchen—and presents clear scope for improvement and rental uplift. Services are mains gas with a boiler and radiators; glazing is double but install date is unknown. Walls are solid brick and likely lack cavity insulation, which should be considered for energy-efficiency upgrades. EPC rating D and Council Tax Band A reflect current condition.
Leasehold tenure and the deprived local area classification are important factors for buyers to note; the location nonetheless benefits from excellent mobile signal, fast broadband and proximity to schools, shops and public transport. This makes the house well suited to a buy-to-let portfolio or a buyer prepared to renovate for owner-occupation.
Buyers should budget for refurbishment works (kitchen, potential insulation, and general modernisation). The building’s age and condition mean that services and appliances should be professionally inspected prior to purchase. With targeted investment, the property offers realistic income and capital-growth potential in a town-centre setting.
