Summary - Princess Road, Ashton-In-Makerfield, Wigan WN4 9DD
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Affordable two-bed terrace for first-time buyers or investors, needs modernisation and offers upgrade potential.
Two bedrooms and two reception rooms, traditional mid-terrace layout
This traditional two-bedroom mid-terrace offers a straightforward, affordable entry to homeownership or a buy-to-let opportunity. The layout includes two reception rooms, a kitchen and a family bathroom, with UPVc double glazing and gas central heating already in place. The property sits on a modest plot with a small front garden and enclosed rear yard, typical of Victorian terraces.
The house is structurally typical of 1930–1949 construction and provides a solid basis for improvement, but it requires modernisation throughout to reach contemporary standards. There is potential to increase value by updating kitchen and bathroom fittings, improving internal finishes and upgrading insulation (cavity walls currently assumed uninsulated). EPC C is reasonable but could be improved with targeted works.
Location strengths include very low local crime, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, plus several good-rated primary and secondary schools nearby. Note practical considerations: the property is in a deprived area and has a medium flooding risk. Council tax is very low and the tenure is freehold, helping running costs and investor returns.
Viewing is recommended to assess scope and finish; the house suits a first-time buyer wanting an affordable home to personalise, or an investor seeking a letting with refurbishment upside. Be candid about renovation cost and flood risk when budgeting.
