A compact two-bedroom mid-terrace offering straightforward, contemporary living in central Widnes. The ground floor benefits from two reception rooms with an open-plan flow into a well-appointed kitchen, creating a bright, usable layout for everyday life or rental occupancy. Double glazing and neutral finishes present a move-in-ready feel while retaining scope for personalisation.
This freehold property is particularly well suited to first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors seeking low entry cost and strong transport links. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support modern working patterns; nearby shops, cafes and schools add practical convenience. The small footprint keeps running costs low and council tax is very cheap.
Buyers should note the surrounding area is classified as very deprived with higher crime levels; the street is a dense urban terrace and outside space is minimal, likely a small rear yard only. The house dates from 1930–1949 and cavity walls are assumed to have no added insulation, so further energy efficiency improvements may be needed to reduce bills. Overall, this is a pragmatic, value-driven purchase for someone wanting an affordable starter home or rental asset with immediate occupancy potential.
