Affordable two-bed Victorian terrace — strong location, auction sale, refurbishment potential.
Victorian end-terrace with period brick facade and high ceilings
A compact Victorian end-terrace on Enfield Street offering straightforward, affordable entry into Wigan’s housing market. The house retains period brick character and high ceilings while providing practical features such as double glazing and mains gas central heating. Low-maintenance front garden and a paved rear yard make outdoor upkeep simple.
Well located for everyday life, the property sits within walking distance of Pemberton Train Station, local shops, primary schools rated good or outstanding, and bus links to Wigan town centre and retail parks. At about 1,011 sq ft overall, the layout comprises an entrance hall, lounge, dining kitchen, two first-floor bedrooms and a three-piece bathroom with separate shower.
Important purchasing details and material considerations: the property is LEASEHOLD and is being sold by Modern Method of Auction. The successful bidder must pay a non-refundable Reservation Fee of 4.5% (minimum £6,600) and a Buyer Information Pack fee (£349 incl. VAT). The buyer must complete within 56 days. EPC is grade D and the solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated; some updating or insulation work may be needed to improve efficiency and comfort.
This house suits first-time buyers wanting a manageable family home or investors seeking a refurbishment project in a major conurbation. Crime is reported very low locally, council tax band is inexpensive, and broadband and mobile signals are strong — practical strengths for tenants or owner-occupiers. Buyers should inspect with lenders in mind and review the auction pack before bidding.
