This spacious Victorian bay-fronted terrace offers 1,055 sqft of flexible living space arranged over two floors — an attractive starter home for first-time buyers wanting room to grow. The house is offered chain free and sits on a popular main road with convenient bus and rail links to Wigan, Liverpool and Manchester.
Internally the property retains period features such as high ceilings, ornate coving and a large bay window, but it requires cosmetic updating throughout. The layout currently provides two very large double bedrooms and a substantial bathroom, with straightforward potential to reconfigure into three or four bedrooms or convert the loft to increase value and sleeping capacity.
Practical benefits include gas central heating, a full rewire carried out about five years ago and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal. Externally there are small front and low-maintenance rear gardens, with scope to create off-street parking if required. The freehold tenure and low council tax further support affordability.
Buyers should note the property needs renovation and modernisation to reach its full potential and sits in a wider area classed as very deprived, although immediate crime levels are very low. A viewing is recommended to appreciate the generous room sizes and the resale or rental upside after sympathetic refurbishment.
