Stunning elevated views towards Rivington from rear gardens

This Victorian mid-terrace offers generous, vertically extended accommodation across three levels — two double bedrooms plus a loft room — and unusually large overall floor area for the street. The rear gardens include a block-paved driveway (parking for two cars), a lawned garden with deck and summerhouse, and elevated views toward Rivington, giving a rare blend of outdoor space and countryside outlook in Westhoughton.
The house has been partly modernised internally (open-plan lounge/diner, modern fitted breakfast kitchen) but importantly requires further updating and ongoing maintenance. There are reported signs consistent with an older solid-brick property: potential damp/mould risk and possible roof issues; insulation appears limited. Buyers should factor renovation costs for full modernisation, heating upgrades, and any necessary roof and damp remedial works.
Practical strengths include mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, double glazing installed since 2002, off-street parking and excellent mobile signal. Broadband speeds are very slow in the area, which may affect home-working plans. The neighbourhood is quiet with very low crime and good access to major transport links and retail at Middlebrook, plus several nearby schools rated Good.
This property suits first-time buyers or buyers seeking a renovation project with immediate living space and strong upside from improvements. Viewings are recommended for anyone who wants a sizeable terrace with outdoor parking and countryside views, but budget realistically for refurbishment and damp/roof investigations prior to purchase.
