Large rear yard plus garage and driveway included

Set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Widnes, this chain-free terraced house offers a straightforward first home with clear upside. The property sits on an impressive rear yard and includes a garage and driveway — rare extras for this price band. Interiors are well-proportioned and the home was previously arranged as three bedrooms, so it can be returned to that layout if needed.
Practical benefits include freehold tenure, very cheap council tax, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for working from home or streaming. Local amenities, schools rated Good and Outstanding, and transport links are close by, making daily life convenient. The layout includes a living/dining room, kitchen, bathroom, conservatory and garden room, plus two first-floor bedrooms with potential to add a third.
Buyers should be clear-eyed about the neighbourhood context: the wider area is classed as very deprived and recorded local crime levels are very high. The plot is described as small despite the large rear yard, and some elements (external cladding, flat-roof garage) suggest maintenance or updating will be needed. This property suits buyers prepared to carry out modest improvements to realise value.
For first-time buyers or investors seeking an affordable entry with scope to add value, this house represents a practical opportunity. Early viewing is recommended to appreciate the yard, garage and the potential to reinstate a third bedroom.
