Light and practical, this two-bedroom first-floor apartment on Gillibrands Estate offers a compact, well-laid-out home ideal for couples or first-time buyers. The open-plan kitchen-living area provides a sociable space with an integrated hob/oven and double glazing throughout. The property extends to approximately 518 sq ft and benefits from an EPC rating of C and gas central heating via boiler and radiators.
Externally there is a gated shared lawn to the front and a designated off-street parking space to the rear—useful extras in a busy residential area. The lease has around 135 years remaining, with an annual service charge of £900 (below average) and a ground rent of £260. Council tax is very low, which helps running costs.
The flat sits close to local shops, bus routes and Chorley train station, with easy road access to the M61 and M6 for commuting to Preston, Wigan and Manchester. Nearby schools include several rated Good and Outstanding, which will suit couples planning for children or investors targeting family tenants.
Practical considerations: the neighbourhood records higher-than-average crime and the wider area shows signs of deprivation. The apartment is modest in size and may suit those wanting a low-maintenance base or an affordable entry onto the local market rather than buyers seeking generous living space. There is straightforward potential to modernise the kitchen and bathroom to add value, but no major structural issues are indicated.
