This vacant two-bedroom mid-terrace Victorian house is offered for sale by online auction and is priced to reflect its full renovation requirement. The property occupies a small plot with a rear garden and offers compact living over two floors: living room, dining room and kitchen on the ground floor, with two bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. EPC rating E and Council Tax Band A are useful running-cost indicators for future owners.
The house needs comprehensive updating: internal photos and descriptions indicate dated fixtures, peeling wallpaper, signs of damp/mould and a warm-air gas heating system. The cavity brick walls appear to lack insulation, and there is no extension potential. Buyers should expect significant refurbishment — structural issues are not reported but this is a clear fixer-upper scenario.
Practical strengths include freehold tenure, vacant possession, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, and very low local crime. The location gives easy access to local shops, bus links and Wigan town centre, plus several primary and secondary schools rated Good or Outstanding — useful for resale or letting.
Important sale details: the lot will be offered at online auction (4th December 2025) with an eight-week completion period or earlier. A buyer’s fee applies (amounts specified in the legal pack) and the seller may charge additional completion fees; bidders must review the legal documentation before participating. This property will suit investors or hands-on buyers prepared to carry out a full refurbishment for rental or resale.
