Summary - 111 Dicconson Street, Wigan WN1 2BA WN1 2AX
4 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Spacious Victorian four-bed near Mesnes Park with long lease and garden, ideal for families..
Victorian semi-detached with bay windows and original features
This Victorian semi-detached house on Dicconson Street blends original period character with substantial living space across multiple floors. High ceilings, bay windows and decorative brickwork give the property strong curb appeal, and large reception rooms provide flexible family living or potential HMO layout. The house measures about 1,587 sq ft and includes a private garden, making it suitable for families who want outdoor space close to town.
Location is a key strength: Mesnes Park and Wigan town centre are within easy reach, and local schools include several rated Good or Outstanding. Broadband and mobile signal are reported as fast and excellent, supporting home working. The tenure is leasehold with a very long lease (listed as 999 years and also shown as 865 years remaining) and a nominal ground rent of £6, which keeps ongoing costs low.
Be upfront about the practical downsides: heating relies on electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, and there is a single bathroom for four bedrooms — both factors to consider for comfort and running costs. The wider area is described as deprived, which may affect future resale in the short term despite very low local crime.
The property is best for buyers seeking a character family home with scope for modernisation. It’s liveable now but offers clear renovation potential (upgrading heating, adding a second bathroom, kitchen improvements) to increase comfort and value.
