Summary - 22E WIGAN ROAD, ORMSKIRK L39 2AU
5 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Vacant possession near Edge Hill — great short-term rental potential.
Five bedrooms across two floors, flexible layout for HMO or family use
This five-bedroom Victorian semi-detached house sits a short walk from Ormskirk town centre and Edge Hill University, offering clear rental appeal and convenient local amenities. The property is vacant with no onward chain, so possession and refurbishment can begin quickly.
Arranged over two floors, the layout currently offers a ground-floor lounge (or bedroom), fitted kitchen and ground-floor WC, with four first-floor bedrooms and a communal shower room. Gas central heating and double glazing are in place; EPC rating D. The solid brick walls likely lack cavity insulation, so upgrading thermal performance would reduce bills and improve comfort.
The house suits investors seeking student lets or landlords aiming to reconfigure into an HMO, subject to required licences and consents. It could also be converted back into a family home with some reconfiguration. Note the property has just one bathroom, a modest overall size (985 sq ft), and sits in an area with above-average crime — factors to consider for management and refurbishment plans.
Overall, this property offers good short-term rental potential thanks to location, vacant possession and size, while also presenting clear scope for improvement and value-add through insulation, internal reconfiguration and cosmetic renovation.
