Summary - Houghton Avenue, Wigan, Greater Manchester, WN5 WN5 0LY
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Two-bedroom fixer in Wigan with strong transport links and renovation upside.
Freehold Victorian mid-terrace, approx. 727 sq ft
This two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace on Houghton Avenue is a clear investment prospect for buyers comfortable with a full refurbishment. The house is freehold, compact at around 727 sq ft, and offers solid transport links to nearby rail stations — useful for rental demand or resale after works. Fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and very low local crime add practical appeal for tenants or buyers.
The property requires comprehensive modernisation throughout: dated interiors, small windows, overgrown exterior vegetation and generally tired fixtures. The listing references a detached garage, but image descriptions indicate no garage; purchasers should verify this detail. The small plot and lack of a defined garden limit outdoor scope, though on-street parking is available for residents and visitors.
Located in a deprived, blue-collar terrace area, the house sits close to several ‘Good’-rated primary and secondary schools and basic local amenities, which supports family and long-term rental demand. Given the very deprived local area classification, pricing reflects the condition and location — attractive for renovators, buy-to-let investors or hands-on first-time buyers willing to upgrade.
Overall: a blank canvas with clear upside if you can manage renovation costs and accept limited outdoor space. Verify the garage situation, factor in full refurbishment work, and consider the local market when calculating potential rental yield or resale value.
