Description

This semi-detached residence in Westhoughton presents a valuable opportunity for first-time buyers, families, or investors looking to enhance their portfolio. Set on a generous plot with gardens adorning three sides, the property is primed for personalisation and improvement. With two bedrooms and two reception rooms, the layout is functional and offers potential for extension, catering to modern living needs. Situated conveniently near Westhoughton Centre and transport links, it ensures easy access to local amenities and major roadways including the M61 motorway. While the home is currently in good condition, it requires some modernisation and cosmetic updates that would allow new owners to truly make it their own or prepare it for rental purposes—an attractive prospect considering the strong demand for rental properties in this region. The accommodation features an entrance porch leading into a hallway, a front-facing lounge with a bay window, and a dining room with access to the kitchen which includes basic storage units and leads out to the rear garden. The upper floor hosts two spacious double bedrooms alongside a three-piece bathroom suite. Outside, enjoy outdoor space perfect for gatherings complete with a patio area and shed, plus off-road parking available for multiple vehicles. Given its potential and location, this property stands as an appealing choice not likely to remain on the market for long.
