Description
This two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow is set on a generous plot in a semi-rural location near Shevington and Standish. The accommodation includes a hallway, a spacious lounge, a separate dining room, a kitchen and a family bathroom. A driveway provides off-road parking, and the property has established gardens with mature trees and shrubs.
The house requires extensive renovation and modernisation, including comprehensive work to the kitchen and updates to the bathroom and living spaces. The separate reception rooms offer scope to reconsider how the interior is arranged, subject to structural considerations and any required permissions. The single-storey layout and substantial outdoor space provide a starting point for a refurbishment project.
Local amenities are available in Shevington and Standish, with further services in Wigan, Chorley and Skelmersdale. Appley Bridge and Gathurst railway stations, local bus routes and road links including the M6, A49 and A5209 serve the surrounding area. The property is marketed for cash buyers only.

Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £130,000, this two-bedroom bungalow is priced well below the local £/sqf benchmark, making it an attractive entry point for a buyer looking to acquire and reshape a property. The separate reception rooms, generous garden and driveway give the project useful scope, while the tired interiors, exposed masonry, worn floors and very basic kitchen offer plenty to improve. The visible tiled roof has no obvious major failure, though the cause and extent of wall staining and damaged finishes need investigating.
This is a full-scale project rather than a cosmetic update, with the £45,000–£75,000 works range pointing to a substantial programme. Even at the asking price, purchase plus the renovation midpoint looks tight against local value benchmarks, so the low entry price is a strength but the overall economics need careful budgeting.
Key opportunities
- Rework the separate reception rooms and adjoining kitchen into a more cohesive layout, subject to suitable checks and any required permissions.
- Replace the basic kitchen and renew the worn finishes, flooring and wall surfaces to create a consistent interior.
- Clear and reshape the overgrown garden and driveway edges to make better use of the generous plot and parking.
Key risks
- Peeling and discoloured finishes, exposed masonry, damaged plaster and wall staining across several rooms need investigation to establish the right remedial scope.
- The £45,000–£75,000 works range makes this a substantial strip-back and refurbishment programme, with budget and timings well beyond a cosmetic refresh.
