Full Details for 4 Bedroom Semi-Detached for sale in Wigan, WN6 :


In an area where there is an abundance of modern homes, this traditional semi-detached residence is somewhat of a rarity, with homes of this period often being in strong demand. Few semi-detached homes could compete with the substantial accommodation on offer here, extending to in excess of an impressive 2,030 square feet, which can trump many of its detached counterparts in terms of space. St. Wilfrid’s House is situated on the highly desirable Rectory Lane and, as its name suggests, overlooks the beautiful Parish Church of St. Wilfrid, the only Grade I listed building within Wigan, and its stunning grounds, as well as other delightful local landmarks, such as a late medieval cross and stone stocks in the market place.

This thriving area has demonstrated itself to be a consistent attraction to prospective buyers, its strong sense of community, and all that it has to offer its inhabitants, in particular excellent schools and convenient motorway links, being a particularly strong pull for those looking for a location to raise their family, and it is the convenience of the location which is the property’s hallmark, being but a short stroll from the bustling village centre. A host of shops and amenities are on hand, including a Post Office, two banks and three supermarkets, whilst the outstanding St. Wilfrid’s C.E. Primary School is in view, which will be most convenient for those with little ones, whilst older children can also walk to the highly regarded Standish High School. 

The property itself infuses a real feeling of history and grandeur from the first step across the threshold, with high ceilings, decorative plasterwork and original fireplaces, to mention just a few of the delightful character features and, whilst the living spaces would perhaps benefit from some cosmetic improvement, this offers an ideal opportunity for a new owner to infuse their own taste and style, creating a bespoke home to their exacting specification. 

One enters the property via the entrance hallway with its staircase to the first floor and delightful stained glass church window, which provides a lovely feature, and proceeds through into the sizeable 16’ lounge, which is flooded with natural light via the large bay window to the front elevation. An inner hallway provides access to a further two sizeable reception rooms, offering superb flexibility to the accommodation, with potential to create a formal dining room, separate sitting room or perhaps a playroom for the children, with the largest room boasting a beautiful open cast-iron fireplace with decorative tiling. The 12’ kitchen is large enough to accommodate a dining suite and is fitted with a range of wall and base units with complimentary work surfaces, whilst there is a useful separate utility room and a cloakroom/WC.

 If one ventures up to the first floor, one continues to marvel at the space on offer, with the sizeable landing giving access to the four superb double bedrooms, as well as the family bathroom, which is fitted with a four piece suite in classic white, comprising of pedestal wash hand basin, panelled bath, separate shower cubicle and separate WC. 

Externally, the property has a lawned front garden and a low maintenance rear with trees and shrubs to the perimeter, whilst off-road parking facilities are provided on the driveway, which also provides access to the detached single garage. Available with the benefit of no onward chain.
