## Description

Bought by our clients just under two years ago from a reputable local builder - at the time this property had undergone an extensive & complete renovation, resulting in a stunning traditional home that was effectively like a new build. Everything from the walls, to the ceilings and floors were removed & replaced. Our clients have subsequently improved and redecorated the home in parts & the presentation on show here must be seen to be appreciated. The layout is superb, with the remodelled ground floor in particular boasting a contemporary open plan dining room which flows nicely into a stylish fitted galley kitchen. To the front there is a hallway, and a separate lounge. Upstairs there are two bedrooms and a beautiful modern bathroom suite. Externally there are landscaped gardens to the front and rear. The rear is walled, private and has a small decked area with a flagged garden patio.  Posiitoned exactly 1 mile from Wigan Town Centre, with many shops / amenities all within walking distance. Internal inspection is highly recommended.
