Heber Street, Wigan

Two bedroom mid-terrace with converted loft room
A beautifully kept two bedroom mid-terrace on a characterful cobbled street in Ince, finished with real care and ready to move straight into. A cosy living room with an exposed brick fireplace, a cottage-style kitchen, two bedrooms, a modern bathroom with both bath and shower, and a converted loft room give it far more flexibility than its traditional frontage suggests, with a low-maintenance enclosed garden to the rear. A home that will suit first-time buyers, young couples and small families alike.
THE ARRIVAL
Character from the kerb
Heber Street keeps its original stone setts, and number 13 stands out along the row with its cream rendered frontage, sage green front door and crisp white windows on sage-painted sills. Step inside and a small vestibule with a patterned tiled floor leads through an oak glazed door, beneath a leaded glass fanlight, into the living room. Parking is on the street.
THE LIVING ROOM
Made for winter evenings
The living room faces the street and is centred on an exposed brick fireplace, its chunky oak beam mantel and stone hearth set into a chimney breast painted in soft blue. Built-in cupboards with oak tops fill one alcove, rustic floating shelves line the walls either side, and wood-effect flooring runs underfoot. A rope pendant light hangs from the centre of the ceiling, and a doorway leads through to the kitchen.
THE KITCHEN
Cottage charm, everyday practicality
Running the full width of the house at the rear, the kitchen pairs duck egg tongue and groove units and pewter handles with a second run of sage green cabinetry and solid timber worktops, all set against glossy metro tiling. There is a built-in Bosch oven with a gas hob, glass splashback and stainless steel chimney extractor above, a stainless steel sink with a traditional bridge-style mixer tap beneath the window, and space and plumbing for a washing machine.
A tiled pantry recess just off the kitchen takes a tall fridge freezer and shelving, keeping the main room clear. Stone-effect tiled flooring runs throughout, a door opens straight out to the garden, and the staircase rises from here to the first floor.
THE BEDROOMS
Two rooms, each with its own personality
The main bedroom is a restful double, with a deep green feature wall, wood-effect flooring and floating timber shelves either side of the bed space.
The second bedroom, at the front of the house, has been cleverly fitted to make the most of every inch, with a full-height built-in wardrobe and top cupboards, a built-in desk with open cubby storage, and a fold-down wall table. Bright and carpeted, it makes an ideal child's room, nursery or home office.
THE BATHROOM
A bath for Sundays, a shower for weekdays
The bathroom has been finished to a smart modern standard, with both a bath and a generous shower enclosure fitted with a sliding glass door, rainfall head and separate handheld shower against split-face feature tiling. There is a back-to-wall WC with concealed cistern and tiled shelf above, a vanity wash basin with storage beneath, a chrome heated towel rail and recessed downlights, all set within large-format grey stone-effect tiling.
THE LOFT ROOM
Room to spread out
Reached by a pull-down ladder from the first floor, the loft has been converted with power, heating and lighting and is brightened by two Velux roof windows. Exposed timber beams, fresh white walls and new carpet make it a genuinely useful extra space for a dressing room, home office, hobby room or somewhere for the children to play.
THE GARDEN
A garden to enjoy, not to maintain
The rear garden is fully enclosed and designed to be easy to look after. A paved patio sits just outside the back door, the natural spot for morning coffee or a summer evening outdoors, with a small lawn edged in block paving beyond, decorative gravel with stepping stones and raised timber sleeper beds. A climbing arch, timber fencing and a rear gate add privacy and access.
THE LOCATION
Close to town, connected beyond
Heber Street sits in Ince-in-Makerfield, a well-established community on the eastern side of Wigan, with local shops, schools and everyday amenities within easy reach. Wigan town centre is only a short drive or bus ride away for shopping, restaurants and leisure, and Wigan North Western station offers direct West Coast Main Line services to London, Glasgow and beyond. Ince has its own railway station on the line into Manchester, and good road links connect to the M6 and M61. For fresh air, the Leeds and Liverpool Canal towpath and the open green spaces around Amberswood are close at hand.
