Upper Dicconson Street, Wigan WN1

Situated in the highly sought-after area of Swinley, Upper Dicconson Street presents a rare opportunity to acquire an exceptional detached period property combining grandeur, space, and original character. Nestled behind a charming walled garden, the property benefits from permit parking to the front and immediately sets an impressive tone with its inviting entrance porch leading into a grand hallway. Here, high ceilings, a beautifully tiled floor, and the original staircase evoke timeless elegance, giving a sense of scale and sophistication that continues throughout the home.

The ground floor boasts a vast lounge with a bay window flooding the space with natural light, alongside a second generously sized reception room and a convenient WC. There is direct access to the basement level, which is extensively developed to provide versatile living and working spaces. This lower level includes a separate storage area, a fully equipped kitchen, a cinema room, a modern wet room, a gym or additional bedroom, and an office—making it ideal for a range of lifestyle or multi-generational living needs.

On the main level, the farmhouse-style kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring a central island, range cooker, and an open plan layout flowing into a dining area. A conservatory with a glass roof adds further charm and natural light, perfect for relaxed family gatherings or entertaining. To the rear, lean too—previously used as a utility room—offers access to the patio and an expansive garden space with the potential to landscape into a private lawned retreat. The large garage and adjoining workshop provide ample storage and further scope for development.

Upstairs, the first floor hosts the master bedroom complete with a luxury en suite bathroom, featuring both a separate bath and walk-in shower. A further three well-proportioned bedrooms and a main family bathroom, again fitted with both bath and separate shower, are also found on this level. The upper floor reveals two additional bedrooms with Velux windows, a bathroom, and generous storage space, completing the accommodation.

With eight bedrooms spread across four thoughtfully designed floors, this remarkable property offers a rare blend of period charm and modern flexibility.
