Read the full agent description
Magnificent in both appearance and setting, this distinguished Georgian-style detached residence occupies one of just four individually designed homes within an exclusive private hamlet, discreetly positioned behind electric gates just off the prestigious Chorley New Road. Combining timeless elegance with exceptional privacy, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial family home standing proudly within beautifully established grounds approaching half an acre, offering enormous potential to further enhance and extend, subject to the necessary planning permissions.
Constructed in the early 1970s with striking Georgian architecture that delivers outstanding kerb appeal, the property has been lovingly maintained to create a warm and welcoming family home. Flooded with natural light throughout, the accommodation offers an excellent balance of formal and informal living spaces, perfectly suited to modern family life while retaining an abundance of character and charm.
The ground floor is centred around a spacious entrance hall which leads to three versatile reception rooms. A formal drawing room provides the ideal setting for entertaining guests, whilst the additional reception rooms lend themselves perfectly as a snug, children's playroom, home office or further sitting room, adapting effortlessly to the needs of a growing family. Completing the ground floor is a well-appointed fitted kitchen with adjoining utility room, guest WC and a delightful conservatory overlooking the gardens, providing a peaceful place to relax throughout the seasons.
To the first floor, a generous landing serves four well-proportioned double bedrooms, including an impressive principal suite with en-suite shower room, together with a spacious family bathroom.
Without doubt, one of the property's most outstanding attributes is its magnificent plot. Extending to approximately half an acre, the beautifully landscaped gardens are framed by mature trees, established hedgerows and colourful planting, creating a wonderful sense of privacy rarely found so close to excellent local amenities. The extensive grounds not only provide an exceptional outdoor environment for families to enjoy but also offer exciting scope to substantially extend the property, whether by enlarging the kitchen, adding further reception space or creating additional bedrooms with a two-storey extension, all subject to the relevant planning consents.
Positioned within one of Bolton's most desirable residential locations, the property enjoys immediate access to the excellent amenities of Heaton, including highly regarded schools such as Bolton School, an excellent selection of shops, supermarkets, restaurants, leisure facilities and convenient transport links.
Offering immediate comfort with tremendous scope for future enhancement, this exceptional residence presents a rare opportunity for discerning buyers seeking an elegant family home in an exclusive setting, where privacy, space and future potential combine to create something truly special.
