The Home:
A very well-maintained home where our client has been settled for around 35 years during which time there has been thoughtful extension work and excellent, ongoing maintenance.
The ground floor accommodation was a very pleasant surprise during our first visit as there are two individual reception rooms, plus a conservatory and in addition to this a dining kitchen.
The current design includes the pleasant traditional feature of an individual hallway, but it is worthy of note that the wall between the lounge and the hall is a partition and could be removed should a bigger front reception room be desired. It has also been possible to create space for a ground floor WC.
To the first floor, there are three bedrooms served by a most impressive shower room. Please note that bedrooms one and three include fitted furniture.
There is off-road parking to the front which we have found to be an increasingly important characteristic given the increasing trend for electric vehicles and the rear garden has been very well cared for.
Such homes tend to appeal to a broad group of purchasers from those seeking their first home, downsizing from a larger home or those chasing popular school catchment areas.
Our vendor advises that the property is Leasehold for a term of 990 years from 1923 subject to the payment of yearly Ground Rent of £3.20
Council Tax Band C - £1,903.18
The Area:
Many people look to buy within this popular vicinity of Heaton, due to the local schools that have served the area for many years. Bolton School is particularly convenient and includes a nursery through to education at a-level stage. There is a vibrant social aspect to living in the area with popular local cafes, pubs/restaurants, and racquets/sports clubs. The proximity of Lostock train station and junctions 5 & 6 of the M61 attract many people who wish to work or socialise towards Manchester. For those who enjoy spending time outdoors there is a local nature reserve surrounding Doffcocker Lodge, and High Rid reservoir, which are ideal for dog walking etc, whilst much broader countryside can be found from the top of Old Kiln Lane onwards and becomes something of a gateway towards the West Pennine moors. For shopping, Middlebrook Retail Park is approximately 4.5 miles away, providing a range of shops, sport & leisure facilities – bowling, cinema, and football stadium.
