A rare opportunity to acquire a detached home in an excellent plot size adjoining fields to the side and rear and within a prime residential area plus stunning views towards Rivington Pike. There may be scope for further extension/re-development subject to the usual planning consents. Early viewing strongly advised.

The House:

A fantastic and rare opportunity to purchase a detached home which is situated within a generous plot of around 0.224 of an acre and located in a very high calibre semi rural location with open fields to the side and rear plus a superb view of Rivington Pike and the surrounding hills.

The property would no doubt suit those downsizing from a large home but wishing to retain large gardens and a high quality location. There is also great potential to work with the existing structure and gain planning permission to extend and thus create a house tailored to a buyers own style and specification. Equally, a buyer my consider wholesale redevelopment of the plot where the location can support selling figures in excess of £1M.

The current layout includes a lounge and breakfast kitchen to the ground floor and two bedrooms plus bathroom and separate shower room to the first floor. Either the shower room or bathroom could easily be sacrificed to create an additional bedroom. 

We are advised that the property is Freehold and council tax band E
