A large stone property enjoying superb open views to the rear and positioned in a generous plot with driveway and outbuilding. 4 bedrooms, two large reception rooms and modern presentation.

The Home:

A large stone built property, offering generous room proportions which are not readily apparent from the front.

The home sits within a nicely proportioned plot, include an outbuilding and a substantial driveway.

There are enviable views to the rear and the property immediately overlooks open fields.

To the first floor, there are four bedrooms, one of which is served by an ensuite with the further three bedrooms having access to the main bathroom. To the ground floor there are two significant reception rooms plus a modern kitchen.

During the last 10 years, big ticket items such as the kitchen and bathrooms have been replaced (the kitchen just around three years ago) the windows and doors also have been changed during the last 5 to 10 years.

This charming home is presented in a neutral and thoughtful manner throughout and given the scarcity of homes of this style we would certainly recommend an early viewing.

The seller informs us that the property is Freehold.

The Area:

Blackrod is a popular village within the BL6 postcode area and therefore benefits from brilliant access to key transport links such as Blackrod train station which is around 1 mile away, as is Junction 6 of the M61. As a result, many locals consider Manchester and the Trafford Centre as an appropriate distance to work, shop and socialise.

The Ofsted rated 'Outstanding' Blackrod Country Primary School is further up Manchester Road itself and it is worth viewing a satellite image of the property to appreciate the abundance of open space immediately to the front.

We find that in addition to the transport links, a strong factor attracting people to the general area is the access to this excellent countryside. The neighbouring area of Horwich has great access to a stretch of the West Pennine Moors and Winter Hill, together with large areas owned by the Woodland Trust, whilst the village itself includes access towards Haigh and the neighbouring village of Adlington which includes a stretch of the Leeds-Liverpool canal.

In terms of commercial facilities, the village includes a handful of shops and services, together with doctors and a library, with further opportunities available within Adlington, Chorley and Horwich town centres working 'hand-in-hand' with the out-of-town retail development, close to the football stadium which is a distance of around 2.5 miles away.
