Description
Offered with no onward chain, this attractive and highly versatile home is arranged over three well-planned floors and is tucked away within a quiet cul-de-sac in a sought-after private development at the foot of the West Pennines. The accommodation can be configured as two or three bedrooms to suit individual needs and features a stylish open-plan kitchen, dining and living space to the ground floor, making it ideal for modern living.
This characterful home forms part of one of the original buildings within the former Arcon Village Bleaching Works, thoughtfully converted as part of a carefully planned regeneration of this historic site. The property was completed during a later phase of the development and was originally sold as a new conversion in 2011.
The accommodation is particularly flexible and well balanced, making the property suitable for a wide range of buyers, including families, professionals and those seeking adaptable living space.
To the ground floor, an inviting entrance hall leads to a downstairs WC and a superb open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, designed with modern lifestyles in mind. The kitchen is well equipped with integrated appliances and benefits from a useful pantry/store, adding to its practicality.
The first floor offers a generous and versatile room that could serve equally well as a spacious living room or a substantial double bedroom, alongside a family bathroom.
The top floor provides two additional bedrooms, one of which enjoys the benefit of an en suite shower room, creating an excellent principal bedroom suite.
Externally, the property benefits from allocated parking to the front, while the beautifully maintained communal grounds wrap around the development and provide an attractive setting. These landscaped areas, combined with the conservation-area location, truly set this development apart and enhance its appeal.
The sellers inform us that the property is Leasehold for a term of 999 years from 1st September 2004 subject to the payment of a yearly Ground Rent of £150
Council Tax is Band D - £2,297.19
Arcon Village is a Grade II listed former bleaching works which was redeveloped by Redrow Homes to an extremely high standard. It is a rather unique development with a strong community of residents. There are some pleasant communal gardens together with superb access towards Wilderswood and the West Pennine moors; in fact, footpaths leads directly from the development into the countryside and into the town centre. Horwich boasts an excellent transport infrastructure combining mainline train links together with junction 6 of the M61. There are also many independently owned shops and services within the town centre. We would encourage any intending purchaser to have a walk around the development to appreciate the high calibre surroundings, and the homes will certainly appeal to the discerning buyer.
