Positioned within a large plot with long driveway and detached garage. Open aspect towards Rivington Pike and the hills to the rear. Available with no chain and with great scope for modernisation and extension.

Owned within the same family since around 1959 and positioned in a superb plot which includes a large, private garden to the rear, together with distant views towards Rivington Pike and the surrounding hills.

The accommodation is generally as it was when first constructed and therefore allows great potential to extend subject to the usual permissions. Even with an extension, the plot would remain an excellent size.

The ground floor accommodation includes an entrance porch, individual hallway and two separate living rooms with a modest sized kitchen. The kitchen and rear living room are parallel and therefore offer great potential to create an open plan space.

To the first floor there are three bedrooms, two of which are an excellent double size and served by the generous family bathroom.

Our seller advises that the property is Leasehold for a term of 990 years from 22nd September 1932 - Ground Rent to be confirmed.  The land adjoining 315 Manchester Road, Blackrod  is also Leasehold for a term of 990 years from 22nd September 1932.

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 under 1 mile away and junction 6 of the M61, just under 2.4 miles away. 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 just 0.4 of a mile further up Manchester Road itself and it is worth viewing a satellite image of the property to appreciate the abundance of open green space in the vicinity.

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 a doctors and a library. Further afield we find Adlington, Chorley and Horwich town centres working 'hand in hand' with the out of town Middlebrook retail development which is close to the football stadium and a distance of around 3 miles away.
