Description
An impressive, individual four double bedroom, three reception room detached property with a generous drive and excellent south facing garden. There is potential to create open plan living if desired, and it is also well configured for the creation of individual reception rooms.
Believed to have been constructed during the 1930s and extended to both floors around 10 years ago, it is fair to describe the property as having great depth, front to rear, and therefore the square footage is not readily apparent from the exterior.
There are four double bedrooms with the master being a particularly strong feature due to its size, vaulted ceiling and excellent use of natural light. The room is complemented by a large ensuite.
The ground floor includes three generous reception rooms, individual porch and hallway, plus downstairs WC and separate breakfast kitchen. This layout has suited the current owners, but it is important to know that there would be scope to reconfigure this ground floor in a number of ways.
If true individual reception rooms were to be a priority, then this could be relatively easily achieved. If an open plan kitchen and living space is high on the agenda, then reworking the configuration of the rooms at the rear would create this without the need to further extend the footprint.
In summary, we regard this property as an excellent family home, positioned in an area which allows great access to open countryside, local schooling and shops.

The home is located in a particularly convenient position which allows for superb access to both motorway and train links. Both junction 6 of the M61 and Horwich Parkway train station are just over 1 mile away. There is also excellent access to both primary and secondary schools.
The area is ideal for access to nearby amenities such as Middlebrook Retail and Leisure Park, housing over 60 high street names, just over 1 mile away, whilst Horwich centre is around 2 miles away.
The general area is equally well placed for the excellent outdoor facilities the town has on offer. A simple satellite view of the location nicely illustrates this. Georges Lane for example, which is a primary route towards Rivington Pike and the surrounding hills is around 1.5 miles away. The town includes a nice variety of sports facilities including rackets and sports clubs, gyms and golf courses etc.
In summary, the area has long been well regarded, largely due to the excellent balance of access to amenities, countryside and transport links alike and we would certainly recommend an early viewing.
