Property for sale in Duncan Street, Horwich, Bolton BL6

The Home:

This former Weavers cottage with accommodation over three floors has recently been renovated and has been finished with thought and great attention to detail.

Our clients have essentially taken the home back to its stone shell and completely updated the interior. The significant jobs include new plastering, rewiring, new pipework and radiators, renewed joinery work, together with fresh kitchen and bathrooms and new carpets throughout.

A reconfigured layout provides immense flexibility, perfectly illustrated by the cellar rooms. This space, which once would have been a hive of activity during the cottage textile industry is now two individual rooms, both including natural light with the addition of a utility zone and shower room.

The entrance level provides the primary reception room and a sizable dining kitchen which opens onto and overlooks the rear courtyard.

To the first floor, there are two double bedrooms served by a family bathroom.

These three storey stone cottages within the popular conservation area are very highly regarded and often appeal to a wide group of buyers.

Available with no chain and early viewing is considered essential.

The Area:

Duncan Street is located just off Church Street, opposite the Parish Church and is regarded as a high calibre part of the town. A key strength to homes within this area is their ability to provide access into the countryside which is possible to access just past the church. Footpaths lead into the hills that provide an impressive backdrop to the town.

Whilst these rural links are so close to hand, the town also functions brilliantly as a commuter belt towards Manchester benefiting from access to several train stations linking to the city, together with junctions 5 and 6 of the M61. The commercial centre itself includes a pleasant range of mainly independently owned shops and services and within around half a mile of the subject property there is childcare at nursery level whilst the town has several primary and secondary schools.

The nearby Chorley Old Road is a bus route linking Bolton to Chorley and commercial amenities are enhanced by the Middlebrook retail development which is close to the previously mentioned junction 5 motorway link. The retail park is around 1.5 miles away and includes a wealth of large outlets together with restaurants, cinema, gym etc. All in all, we feel that the area offers a family-friendly package.
