Property description

**Exceptional Character Property with Spacious Plot and Interiors**

Nestled on the prestigious Church Road in the highly sought-after area of Smithills, this remarkable period family home exudes historical charm and grandeur. Originally known as Halliwell Hall, this property dates back some 300 years and holds a significant place in Bolton's heritage. The home was once the residence of the esteemed Captain Roger Dewhurst, after whom the nearby woodlands, "Captain's Clough, " were named. Around 1915, the property was thoughtfully divided into separate dwellings, creating the stunning home we see today.

Upon arrival, you are greeted by striking elevations that reflect the property's rich history. The house is set back from the road, allowing for a sense of privacy and exclusivity. As you enter, the unique character and charm of the home immediately captivate. The current owners have meticulously restored and renovated the property, preserving it’s original features while seamlessly integrating modern amenities. The interior showcases an array of architectural delights, including mullion style windows, high ceilings adorned with coving and an impressive staircase and fireplaces that serve as focal points.
Spanning an impressive 2,604 square feet, this terraced property defies conventional expectations, offering an expansive living space perfect for a growing family.

Imagine stepping into a 19th-century property, steeped in history and character, only to find yourself in a stunning, modern fitted kitchen that beautifully complements the home's period charm. The current owners opened two reception rooms in their renovation to create the kitchen you see today. This kitchen harmoniously blends contemporary functionality with traditional aesthetics, creating a space that is both timeless and up to date.

The kitchen features sleek full-length cabinetry, with a range of storage space to include cupboard and drawer space topped with elegant quartz countertops, offering both durability and a touch of luxury. The central island, a focal point of the kitchen, provides ample preparation space and doubles as a casual dining area, perfect for family gatherings or entertaining guests. State-of-the-art appliances are seamlessly integrated into the design, including a modern five ring gas hob, integral full-length fridge & freezer, dishwasher, two Neff double ovens, sunken sink with Quooker Tap for instant boiling water, sparking and mineral water, wine cooler and microwave oven. The minimalist design of these appliances ensures they do not detract from the kitchen's overall style, instead subtly enhancing the space's contemporary feel. Under-cabinet LED lighting illuminates the workspaces, and the overhead speakers are controlled via a Bluetooth panel. Both providing a practical task lighting and a warm, inviting ambiance.

The home benefits from five generously sized double bedrooms and two well-appointed bathrooms, providing ample accommodation. Additionally, the property boasts two cellar rooms, ideal for storage or potential conversion. The handy boot room just off the kitchen, has been lined with bespoke fitted storage, an ideal place to store seasonal outdoor wear & the downstairs wc services the ground floor accommodation.

Externally, the property sits on a substantial plot, featuring large lawned gardens both at the front and rear. The rear south facing garden offers a serene escape with views over the woodlands, ensuring privacy and tranquillity. The outdoor space includes Indian stone paving and a patio area, perfect for alfresco dining and entertaining.
