Brownlow Road, Horwich, Bolton, BL6

The Home:

Considered to be one of the elite examples of this house type and offering proportions which are not readily apparent from the front.

Enjoying a lengthy list of superb original features and no doubt constructed for a senior member of the local workforce at the time.

This section of Brownlow Road offers sizable dwellings yet the accommodation on offer with the subject property is larger than many others.

There is a large individual hallway with stunning staircase, the two individual reception rooms are generous and enhanced by the large kitchen which includes the original stone flagged floor and further access into a third reception area which currently functions as a large utility providing access to a ground floor WC.

To the first floor, there are three double bedrooms served by an impressive bathroom with the impressive additional feature of natural light into the inner landing.

The schedule of works includes a new roof, each room being taken back to brick for replastering, rewire, gas central heating internal joinery and more recently, a fresh bathroom with each reception room enjoying a log burner.

The seller informs us that the property is Leasehold with a ground rent of £2.75 per annum and a lease length of 950 years from 12th May 1925.

The Area:

Brownlow Road has long been considered a popular area to reside and this particular home is not too far 'up the hill' and therefore allows easy access into Horwich centre with its vast array of largely independently owned shops and services.

The town centre is an increasingly strong feature of the area and has a great mix of pubs, cafes and restaurants which combine well with the larger out of town retail complex close to the football stadium which includes large supermarkets, cinema and train station linking towards Manchester.

This transport infrastructure is enhanced by Junction 6 of the M61 which serves the town well and many buyers are attracted to the area due to these convenient transport links, together with the lovely surrounding hills and countryside. For growing families the town has several primary schools and the choice of two secondary schools. In summary, the area offers a rather family-friendly package and an early viewing is recommended.
