Old Vicarage Road, Horwich, Bolton, BL6

The Home:

Detached true bungalows are an increasingly sort after sector of the market and so we would expect high levels of interest for this home.

Owned within the same family for around 45 years and benefiting from excellent ongoing maintenance. The lengthy ownership perfectly illustrates the quality of location, and it is quite common place for owners in this vicinity to settle for a long time.

The layout includes a large individual hallway and is originally designed with three bedrooms although laterally the owners had opted for two double bedrooms and used the third bedroom as a separate dining room.

The large individual reception room is positioned to the front and includes both gable and front facing windows.

The accommodation is completed with a bathroom, kitchen and timber-built garden room. There is driveway together with front and rear gardens.

The rear garden is west facing, nicely proportioned and ideal for those wishing to spend more time in the garden.

The sellers inform us that the property is Leasehold for a term of 990 years from 1st May 1959 subject to the payment of a yearly Ground Rent of £14.00

Council Tax Band E - £2660.90

The Area:

Old Vicarage Road is a high calibre address around a mile and a half from Horwich town centre and around two and a half miles from junction 6 of the M61 and Horwich Parkway train station. This station is on the mainline to Manchester and the airport.

The area manages to strike a lovely balance of these convenient amenities with superb access to the surrounding countryside and therefore the location tends to attract people who enjoy spending time outdoors. There are footpaths leading immediately from the area with access towards High Rid reservoir, whilst the nearby Georges Lane is one of the main routes towards Rivington Pike and its associated moorland.

Many locals consider Manchester and the Trafford Centre an appropriate distance to shop and socialise and is therefore another great attribute to the area.
