**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.
