The Home:

A four-bedroom townhouse located within the head of a cul-de-sac and forming part of a high calibre development in Lostock.

The bedroom accommodation is spread between the first and second floors. The master suite encompasses the entire second floor and includes an en suite shower room. Bedrooms two, three and four are located to the first floor. Both bedrooms two and three are an excellent double size. It is these bedroom proportions in particular that allows the home to stand out from the crowd when compared to more traditional styles homes which will often be designed with a small box room.

From speaking with our vendor and previous clients on Silver Birch Close it is clear that the there is a close community within the development. This has been nicely illustrated by residents who have actually moved house within the development itself. We have heard comments like 'I wish I could take my neighbours with me when I move' . Such detail reminds us that a home stretches beyond just simple bricks and mortar.

The Area:

Silver Birch Close is located to the top of Fall Birch Road just before the road becomes un-adopted. One of the strongest features of this location is the good balance of countryside access plus convenient transport links. Nearby footpaths lead into the surrounding hills and towards High Rid reservoir. Horwich Parkway train station and Junction 6 of the M61 are within approximately 1.5 miles. There are a host of shops and services within the Middlebrook retail complex close to the football stadium. This area also includes restaurants, gym, cinema and hotels and the general area also benefits from Horwich town centre which includes a good variety of independently own companies.

Education is available from a number of secondary schools including St Joseph's RC, being the nearest one, and Rivington & Blackrod High School as well as the very popular Claypool primary school. The home is also close to Chorley New Road and therefore on a good commuter route to Bolton School. The approach to the development is fringed by the second fairway of Bolton Golf Club which helps to underpin the pleasant surrounding area.
