Summary - Walker Fold Farm, Walker Fold Road BL1 7PT
4 bed 3 bath Detached
Secluded hamlet setting with extensive rear views and large garden.
Approximately 2,379 sq ft of characterful living space
Set on a secluded plot in a quiet hamlet, this former farmhouse offers almost 2,400 sq ft of character-filled living space and expansive rear views. High ceilings, an original fireplace in the lounge and a farmhouse-style kitchen with Aga-style oven create a warm, traditional home ideal for family life and entertaining. The conservatory and garden room maximise the picturesque outlook, while a gated driveway and kitchen garden add practical outdoor appeal.
The first-floor layout centres on a generous master suite with dressing room and en-suite, plus three further good-sized bedrooms and a separate shower room. The property retains period stone walls and double glazing (installed post-2002), but some elements will need attention: walls are assumed uninsulated and the EPC rating is E. Heating is by oil-fired boiler, which works well in rural settings but requires ongoing fuel costs and tank maintenance.
Practical considerations: the home is leasehold with a long term remaining (approximately 943 years) and a small ground rent. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average — important for home working. Council tax is described as quite expensive. For buyers seeking a character farmhouse close to Bolton with strong schools nearby, this home offers instant curb appeal and scope to improve energy performance and connectivity.
Viewings are recommended to appreciate the scale, period detail and the sweeping rural views that underpin the property’s appeal. While comfortable now, the house presents clear renovation and modernisation potential for anyone wanting to enhance insulation, energy efficiency and digital connectivity.
