Summary - Smithills Drive, Bolton, BL1 5RB BL1 5RB
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Spacious three-bed home in a peaceful cul-de-sac, ideal for families or renovators.
Chain free with long lease (760 years) and £5 annual ground rent
This three-bedroom semi-detached home sits on a mature plot in a quiet Smithills cul-de-sac, offering classic period character with high ceilings and bay windows. The property has been with one family for decades and presents a generous, flexible layout across about 819 sq ft, with two reception rooms and a two-tiered rear garden enjoying elevated views over Heaton Cricket Club.
The house is offered chain free and has a very long lease (760 years) with a nominal ground rent of £5 per year. Practical features include driveway parking for 1–2 vehicles, fast broadband, mains utilities and easy access to local shops, parks and several well-rated primary schools — convenient for families and first-time buyers.
The home does require renovation and modernisation throughout: expect updating to kitchens, bathroom and general decorative works to bring the property up to contemporary standards. There is only one bathroom and one WC, which may be restrictive for larger households until altered. Council tax band D applies.
Viewed as a project with strong location benefits, this property offers scope to create a comfortable family home while capitalising on enduring period features and a desirable, peaceful setting. Early viewing is recommended to assess potential and required works.
