Summary - 9 LIGHTBURNE AVENUE BOLTON BL1 4PL
5 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Character-filled five-bed family home near Bolton School, with parking potential and renovation scope.
Five double bedrooms across four floors
A substantial five-double-bedroom Victorian semi-detached home arranged over four floors, set in a quiet Heaton street just off Devonshire Road. High ceilings, deep skirtings, bay window and original period detail give the house strong character and a bright, airy feel. The layout includes two generous reception rooms, a fitted breakfast kitchen, external basement access and a useful lower storage/boiler room.
The house sits close to excellent schools (Devonshire Road CP and Bolton School nearby) and local amenities, with off-street parking potential from a tiered block-paved rear area and a pleasant front lawn that provides an enclosed play area for children. The property has been partly modernised: almost fully double glazed, gas central heating, and a full rewire completed and certified in October 2019 with ethernet connectivity throughout.
There are practical drawbacks to note. The upper landing and Bedrooms Four and Five require cosmetic refurbishment, and the home provides a single contemporary three-piece wet room only. It is a leasehold property with a long term remaining (circa 900–999 years) and a nominal ground rent of £5, while council tax sits at Band E (above average). Buyers should allow budget for completing cosmetic works to the upper rooms and tailoring finishes throughout.
Overall this is a character-filled family home offering flexible living space and good school catchment — well suited to growing families seeking proximity to Bolton School, or investors/householders looking for a period property with scope to modernise and add value.
