Set on a decent plot in a well-regarded part of Bury, this four-bedroom link-detached home offers flexible family living across two floors. Ground-floor living spaces include a generous lounge/dining area that flows into a bright conservatory, a contemporary fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, a separate family/dining room and an integral garage with internal access and adjacent utility. A recent re-roof (circa two years) and a modern combi boiler with full service history are practical benefits for buyers.
Upstairs provides three double bedrooms and a fourth versatile room suited to guests, a home office or nursery. The private rear garden is level and attracts daylight via the conservatory, with paved patio and composite decking for entertaining and play. The property is freehold and of average overall size, built in the late 1960s–1970s era, which brings solid bones but also opportunity for updating and reconfiguration.
Location strengths include easy access to the M60/M66, frequent local bus routes, and nearby rail stations (Bolton and Ramsbottom), plus shops, parks and countryside walks. The house sits within catchment for several well-rated schools, although a couple of nearby schools are rated ‘Requires improvement’ so buyers should check current catchment boundaries and school reports.
Practical considerations: the EPC is rated D and the cavity walls are likely uninsulated, so energy-efficiency improvements would be advisable. The area shows signs of local deprivation despite a strong community feel, so prospective buyers should weigh investment in refurbishment against the wider neighbourhood profile. Overall, this is a comfortable, adaptable family home with sensible mechanical updates already done and clear potential to modernise further.
