Generous plot, modern finishes and excellent transport links for family life.
Five double bedrooms across two levels, flexible family living
Set on a large landscaped plot in the sought-after Higher Dunscar development, this substantial five-bedroom detached home offers flexible living across two levels and about 1,899 sq ft. The property is presented with tasteful, contemporary finishes and a light, social open-plan kitchen and dining area that opens onto a private rear garden — ideal for family life and entertaining. Practical additions include a double driveway, integral garage store, under-house storage and a utility room.
The accommodation suits a growing or multi-generational family: a principal suite with newly fitted en-suite (2025), three further double bedrooms upstairs and two further rooms on the lower level that work well as guest rooms, a hobby studio or teenage space. A separate study and two reception rooms provide dedicated home-working and playroom options. The gas Baxi combi boiler was replaced in 2021 and the loft is insulated, supporting modern living comfort.
Location is a key strength. Higher Dunscar is a peaceful residential setting with strong transport links via the A666 and nearby Bromley Cross station, plus local shops, cafes and leisure facilities within walking distance. Several nearby primary and secondary schools are rated Good, making the area family-friendly, while countryside and walking routes are close by.
Buyers should note practical facts: the house dates from 1976–82 and external walls are cavity construction with partial insulation (assumed), which may leave scope for further energy-efficiency improvements. The property sits in Council Tax band F, described as expensive. Overall, this is a well-appointed family home combining generous space, flexible layout and private outdoor space in a very desirable Bolton suburb.
