Summary - 196 Chorley New Road BL1 5AA
6 bed 2 bath Detached
Large gardens, period charm and extension potential in a sought-after school suburb.
Six double bedrooms across three floors, generous room proportions
Highridge House is an impressive Edwardian detached family home offering six generous bedrooms, abundant period detail and versatile living space across three floors. Original features such as panelled ceilings, leaded glazing, fireplaces and chandeliers create a strong sense of character, while a modern, well-equipped kitchen and a spacious garden room bring contemporary practicality to family life.
The property sits on a large, mature plot with sheltered south-facing front gardens, a private rear lawn, pergola seating, greenhouse and scope to extend at the rear subject to planning (STPP). Practical benefits include a gated driveway, a detached tandem garage and a useful utility, making the layout ideal for a busy family and for entertaining.
Buyers should factor in a couple of clear compromises: there are only two bathrooms serving six bedrooms, the EPC is D, and external cavity walls are recorded with no added insulation (assumed). The home has been lovingly occupied for decades and although many principal rooms are well presented, there is clear potential and likely need for upgrading and modernisation in parts to suit a contemporary family’s needs.
Well placed for family life, the house is only minutes from Bolton School and Clevelands Prep, with good local state primaries nearby. Transport links are strong — easy access to the A666/M61, nearby stations and regular buses — and local broadband speeds are fast, supporting home working and study.
