This substantial seven-bedroom semi-detached house sits on a very large plot in a desirable residential area off Chorley New Road, close to Bolton School and Lostock train station. Set over multiple floors with original Victorian features and high ceilings, the home offers generous living space (c. 2,906 sq ft), a cellar with two rooms, and a south-facing split-level rear garden — strong bones and scope for modernisation.
The property will be sold at auction and is offered freehold; successful buyers should be prepared to pay deposits and fees immediately and to comply with auction terms. The house needs renovation throughout and has an EPC rating of G; refurbishment will allow significant value uplift, particularly given the size, location and excellent transport links (M61 and local station).
Practical positives include off-road parking, a garage, mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators, double glazing (install date unknown) and very low local crime. Important practical drawbacks: the home requires renovation, may lack cavity wall insulation (solid brick as built), carries a high Council Tax band (G) and will incur auction administration fees and any disbursements in the legal pack. Buyers seeking a family home or an investor ready to refurbish will find clear potential here.
