Summary - 242 BOLTON ROAD BURY BL8 2PA
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Character-filled two-bedroom home with garage and low-maintenance garden.
Nearly 1,000 sq ft of Victorian period accommodation
A substantial Victorian mid-terrace offering almost 1,000 sq ft of accommodation in a well-connected BL8 location. High ceilings, bay window and original fireplaces give strong period character, while a contemporary kitchen and an immaculate four-piece bathroom provide comfortable, ready-to-use living.
The house has two large double bedrooms, two reception rooms and a low-maintenance paved rear garden with a detached garage — useful for parking or storage. Gas central heating and double glazing are in place. The long lease (999 years from 1881) and nominal ground rent reduce common leasehold complications.
Practical considerations: the building is solid-brick Victorian and likely lacks cavity wall insulation, so further thermal improvements may be beneficial. The property will be sold at auction via the modern method: a Buyer Information Pack is required, and the purchaser must pay a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the price, subject to a minimum). Allow for the 56-day reservation/completion period and associated auction costs when budgeting.
This house suits buyers seeking a spacious period home with strong character and renovation potential, or investors looking for a lettable property in a major conurbation with very low local crime and good transport links. Local schools range from 'Requires improvement' to 'Outstanding', and amenities are within easy reach.
