The lounge with bay window and feature fireplace flows through to a dining room and full-roof conservatory, creating bright, adaptable living space. The fitted kitchen and contemporary bathroom are both clean and functional, while double glazing and mains gas central heating provide everyday comfort.
Outside, the rear garden has been landscaped for low maintenance with an Indian stone patio and composite decking, giving private outdoor space for children and adults alike. A generous driveway provides off-street parking for multiple vehicles — a valuable asset in this neighbourhood. The property is freehold and sits in a very low-crime, affluent area with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
Practical buyers should note the house is compact at around 764 sq ft and has a single family bathroom, which may feel limited for larger households. The EPC is rated D and the construction dates to the late 1970s–early 1980s, so buyers seeking long-term energy improvements may wish to budget for further insulation or upgrades. Schools nearby include several good and outstanding primaries, though local secondaries show mixed Ofsted outcomes.
Overall, this tidy, modernised detached property suits families or buyers seeking an easy-to-maintain home in a well-connected suburb with strong commuter links to Bolton and Manchester.
