This substantial five-bedroom detached house sits on a very large, private plot in Oakley Park, Bolton, offering extensive family accommodation across multiple levels. The lower level provides exceptional leisure and guest facilities — indoor pool, sauna, jacuzzi, games room and a separate one-bedroom living apartment with dining kitchen and ensuite — ideal for multigenerational living or entertaining.
Principal living spaces include split-level lounge and dining areas, a sitting room, study/sun room with balcony and a large breakfast kitchen. The master bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and an ensuite; three further first-floor bedrooms and a family shower room complete the main sleeping accommodation. Driveway parking to the front and a separate gated entrance to the rear lead to a detached double garage.
Important practical points: the house was built in the late 1960s–1970s and has cavity walls with no added insulation (assumed), so thermal upgrades could be beneficial. Double glazing was installed after 2002 and heating is from two mains gas boilers serving radiators and underfloor heating in places. The pool, sauna and plant room will require ongoing servicing and maintenance, and council tax is very expensive.
Positioned for families, the property is close to several highly regarded schools, including Bolton School, and is within easy reach of road and rail links. For buyers seeking a large, versatile house with leisure facilities and substantial outdoor space, this offers rare scale and flexibility; for purchasers prioritising low-maintenance, factor in the servicing and potential retrofit costs.
