Set on a large, mature plot in the village of Leigh, this single-storey stone bungalow offers spacious, flexible accommodation on one level. Four well-proportioned bedrooms – including a main bedroom with ensuite – sit alongside a large lounge, separate dining room, study, kitchen and utility room, providing space for family living or multi-generational use.
Outside, private mature gardens wrap the house and a long driveway provides parking for up to 6–7 cars plus a double garage with electric doors. The setting is peaceful, with low local crime, good nearby schools and typical rural views, making it suited to families or those seeking a roomy, single-level home in the countryside.
Buyers should note this property is sold via the Modern Method of Auction: there is an undisclosed reserve price, a non‑refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600) and buyer’s fees apply. The sale process is time-limited and requires completion within 56 days, and the buyer must complete due diligence using the provided Buyer Information Pack.
Practical points: heating is from an oil-fired boiler and there is an oil tank on site; the stone walls are likely uninsulated (property pre-1900) and double glazing installation date is unknown. These factors, together with an expensive council tax band, mean modest updating or energy-efficiency improvements may be needed to reduce running costs.
