Summary - Plodder Lane, Farnworth, Bolton, Lancashire, BL4 BL4 0JY
3 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Family-friendly plot with garage — ideal for upgrading and extending.
Three bedrooms and two reception rooms, traditional 1930s bay front
A traditional 1930s semi with three bedrooms, two receptions and genuine curb appeal on a very large plot. The house offers a driveway, integral garage and generous front and rear gardens — rare for the area — giving scope for outdoor living or future extension (subject to planning). Broadband and mobile signals are strong and crime levels are very low, useful practical benefits for families.
Internally the layout is conventional and family-friendly: entrance hall, two reception rooms, downstairs WC, separate upstairs WC and a modernised shower room. Bedrooms are light and the reception rooms feature bay windows that retain period character. The shower room has been updated, however the kitchen remains dated (1980s units) and would benefit from renovation to unlock better daily functionality and resale value.
Important practical facts: the property is leasehold with 999 years remaining and a nominal ground rent of £3.50 per year. Council tax band is affordable. The overall living area is small (around 471 sq ft), so buyers should note space is compact for a three-bedroom home; the large plot helps offset this with outdoor potential. The surrounding neighbourhood is an endeavouring social-renter suburb with some area deprivation — local schools are generally rated Good and amenities are close by, making it suitable for growing families seeking value and scope to improve.
This home will suit buyers looking for an affordable family property with outdoor space and parking, who are prepared to carry out cosmetic or kitchen upgrades. It also offers potential for longer-term improvement or extension (subject to consents) given the substantial plot and traditional layout.
