Summary - 4 HORROCKS HILL FARM, SCOUT ROAD, BOLTON BL1 7NZ
4 bed 2 bath Not Specified
Spacious rural family home with panoramic views and private grounds.
Exclusive gated community of seven homes
Set within a gated enclave of seven homes, this four-bedroom barn conversion combines period character with generous family living. Exposed beams, solid wood floors and bespoke joinery create warmth, while large windows and countryside vistas bring natural light and calm. The principal suite occupies the entire top floor, offering privacy, extensive eaves storage and an en suite — a clear family retreat.
The heart of the house is a large open-plan kitchen and dining area designed for entertaining and everyday life. Appliances are in place and the layout suits gatherings; the cosy living room with a Stovax log burner adds seasonal charm. Practical touches include a Nest thermostat, double glazing and a convenient ground-floor WC.
Practical strengths include a sizeable double garage with electric doors, tiled floor and boarded attic — useful for storage or potential conversion to a home studio or gym. A long lease (978 years) and modest ground rent (£175) reduce long-term tenure concerns. Landscaped communal grounds with a pond provide safe outdoor space for children and uninterrupted views towards Manchester.
Notable drawbacks are factual and important: broadband speeds are very slow, which may hinder remote working or heavy streaming. Council tax is described as expensive. The property’s original stone walls are assumed to lack insulation, so buyers should budget for potential thermal upgrades. Tenure is leasehold; purchasers should verify all lease details and costs with their legal adviser.
