Detached house for sale in Alderbank, Horwich, Bolton BL6

The Home:

Alderbank is a cul-de-sac just off James Street which in turn links to Crown Lane. Homes are only seldom placed into the open market in this vicinity and 2 Alderbank is a shining example of this given that it has been owned within the same family since its initial construction. Over the years there have been some extensions/adaptations and the design would lend itself particularly well to create an open plan kitchen and living area opening to the garden.

The current layout includes 2 individual reception rooms, a breakfast kitchen, ground floor WC and integral garage. To the first floor there are three bedrooms, the third of which is still a good size together with a bathroom and separate WC. There are excellent views towards Rivington Pike when glancing to the right-hand side at the front which serves as a reminder of the quality of location and proximity to the popular countryside.

Homes in this immediate location often appeal to a growing family looking to settle for a long term stay and we would certainly consider an early viewing essential.

The seller informs us that the property is Freehold.

The Area:

Alderbank is located close to Crown Lane which allows easy access to Blackrod train station and also towards the A6 which ultimately links into the nearby M61 motorway junction. The train station is just over half a mile away whilst the motorway link is around three miles away. This infrastructure attracts many people to the area who are looking to be within the Manchester commuter belt and combines well with the good access to the surrounding countryside which has been a strong feature of the town for many years. A simple glimpse at a satellite view of the area will illustrate the vast open green space surrounding the town.

Houses of this style often appeal to growing families and the package the town has to offer is ideal in terms of offering access to nurseries, primary and secondary schools. There is a great combination of traditional town centre shops within Horwich centre itself plus larger outlets in the renowned Middlebrook retail development which is approximately 3 miles away.
