Cottage for sale in Shepherds Drive, Horwich, Bolton BL6

The Home:

A charming stone cottage in a fantastic location which enjoys open views to the front and backing onto a lodge to the rear.

Our clients have significantly renovated the home during the last 2 to 3 years. The property is therefore ideal for those buyers looking to find a property with little ongoing maintenance.

The accommodation includes a sizable lounge which overlooks the open fields to the front. The kitchen, fitted around a year ago is a modern style and opens into a conservatory.

Both the bedrooms and bathroom are position to the first floor. The main bedroom is an excellent double size and positioned to the front which, as previously mentioned overlooks the open fields and the rear facing bedroom is a single/double. The bathroom was fitted in July 2023 and the loft can be used for storage.

A relatively rare opportunity to acquire a property within this location and an early viewing is therefore strongly advised.

The seller informs us that the property is Leasehold for a term of 999 years from October 1898 subject to the payment of a yearly Ground Rent of £9.00.

Council Tax Band C - £1935.20

The Area:

Shepherds Drive is located just off Chorley Old Road in Horwich and roughly between the Jolly Crofters and Blundell pubs. The area is therefore considered semi-rural and will no doubt appeal to those people who enjoy spending time outdoors and specifically within the hills surrounding Horwich. The town also includes an excellent transport infrastructure with the nearest motorway and rail links being close to the football stadium. Horwich Parkway train station is on the mainline to Manchester and this combination providing a balance of excellent travel links with the proximity of the countryside is a very strong feature of the town. The closest commercial centres are Horwich town centre and the Middlebrook leisure and retail complex and many local people also consider Manchester and the Trafford Centre to be within suitable travelling distance for shopping and socialising.
