3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Temple Road, Smithills, Bolton BL1

Owned by the same family for many years, this semi detached home is offered to the market with the added advantage of no onward chain.

Temple Road is a well established and consistently popular residential address, running parallel with Moss Bank Way and conveniently positioned close to the junction of Smithills Dean Road and Halliwell Road. The location provides excellent access to the wide range of everyday amenities, shops, supermarkets and transport links available along Halliwell Road, together with nearby schools and recreational facilities.

The accommodation is arranged in a traditional layout, comprising an entrance hallway, two separate reception rooms and a galley style kitchen. Buyers looking to create a more contemporary layout may wish to explore opening up the rear of the property to form an open plan kitchen and living space, subject to any necessary consents. Alternatively, the existing arrangement will appeal to those who prefer clearly defined living areas.

Externally, the property enjoys a particularly generous rear garden, offering ample outdoor space together with potential for future extension, subject to the relevant planning permissions and building regulations.

The property would now benefit from a programme of general modernisation, and this has been reflected in the asking price, presenting an excellent opportunity for purchasers to update and personalise the home to their own tastes and requirements.

We await information from the seller regarding the Leasehold. Currently we are advised that the property is Leasehold with approx. 920 years remaining on the Lease.
