Approximately 1.5 miles from Horwich town centre and just over 2 miles from the nearby retail and leisure development
Fringe of countryside
Whilst offering two double bedrooms, prospective purchasers should note that this is far from a typical two bedroom home. The overall square footage is more closely aligned with many three bedroom semi detached properties, providing a notably spacious feel. Both bedrooms benefit from fitted furniture, complemented by a dedicated airing cupboard and excellent under stairs storage.
The ground floor layout has been designed with practicality in mind, featuring a separate entrance hallway, which creates a more private and efficient living environment, together with the added convenience of a ground floor WC.
A particular highlight is the generous plot. Occupying a superb position at the head of the cul de sac, the property enjoys extensive outdoor space that offers excellent potential for extension, subject to the necessary consents, whilst still retaining a sizeable and attractive garden. This combination of plot size, presentation and future potential makes the property a rare opportunity within the local market.
The sellers inform us that the property is Freehold.
