Full Details:
Living Space
The front porch is larger than most and provides plenty of convenient space for coats, shoes and other bits and bobs. Into the house and the central hall gives a real homely feel with a feature staircase and double height ceiling to the gallery landing upstairs. In the sloped ceiling is a large Velux window which pours plenty of light onto the landing and hall below.
The main reception room is a great size which adds to its practicality for family life, and owing to its elevated position, it's very private! At the front of this large room is the lounge where you can put your feet up in front of the fire and enjoy scenic views toward Winter Hill. A grand fireplace sits on the chimney breast and adds to the traditional, homely ambience, while to the rear of the room is the dining area where a window looks onto the landscaped back garden. Within this room is also access to a handy storage closet/room – ideal for the ironing board, hoover and other such items that need a home!
On the opposite side of the hall is another spacious room which gives versatility to its next owners. The current owners use it as a spare bedroom and home office, though the owners before had this as the master bedroom! It also benefits from scenic views to the front, and if you don’t need a third bedroom, it makes for another substantial reception room... Perhaps a playroom or TV room for the kids?
Like the reception rooms, the kitchen is a fantastic size, with a countryside cottage design that features an engineered laminate tile-effect floor, soft grey shaker style cabinetry with contrast wood-effect worktop and breakfast bar, and a Rangemaster cooker. The Rangemaster includes two electric ovens and a grill, and a five-plate gas hob with a feature tiled splash back wall and hidden extractor. There’s also an integrated dishwasher, traditional white sink with complementary chrome tap, and allocated spaces for a freestanding fridge-freezer, plus plumbing for the washer/dryer.
Bedrooms & Bathrooms
All three bedrooms are well-proportioned doubles, offering ample space for the whole family...
The versatile room on the ground floor at the front is the largest, with easy access to the family bathroom which is also on the ground floor. If used as a bedroom you can roll out of bed, draw the curtains and enjoy the lovely views! Within the family bathroom is a tiled floor and four-piece suite comprising a tiled-in bath, walk-in corner shower, wash basin and WC. It’s no surprise this room is also a great size too!
Up the lovely feature staircase to the gallery landing and more views can be appreciated through the large Velux. A three-piece shower room sits in the centre of the landing, with a tiled floor and contemporary finish. To either side of the shower room are the two other double bedrooms. In the master is a comprehensive range of fitted furniture, including wardrobes, drawers and a dressing table. The second bedroom here also includes a variety of fitted furniture, with wardrobes, drawers, and a desk.
Outside Space
The current owners have recently invested in significant landscaping for the rear garden, making excellent use of the space…
At the top of the garden with access onto Ainsdale Avenue is the double drive with electric privacy gates. Considering the central village location, it’s rare for a property like this to have private parking for two cars! The detached garage is currently split into two, creating a traditional garage-style storage room, and a versatile room with separate entrance which could be a garden office.
The garden itself is split into tiers, featuring lawns for the kids to play, mature beds, and a large private patio with pergola, providing the perfect spot for BBQs and relaxing outside on warm summer days.
Location
Situated in the sought-after village of Edgworth, this lovely property is on the doorstep of tranquil countryside with village amenities on your doorstep. The Strawbury Duck, The Black Bull and The Chetham Arms are three popular country pubs nearby. Holdens & Co village shop and the local post office are in walking distance. Edgworth’s community hub, The Barlow, provides a coffee shop, bar, library, snooker room, and children’s playground, which is next to Edgworth Cricket Club, also a great social spot. Turton Edgworth CE Primary School is also within walking distance, making it an ideal home for young families.
An even greater variety of amenities lie further afield in the neighbouring villages of Bromley Cross and Egerton in Bolton, Greenmount, Holcombe, and Ramsbottom in the Bury direction, and Hoddlesden heading towards Darwen.
The Wayoh resevoir is a favourite amongst locals for scenic strolls and walking four-legged friends, and there’s countless other countryside trails nearby, perfect for those who enjoy spending time outdoors.
Despite Edgworth’s rural setting it is a well-connected village. The M61 and M66 provide convenient motorway access, and several nearby train stations, including Entwistle and Bromley Cross offer commute by rail.
