Full Details:
Countryside Charm
Off Scout Road and through the electric gates down the private lane lies this secluded hamlet of stone properties with expansive views as far as the eye can see. Number 6 sits at the end of the cul-de-sac overlooking the large front lawn and fishing pond, where wild deer can often be seen roaming!
Pop off your shoes and hang up your coat in the roomy central hallway. Off to the right be welcomed into the lounge, home to a roaring log burner, this is such a cosy room! The fireplace is fantastic, with great stone slabs and an oak beam adding to that rustic country charm. When you can see the winter weather through the front window overlooking the Manchester skyline – freezing, wet, and windy – just imagine how lovely it will be in your cosy lounge, your feet are up and the fire is lit, creating a subtle crackle and lovely warming glow.
Situated on the other side of the hallway is the spacious kitchen-diner. Brick-style tiled splashbacks sit amongst beige cupboards with stainless steel fittings and a wood countertop. Integrated kitchen appliances include dishwasher, electric oven and five-plate gas hob, and the sink looks out the front window, allowing you to make the most of those views if you ever need to do a spot of washing up.
At the rear of the kitchen is the guest WC and utility, which provides a handy space for the washing machine and other bits and bobs, as well as the combi boiler.
The second lounge lies to the rear of the property where glass bifolds open onto the back patio. This room is also set up with a projector and home cinema screen! The screen comes down from the ceiling above the bifolds so the room can be a versatile space when not being used as a home cinema.
More Spectacular Views!
Up the open stairs from the lounge and a skylight streams natural light onto the landing which connects the bedrooms and bathroom. The bedrooms benefit from contemporary fitted wardrobes and the spectacular views. The master bedroom sits to the left of the house with a Juliette balcony facing onto surrounding woodland – a lovely sight to wake up to.
The bathroom is finished to a modern standard with grey tiling to the floor and walls, and it’s a generous size too! A four-piece suite includes bath, walk-in shower, WC and wash basin.
An Amazing Rural Plot
The opportunity to acquire a home with such an amazing rural plot doesn’t come round very often!
Whether it’s fishing for Carp in your own pond, growing fruit and veg in your very own allotment, or enjoying a summer's evening meal and drinks with family and friends on one of your outside patios as the sun goes down over the horizon, the country lifestyle that comes with this property is just wonderful! Not to mention the private playground and all the outdoor space the kids have at their fingertips!
Plus, the double garage provides even more space… One of the garages has been converted and is suitable for a variety of uses – possibly a home gym or office? And the one next door remains as a typical garage, ideal for storage.
A Convenient Countryside Location
Despite its scenic and rural location, the development at Horrocks Hill Farm is only a short drive to a great range of amenities, giving you the best of both worlds!
If you fancy a drink or bite to eat, a variety of well-established pubs and restaurants can be found on the country roads in the local area. Both Middlebrook Retail Park and Bolton Town Centre are only a 10/15-minute drive, providing a huge array of shops, supermarkets, restaurants, cafes, bars and pubs, as well as transport links providing access to Manchester, the North West, and beyond. For the children there’s a selection of good schools nearby, all of which are within reasonable driving distance.
And let’s not forget the amazing countryside on the doorstep – walking, horse riding, cycling, running, bird and wildlife watching… The list of the fantastic outdoor pursuits right on your doorstep goes on!
