Wigan Road, Bolton,
Offers over £425,000 Leasehold

Occupying a prominent corner position with far-reaching views towards Rivington Pike, this substantial detached home offers a rare combination of space, setting and individuality.

Set back from the road, the property is approached via a generous driveway providing parking for multiple vehicles, while the open aspect to the front immediately sets the tone—offering a semi-rural feel that is increasingly difficult to find.

Stepping inside, the home reveals a versatile and well-balanced layout designed to suit both everyday living and entertaining. A well-proportioned front lounge, complete with bay window and feature fireplace, provides a comfortable retreat, while to the rear, an impressive extended living space creates a second, larger reception room filled with natural light and direct access to the garden.

From here, a striking cast iron spiral staircase leads to one of the home’s most distinctive features—an elevated sun room. This glass-enclosed space has been thoughtfully designed to maximise its position, offering panoramic views across the surrounding countryside. Whether used as a reading area, workspace or simply a place to unwind, it delivers a unique lifestyle element rarely found in similar homes.

The kitchen and dining area form the heart of the property, combining practicality with modern finishes. A vaulted ceiling enhances the sense of space, while granite worktops, integrated appliances and a breakfast bar create a functional yet stylish environment. The adjoining dining space enjoys direct access to the garden, making it ideal for both family living and hosting.

A separate utility room adds further convenience, along with additional storage and internal access to the side of the property.

To the first floor, three well-proportioned bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation. The principal bedroom benefits from fitted storage and a modern en-suite shower room, as well as direct access to the elevated sun room—further enhancing the appeal of this standout feature. A contemporary family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.

Externally, the property continues to impress. The generous corner plot offers wraparound space, ample parking and a strong sense of privacy, while the open views beyond create a setting that feels both peaceful and connected to the surrounding landscape. Additional leased land to the side further enhances the overall footprint, subject to existing restrictions.

This is a home that offers more than just square footage—it delivers character, flexibility and a feature that genuinely sets it apart from the rest of the market.

TENURE: LEASEHOLD Property is Leasehold (1000 years from 1935; payable to the Duke of Norfolk) £12 a year for the bulk of the property, £83 a year for the strip of garden on the right side.
