Gresley Avenue, Horwich, Bolton, BL6

The Home:

Positioned within a very popular and well-regarded, low-density cul-de-sac close to Victoria Road in Horwich. The three-bedroom detached home has been reconfigured to create an open plan dining kitchen to the rear which connects with the well-tended rear garden. There’s an individual hallway and ground floor WC and it is worthy of note that the main reception room can be laid out in a number of different ways.

To the first floor, there are two double bedrooms and a third single bedroom which includes a fitted wardrobe. These rooms are served by a modern family bathroom.

Externally, there is a driveway leading to the garage together with front and rear gardens. The rear garden enjoys an open aspect towards the cricket pitch.

Our clients have had planning passed to extend a master bedroom above the garage, reconfigure the ground floor layout and introduce a third floor. An opportunity has arisen for them to purchase an alternative home within the family which they have opted to pursue and an onward owner now has the benefit of this planning potential.  Planning Reference: PP-12800836

The Area:

Gresley Avenue is located close to Victoria Road in Horwich and therefore has excellent access towards both Chorley New and Chorley Old Roads, with their frequent bus links. Horwich centre can be accessed via a footpath leading from the development itself through Old Station Park, which also means that the playground and astro-turf pitch are handily positioned.

The commercial centre of Horwich offers a vast array of mainly independently owned shops and services and the town is able to thrive due to the excellent transport links, which include Junction 6 of the M61 and Horwich Parkway train station, which are approximately 2.5 miles away. The surrounding hills are a consistently strong feature of the town and attract many people to settle within the area and specifically those who enjoy spending time outdoors.
