64 Harpers Lane, Smithills Bolton

 

 

Ready to move into

Tastefully renovated throughout.

 

A charming Victorian semi detached residence situated on a tree lined  residential location offering exceptional accommodation arranged over four floors.

Dating back to 1896 where it is understood the plot was purchased.

The house was completed for occupation in approximately 1900.

 

Tasteful and Elegant and offering a wealth of character throughout.

 

The present vendors during their seven years of occupation have sympathetically modernised and refurbished their family home whilst retaining some appealing original features.

 

High ceilings, original plaster frieze detail to ceilings, stained glass and leaded windows, deep skirtings and period style ring bell to name but a few.

This has been a great family home with many happy memories, however

It is now time for the vendors to downsize and move on.
