Description
Step into history and heritage with this truly unique and beautifully restored five-bedroom detached residence, nestled in the heart of Belmont, Bolton. The Old Manse, dating back to 1899, is a rare gem that blends period charm with contemporary family living.
Originally built using stone from the historic Bethel Chapel, this distinguished home has been lovingly restored to its former glory by the current owners. The render was carefully removed to reveal the stunning natural stone beneath, bringing back the character and elegance of the original architecture.
Positioned to take full advantage of spectacular views over Winter Hill, the property occupies a prominent position in one of Bolton’s most desirable semi-rural settings. Two tasteful extensions have enhanced the space, creating a generous and versatile layout ideal for family life.
At the heart of the home is a bespoke kitchen designed and crafted by Churchwood Designs, using reclaimed wood from old church pews – a truly remarkable and sustainable feature that adds both charm and individuality. The property offers a seamless combination of traditional features and modern comforts, with multiple reception rooms, spacious bedrooms, and beautifully finished bathrooms.
The home also benefits from a solar panel system, offering improved energy efficiency and reduced running costs. This addition adds a valuable modern enhancement to its period character.
Set within generous, landscaped gardens, the home provides ample outdoor space to enjoy the surrounding countryside. A private driveway offers plenty of parking, with an additional triple garage offering further secure parking or storage.
Positioned to take full advantage of spectacular views over Winter Hill, the property occupies a prominent location in the picturesque village of Belmont – one of the area’s most sought-after semi-rural communities. Surrounded by rolling countryside, reservoirs, and moorland, Belmont offers a peaceful village atmosphere without compromising on connectivity.
Despite its tranquil setting, Belmont is just a short drive from Bolton town centre and enjoys excellent road links to Manchester and Preston via the A675 and nearby M61. The area is popular with walkers, cyclists, and nature lovers, with access to the stunning Rivington countryside and the West Pennine Moors quite literally on the doorstep.
Families are well served by highly regarded local schools, including Belmont Primary School and Rivington & Blackrod High School. The village itself offers a friendly local pub, café, and community amenities, while neighbouring towns provide a wider choice of shopping, dining, and leisure facilities.
This location combines the charm of rural living with convenient access to major transport routes, making it ideal for commuters seeking a countryside retreat with city connections.
The Old Manse is more than just a house – it’s a rare opportunity to own a piece of history, thoughtfully enhanced for modern living and ready to be enjoyed for generations to come.
Viewings are highly recommended to appreciate everything this exceptional home has to offer.
