High Bank Lane, Lostock, Bolton, BL6

Springmount is a late Victorian detached residence positioned towards the top end of High Bank Lane, which is one of the town’s most prestigious roads and offers tranquil surroundings.

The characteristics often associated with this age of construction are perfectly illustrated in Springmount by way of the large rooms, enhanced by their high ceilings, large windows enabling excellent use of natural light together with quality traditional construction methods finished with attractive, thoughtful detailing.

A single storey extension was added during 2008 and created the large open plan kitchen and living area which is a feature high on many buyers search criteria and compliments the traditional layout of four individual reception rooms. There are family friendly characteristics such as a large utility room, integral double garage and an abundance of storage. Each of the bedrooms are a double size two include ensuite facilities. The superb second floor was extensively renovated during 2019 and lends itself to be used as a suite.

Set in a plot of around 0.7 of an acre, there is driveway parking for a good number of vehicles both to the front and rear. The larger portion of the garden is positioned to the front which is ideal due to the south facing aspect and despite the general geography of the immediate area this garden area is rather level and over the years has been used for entertaining and has been a great area for family games.

Finally, due to the substantial ground floor accommodation, the home lends itself to multi generation living where ground floor bedroom accommodation is necessary. Even with a ground floor reception room designated as a bedroom they would still be large and versatile living space.
