Markland Hill Lane, Heaton, Bolton, BL1

An exceptional home and a lovely example of a late Victorian semidetached which has been painstakingly modernised to retain popular period features but also reconfigured to embrace contemporary living choices.

The open plan kitchen and living area which opens to the garden and is position to the rear is a perfect example of how the different periods have merged.

Characteristics such as high ceilings, large windows deep skirting boards and original doors with chunky architraves will no doubt resonate with those with a love for this style of property.

An elegant hallway provides access to both the individual living room to the front and the open plan space to the rear. Practical characteristics such as a separate utility and downstairs WC help the property achieve a family friendly layout. To the first floor there are three double bedrooms two of which are served by ensuite shower rooms together with a further separate bathroom. The property also benefits from underfloor heating throughout.

As it stands, the exterior has been designed to include a number of distinct zones and there is also a detached garage and separate workshop. These buildings offer great scope for conversion and would be ideal as a home office for example.

It is also important to know that the plot is wide, and this should offer a scope for further extension if desired (subject to the usual consent).

Homes of this style within Heaton often generate strong levels of interest and an early viewing should be considered essential.

The sellers inform us that the property is Leasehold for a term of 999 years from 01.05.1898 subject to the payment of a yearly Ground Rent of £2.50
