Description

Tucked away on the highly sought-after Verdure Avenue, this unique five-bedroom detached freehold family home offers a rare chance to create a dream property in one of Bolton’s most prestigious residential areas.

Currently stripped back to bare brick, the home is presented as a blank canvas – ready for transformation. Planning permission has already been granted to remodel the property, including the addition of a carport to the side and a large main bedroom suite within a rear dormer extension, along with a raised roofline to enhance both space and style. See the attached plans and elevations for the approved design.

Please Note: Some images shown are computer-generated illustrations (CGIs), designed to demonstrate the property’s potential appearance once the proposed works are complete.

The Property
Behind mature hedge rows, the house sits on a generous plot with a cobbled driveway providing ample parking. A large detached double garage with loft storage and electric doors is accessed from Markland Hill, giving further parking and workshop space.

The south-facing rear garden enjoys day-long sunshine, with privacy provided by tall hedges and established planting. With a lawn, patio area, and greenhouse, it offers superb potential for family living and entertaining once the home is complete.

Location
Verdure Avenue is renowned for its tranquil setting and access to excellent schools. The property is just a short walk from the prestigious Bolton School and Clevelands Nursery and Preparatory School, making it ideal for families.

Nature lovers will enjoy weekend walks around Doffcocker Lodge, hikes up Winter Hill, and the scenic trails of Rivington Pike. Local amenities are on hand too, with Middlebrook Retail & Leisure Park only five minutes’ drive, plus Markland Hill Tennis Club close by. Local dining includes the much-loved Fanny’s Ale House, just a stroll from your front door.

AGENT NOTES:
Important Notice for Buyers
We do our best to make sure our property details are accurate and reliable, but they do not form part of any offer or contract and should not be relied upon as statements of fact. Measurements, photographs, floor plans, and any services or appliances listed are for guidance only — they may not be exact or tested.

Fixtures & Fittings
Any fixtures and fittings not specifically mentioned in the property details should be agreed separately with the seller.

Anti-Money Laundering (AML) & Buyer ID Checks
To comply with legal requirements, we must verify the identity of all buyers before we can move forward with a sale. We’ll also need proof of funds and details of your instructed solicitor at this stage. At Newton & Co, we use a trusted third-party provider to complete these checks securely and quickly. There’s a small, non-refundable fee of £25 per person (or £50 if you’re buying through a company), which is paid directly to us when you’re ready to proceed. Please note, we can’t issue a memorandum of sale until these checks are complete — so the sooner they’re done, the sooner we can help you secure your new home.

Relationship Disclosure
In line with Section 21 of the Estate Agents Act 1979, we must declare if the owner of a property is related to anyone at Newton & Co. If that’s ever the case, we’ll always let you know.

Referral Fees
We may recommend trusted partners for extra services you might need — such as conveyancing, mortgage advice, insurance, or surveys. Sometimes we receive a small referral fee for introducing you to these providers. You’re under no obligation to use them and you’re always welcome to choose your own.

COUNCIL TAXA payment made to your local authority in order to pay for local services like schools, libraries, and refuse collection. The amount you pay depends on the value of the property.Read more about council Tax in our glossary page.
