Offering something a little different in the terraced world and presented to an excellent standard throughout.

We feel the main characteristic allowing this property to stand out from the crowd is the specific location itself which is just off the thoroughfare through the village and within a mix of dwellings including similar terraced homes, older cottages and high value detached.

The homes to the rear are bungalows which provide a greater level of privacy that would otherwise be anticipated, and the property is not directly overlooked at the front.

The two double bedrooms are served by an impressive modern bathroom whilst the ground floor includes an individual hallway, lounge with access to a good under stairs store plus dining kitchen to the rear. There is an enclosed rear courtyard area plus off-road parking.

Such homes often generate good rates of sale and an early viewing should be considered essential.

The sellers inform us that the property is Leasehold for a term of 999 years (less 10 days) from 25 September 1871 subject to the payment of a yearly Ground Rent of £15.

The Area

This particular part of Tempest Road is just off the main thoroughfare through the village and there is a nice mix of properties including a selection of terraced homes and cottages plus larger, higher value detached units. The village has excellent transport links including Lostock train station which is on the main line to Manchester and good access via Lock Lane towards Junction 5 of the M61. The village sustains a local pub whilst there is an express style supermarket within a practical distance. There are a broad range of shops and services with Westhoughton and Horwich town centres, with larger retail outlets at the Middlebrook retail complex which is just one motorway junction away. A stroll through the village will quickly illustrate the pleasant surroundings which are largely agricultural fields and a number of sports clubs. The area would no doubt suit those who enjoy outdoor activities.
