Description
Set just off Chorley Old Road, this beautifully presented two-bedroom semi-detached home combines light-filled interiors with a layout designed for easy, everyday living. Ideally placed for local amenities, well-regarded schooling and transport connections into Bolton and Horwich, it’s a home that feels both connected and comfortably tucked away.
A Warm Welcome
Stepping inside, a practical entrance lobby provides the perfect place to tuck away shoes and coats, setting the tone for a home that is both considered and easy to live in. Beyond, the atmosphere is immediately calm and welcoming.
The main lounge is a generous, beautifully proportioned space, finished in soft neutral tones that enhance the sense of light and openness. Plush carpeting underfoot adds warmth, while the Laura Ashley damask wallcovering to the chimney breast introduces a subtle layer of elegance and texture, creating a refined backdrop.
A contemporary gas fireplace sits neatly within a sleek surround, complete with a polished inset and decorative pebble detail, forming a stylish focal point that anchors the room. The large bay-fronted window draws in an abundance of natural light, further enhancing the airy feel and offering a pleasant outlook to the front.
Altogether, it is a space that balances comfort and presentation with ease, equally suited to relaxed evenings at home or hosting family and friends.
The kitchen has been thoughtfully arranged with both style and function in mind, offering a space that feels both practical and quietly refined. Cream shaker-style cabinetry is paired with warm wood-effect worktops, creating a timeless, country-inspired aesthetic that is softened further by the natural light filtering through the rear window.
A Belfast-style sink takes centre stage beneath the window, complemented by a chrome mixer tap and framed by simple white blinds, allowing the light to play across the work surfaces throughout the day. The tiled splashbacks introduce a subtle blend of earthy tones, adding warmth and texture without overwhelming the palette.
Integrated appliances include a stainless steel oven, four-ring gas hob and a curved glass extractor, all neatly incorporated to maintain clean lines, while open shelving provides a relaxed, lived-in feel, ideal for everyday essentials and styling touches. There is ample provision for additional freestanding appliances, including space for an undercounter fridge freezer and dishwasher, ensuring the kitchen remains as functional as it is attractive.
Underfoot, luxury Karndean flooring runs throughout, chosen for both durability and its natural wood appearance, tying the scheme together seamlessly.
The layout continues to work intelligently beyond the main kitchen space, with a bifolding door discreetly screening a useful utility area, complete with plumbing and space for a washing machine, along with additional room for cleaning supplies and storage.
Just off the kitchen, the home opens into a beautifully bright conservatory, a space designed to blur the line between inside and out. Flooded with natural light from the glazed roof and wraparound windows, it offers a wonderfully uplifting atmosphere throughout the day, with garden views forming a constant backdrop.
Finished with timber-effect laminate flooring and complemented by fitted heaters for year-round comfort, this is a space that feels both practical and inviting in every season. Currently arranged as a relaxed seating area alongside a dining space, it easily adapts to suit a range of lifestyles, whether as a garden room, family dining area or an additional lounge.
UPVC French doors open directly onto the patio, creating a seamless transition for outdoor entertaining and making it easy to step out and enjoy the garden.
Rest & Retreat
Upstairs, the home continues to offer a sense of light and calm with two bright and thoughtfully arranged bedrooms.
The main bedroom is particularly generous in size, comfortably accommodating a full suite of furniture while still retaining an open, uncluttered feel. Positioned to the front, it enjoys pleasant elevated views stretching out towards Manchester, adding an extra sense of space and outlook. The décor is soft and considered, with gentle tones and a feature wall adding subtle character, creating a restful and inviting atmosphere. A built-in cupboard provides practical storage, allowing the room to remain clean and well organised without compromising on floor space.
The second bedroom, also positioned to the front, is a beautifully presented room enjoying the same bright and airy feel. Currently arranged as a comfortable single, it offers the flexibility to accommodate a double if desired. Ideal as a child’s bedroom, guest space or home office, it provides room for essential furnishings alongside a pleasant outlook that enhances the sense of light.
The bathroom has been stylishly updated with a clean, modern finish, designed to feel both fresh and effortlessly practical. Large-format neutral tiling wraps the room, creating a seamless, contemporary look while enhancing the sense of space and light.
A fitted P-shaped bath sits neatly beneath the window, complete with a curved glass screen and a rainfall-style shower overhead, offering both everyday convenience and a more indulgent bathing experience. Chrome fittings throughout, including the sleek mixer tap and shower fixtures, add a crisp, polished contrast against the soft tones of the tiling.
A pedestal wash basin is paired with modern chrome taps, while a heated towel rail provides both comfort and functionality. Natural light filters in through the window, softening the overall scheme and giving the room a bright, airy feel.
Step Outside
Externally, the rear garden has been thoughtfully arranged to balance ease of maintenance with everyday enjoyment. A combination of patio, raised decking and artificial lawn creates clearly defined zones, offering flexibility for outdoor dining, relaxed seating and entertaining. The elevated deck provides an ideal spot for summer evenings, while the lawned area adds a touch of greenery without the upkeep, all enclosed to create a private and secure setting.
To the front, the property is set back behind a low brick wall with a neatly planted border, delivering an attractive, traditional kerb appeal that sits comfortably within the character of the surrounding homes.
Practical Information & Recent Improvements
Practicality has been carefully considered, with gas and electricity supplied via Octopus Energy and a water meter fitted to the front of the property in late 2024. The home has also been improved for efficiency and peace of mind, with full loft insulation installed in February 2025 and a modern boiler, fitted in June 2020, maintained with annual servicing.
Out & About:
The setting further enhances its appeal. Whether you prefer peaceful surroundings or an active outdoor lifestyle, the area delivers in abundance. Close by are the conservation areas of Barrow Bridge and Smithills Country Park, ideal for relaxed walks and time in nature, while the West Pennine Moors and Winter Hill in nearby Rivington offer more adventurous days out. High Rid Reservoir is also within easy reach, popular with cyclists, runners and walkers, along with Doffcocker Lodge Nature Reserve for quieter moments outdoors.
Locally, there is a strong sense of community, with a selection of independent favourites including Bob’s Smithy Inn and The Victoria Inn, alongside Earls Day & Night Deli, The Heaton Coffee Shop, Tesoro Pizzeria and Provisions for coffee, dining and everyday treats.
Practicality is equally well covered, with a range of essential amenities, convenience stores, florist, butcher, hairdressers and more, within a short walk or drive. The property is also ideally placed for commuters, just a few miles from Bolton town centre and offering straightforward train access into Manchester.
For families, the location is particularly appealing, with Markland Hill and Church Road primary schools within a comfortable 5–10 minute walk.
