Belmont Road, Bolton, BL1 7DT

Historic, deeply private and utterly unique -welcome to Heath Cottages, a character home of rare charm and distinction.

Believed to date back to the late 1700s, this remarkable semi-detached cottage is a true hidden gem, rich in history and beautifully positioned, set well back from the main road behind mature trees and established gardens. Sympathetic to its heritage, the property retains an abundance of original features including exposed beams, feature fireplaces and mullion-style windows to both sides of the ground floor, all combining to create a home of warmth, character and timeless appeal. The welcoming stone hallway is ideal for storage and muddy boots.

Occupying an enviable and exceptionally private plot, the cottage is surrounded by beautifully maintained gardens to both sides, offering peaceful spaces to relax, entertain or simply enjoy the tranquillity of the setting. The sense of seclusion is rarely found, enhanced further by its tucked-away position along a private approach via a shared driveway. In addition, a detached oversized stone faced garage, built to match the house provides secure parking or useful storage, complementing the practicality of this charming home. Additionally, the garage has a power supply and there's water taps to the front and rear.

Internally, the property continues to impress with its versatile and characterful accommodation arranged over three spacious floors - a layout that adds to both its uniqueness and flexibility. The ground floor features a charming country-style kitchen positioned at the front of the home, fitted with a range of base and eye-level units and enjoying a pleasant outlook. Adjacent is a beautifully private formal living room, centred around a feature fireplace, creating a cosy yet elegant retreat. A separate study provides the perfect space for home working, alongside a convenient ground floor WC.

The first floor offers two substantial rooms, both full of character and natural light. The rear room benefits from its own en-suite bathroom and is currently utilised as an additional reception space, complete with a gas fire, highlighting the flexibility of the accommodation, but could equally serve as a superb principal bedroom. A further staircase rises to the second floor where a stunning, bright and airy bedroom suite awaits, enhanced by Velux windows that flood the space with natural light, and complete with its own private en-suite bathroom, creating a peaceful and secluded haven ideal for guests or as a luxurious main suite.

Homes of this age, privacy and individuality rarely present themselves to the market. Heath Cottages offers a unique opportunity to acquire a property that effortlessly combines history, charm, versatile living space and a truly special setting.

Perfectly located in the highly regarded Sharples area of Bolton, the property enjoys the best of both worlds - peaceful seclusion yet excellent convenience. A range of amenities including shops, supermarkets, pubs and leisure facilities are all within easy reach, along with well-regarded schooling options. For those who enjoy the outdoors, beautiful countryside and scenic walking routes are quite literally on the doorstep, making this an exceptional place to call home.
