Designed for Modern Living

Hidden behind secure electric gates within an exclusive development of just four individually designed homes, Hesketh House is an impressive contemporary residence, custom built by the current owners. From its striking full-height glazing to its spacious, light-filled interior, every aspect of the home has been carefully considered to create a property that is as practical as it is striking.

The home immediately captivates with its dramatic glazed frontage. Inside, expansive reception spaces, impressive ceiling heights and thoughtfully planned accommodation combine to create a home that balances modern family living with elegant design.

Positioned in a peaceful residential setting just off Dobb Brow Road, the property enjoys convenient access to Westhoughton, Bolton, Manchester and the surrounding motorway network, whilst benefiting from the privacy and security of a small gated community.

Welcome Home

Passing through the electric gates, there's an immediate sense of privacy. Set amongst just four individually designed homes, Hesketh House occupies a prominent position within this exclusive development.

A generous driveway provides parking for multiple vehicles alongside a substantial detached garage, while the combination of contemporary landscaping, full-height glazing and warm red brickwork creates a striking first impression before you've even reached the front door.

The façade is defined by twin glazed gables that extend across all three storeys, allowing natural light to pour deep into the home. Anthracite aluminium glazing contrasts beautifully with the traditional brickwork and natural timber entrance doors, giving the property a contemporary appearance without feeling overly imposing.

Stepping through the impressive double entrance doors, you're welcomed into a spectacular reception hallway where the scale of the home immediately reveals itself. A double-height ceiling and galleried landing create a wonderful sense of volume, while oversized marble-effect porcelain tiles reflect the natural light flooding in from above. The contemporary staircase, finished with black timber and glass balustrades, provides a striking architectural focal point, drawing the eye upwards through the centre of the house.

From here, the layout unfolds naturally, with generous reception rooms leading away from the hallway while uninterrupted sightlines extend through to the open-plan living space at the rear, where large-format glazing frames the gardens beyond.

The Heart of the Home

The centrepiece of Hesketh House is undoubtedly the impressive open-plan breakfast kitchen, dining and family room. Occupying almost the entire rear of the property, it has been thoughtfully designed to create one expansive living area where cooking, dining and relaxing come together effortlessly.

Natural light pours into the room through three roof lanterns overhead, while three sets of bi-fold doors stretch across the rear elevation, creating a seamless connection between the house and the landscaped garden beyond. During the warmer months, the doors fold away to extend the living space onto the terrace, blurring the lines between indoors and out.

At the heart of the kitchen sits a substantial central island finished with quartz worktops, providing generous preparation space, integrated storage and breakfast seating for four. Contemporary cabinetry wraps around the room, housing a range of integrated appliances, while the layout allows whoever is cooking to remain part of the conversation.

The dining area comfortably accommodates a large table for family meals and celebrations before flowing naturally into the lounge, where oversized sofas create a relaxed setting to unwind. A bespoke media wall provides a focal point, whilst a fitted drinks bar with illuminated display shelving and a wine cooler adds another layer of luxury, making this an ideal space for entertaining.

The scale of the room means each area feels well defined without sacrificing the open, sociable atmosphere that makes modern family living so enjoyable.

Flexible Reception Spaces

While the open-plan kitchen, dining and family room is undoubtedly the social hub of the home, the additional reception rooms provide equally inviting spaces to relax, entertain or simply enjoy a little peace and quiet.

The principal living room offers a luxurious retreat from the bustle of everyday life. Finished with a bespoke media wall incorporating a contemporary linear fireplace, integrated display shelving and subtle ambient lighting, it has been designed as a space to unwind, whether enjoying a film with the family or settling in for a quiet evening.

A second reception room at the front of the property offers complete flexibility. Currently arranged as an elegant sitting room, it would adapt effortlessly as a home office, playroom, gym or snug, providing valuable additional living space to suit changing family requirements.

Supporting the main accommodation is a well-appointed utility room, fitted with extensive cabinetry, generous worktop space and external access, keeping day-to-day household tasks separate from the main living areas. A stylish guest cloakroom and useful built-in storage complete the ground floor, ensuring everyday life functions just as effortlessly as the entertaining spaces.

The Principal Suite

Ascending the staircase, you arrive at an impressive galleried landing where a dramatic double-height window floods the space with natural light. Framed by contemporary glazed balustrades and illuminated by a striking cascade of pendant lighting, this architectural centrepiece creates a wonderful sense of arrival and immediately showcases the quality and design found throughout the home.

Beyond, the principal suite provides a luxurious private retreat. Generously proportioned, the bedroom offers ample space for a super king bed and additional furnishings, whilst full-height glazed doors open onto a private balcony overlooking the landscaped gardens and surrounding greenery—a peaceful setting in which to enjoy a morning coffee or evening drink.

A dedicated dressing room, complete with an extensive range of fitted wardrobes and central storage island, provides excellent organisation before leading into the stunning en suite bathroom.

Designed with a boutique hotel aesthetic, the en suite is every bit as luxurious as the bedroom itself. A freestanding bath takes centre stage, complemented by an oversized walk-in double rainfall shower, twin vanity unit, premium brass fittings and striking large-format porcelain tiling. Thoughtfully integrated feature lighting enhances the contemporary design, creating a refined, spa-inspired atmosphere.

The principal suite delivers a rare combination of space, style and privacy, offering a peaceful sanctuary within the home.

Rest & Retreat

The same attention to detail continues throughout the remaining accommodation, where four further generously proportioned double rooms each benefit from their own well-appointed en suite shower room.

On the second floor are two wonderfully spacious rooms, both enjoying dramatic vaulted ceilings with exposed architectural detailing and full-height feature windows. One opens onto a private balcony overlooking the gardens, creating a peaceful place to enjoy the surrounding greenery, whilst the other offers an equally generous footprint filled with natural light.

The remaining two rooms are equally well presented, each offering spacious accommodation, large picture windows and contemporary en suite facilities finished with quality sanitaryware, sleek black fittings and stylish porcelain tiling. Designed with both family living and visiting guests in mind, each room offers comfort, privacy and independence in equal measure.

Al Fresco

Designed for entertaining as much as everyday living, the rear garden has been created to feel like an additional living space. Expansive composite decking forms a series of seating and dining areas, perfectly positioned to make the most of the south-facing aspect and the seamless connection to the open-plan kitchen through full-width bi-fold doors.

Whether enjoying morning coffee, summer barbecues with family and friends, or evening drinks around the integrated fire table, the outdoor spaces have been designed for every occasion. A private hot tub adds another touch of luxury, creating the perfect place to unwind beneath the stars.

Beyond the terrace, the expansive level lawn provides plenty of space for children to play, summer gatherings or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings, all framed by mature trees that create a wonderful sense of privacy and a lush green backdrop throughout the seasons.

As day turns to night, subtle exterior lighting transforms the garden into an elegant setting for outdoor entertaining, creating an atmosphere that can be enjoyed from sunrise through to late evening.

In the Neighbourhood

Perfectly positioned on the edge of Westhoughton, Hesketh House combines the tranquillity of a leafy residential setting with outstanding convenience. From independent cafés and popular restaurants to everyday amenities and excellent transport connections, everything you need is within easy reach.

The M61 is just minutes away, providing excellent links to Manchester, Preston and the wider motorway network, while nearby Westhoughton and Daisy Hill railway stations offer regular services to Manchester, Bolton, Wigan and Southport, making travel across the North West both quick and convenient.

Families are equally well catered for, with a choice of highly regarded primary schools, nurseries and Westhoughton High School all within easy reach. The prestigious Bolton School and Clevelands Preparatory School are also close by, offering excellent independent education options.
