Horrocks Fold, Bolton, BL1

Set within a significant plot in the peaceful Horrocks Fold area, Chequers offers a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful three-bedroom detached home surrounded by greenery, yet conveniently positioned just a short drive from Bolton town centre.

The setting is a defining feature of this property. Tucked away from the pace and noise of urban life, the surrounding landscape creates a wonderfully serene atmosphere, while Horrocks Wood, Smithills Country Park and a variety of local footpaths, bridleways and countryside routes are close by. The wider area offers excellent opportunities for walking and outdoor recreation.

Inside, the house retains a wealth of traditional character, including stained-glass windows, and attractive timber features. The accommodation is arranged to provide a generous living room, separate dining room, kitchen, three bedrooms, a bathroom, WC and utility room, with the floorplan indicating approximately 1,159 sq. ft. of ground-floor accommodation.

The generous plot further enhances the appeal. Whether the intention is to establish a long-term family home, create a larger and more contemporary residence, or explore a potential development opportunity subject to the necessary consents, the site offers a level of scope rarely available in such a convenient location.

The owners have previously had planning permission in place for a substantial extension. That permission is now out of date and would need to be reassessed with the relevant planning authority, but its previous existence demonstrates the ambition and potential associated with the property. Any future purchaser should make their own enquiries regarding planning, permitted development rights and the possibilities available for the site.

Chequers is offered for sale chain free, providing an excellent opportunity for buyers seeking a character property, a sizeable plot and a peaceful lifestyle without being removed from everyday amenities and the centre of Bolton. Early viewing is strongly recommended to appreciate the setting, character and potential this property has to offer.

Important Notice: The proposed site plans shown are for illustrative purposes only. Planning permission for the scheme was granted in 2018 but has since expired and is no longer valid. Any purchaser wishing to pursue development, extension or alteration must make their own enquiries and obtain all necessary planning permissions and consents from the relevant local authority.

Garden

Set within a substantial plot, the outside space provides a wonderful sense of privacy, greenery and possibility. With room for family enjoyment, landscaped gardens or future enhancement, subject to consent, it perfectly complements the home’s peaceful semi-rural setting.
