Victoria Road, Bolton, BL1 | 5-Bedroom Victorian Home with Annexe, Close to Bolton School

Period Character & Generous Living

Burton James, in collaboration with WeLocate, are delighted to bring this property to the rental market.

Wingfield is an impressive semi-detached Victorian home dating back to 1875, offering substantial accommodation arranged across four floors. Rich in original character yet thoughtfully updated, the property combines high coved ceilings, decorative ceiling roses, sash windows, wall panelling and elegant fireplaces with contemporary finishes and Crittall-style interior doors.

The accommodation is particularly generous, with multiple reception spaces, five bedrooms, four bathrooms and the added flexibility of an annexe. Two recently replaced boilers and newer windows complement the updates made throughout the property, while its elevated position and large windows bring plenty of natural light into the home.

Positioned just off Victoria Road in Heaton, Wingfield is conveniently placed for Lostock railway station, well-regarded local schools and the wider amenities of Bolton, Lostock and surrounding areas.

A Characterful Welcome

A shared driveway leads to the property, with a substantial parking area to the side providing off-road parking for several vehicles. Further parking can be found on the opposite side of the house, alongside separate access to the annexe.

The recently refreshed stone exterior retains the proportions and architectural details expected of a Victorian property, with stone lintels and large sash windows creating an impressive first impression.

Inside, the bright entrance hallway introduces the character found throughout, with full-height entrance windows, crisp décor and stone-tiled flooring.

Kitchen & Everyday Living

The kitchen is a light-filled space with a pitched roof, skylights and dual-aspect windows. Cream shaker-style cabinetry is paired with black granite worktops, a tiled splashback and a range cooker with extractor, while a peninsula provides additional preparation space and informal seating.

There is also room for a dining table, making this a sociable space for everyday meals and entertaining. A separate utility room provides additional storage, a sink and space for laundry appliances.

The main hallway continues the period detailing with wood flooring, high ceilings and dado rails, while a distinctive WC combines wall panelling, patterned wallpaper and contemporary fittings.

Two Impressive Reception Rooms

Beyond a pair of Crittall-style doors, the principal living room makes the most of the scale of the property, with high ceilings, ornate coving, ceiling roses and period-style lighting. A full-height bay window and French doors bring in plenty of natural light and connect the room with the garden, while fitted alcove storage provides useful additional space.

Across the hallway, a second living room provides another generous reception space. Large sash windows, wooden flooring, alcove bookcases and an elegant fireplace with stone surround retain the room's traditional character, making it equally suited to everyday family life or more formal entertaining.

Flexible Annexe & Lower Ground Floor

The lower ground floor/cellar provides useful additional space within the property, while the annexe adds further flexibility to the accommodation.

Accessed from the main house, the annexe includes a separate entrance porch and a generous reception room, currently arranged as a formal dining space. Beyond is a well-proportioned double bedroom with its own en-suite shower room, making this part of the house particularly useful for guests, older children or extended family.

Bedrooms & Bathrooms

On the first floor are two generous en-suite bedrooms alongside the family bathroom.

The principal bedroom is a spacious dual-aspect room with wall panelling, wooden shutters and an adjoining dressing room. Its en-suite bathroom is finished with contemporary tiling and includes a large walk-in rainfall shower, twin countertop basins with vanity storage and a wall-hung WC.

The second bedroom is also generously proportioned, with fitted sliding wardrobes, dual-aspect windows with wooden shutters and its own three-piece en-suite shower room.

The family bathroom features multi-toned stone-effect tiling, a freestanding double-ended bath and a separate wet-room-style shower.

Two further bedrooms are positioned on the second floor, accessed via separate staircases from the first-floor landing. One incorporates extensive integrated wardrobes, while the other benefits from useful eaves storage.

Outdoor Space & Parking

The outdoor space at Wingfield is arranged predominantly to the front of the property, where an established garden is framed by box hedging, topiary and mature trees. The home’s elevated position and setback from Victoria Road help give the garden a sense of separation from the road.

A patio wraps around the side of the house, providing space for outdoor seating and dining, while an additional lawn and extensive off-road parking provide further practical outdoor space.
