A Home That Adapts to You

Set along Tempest Road in the established residential area of Lostock, this substantial four/five-bedroom semi-detached home brings together contemporary living, versatile accommodation and a setting that places the countryside close to everyday life.

With much of the accommodation arranged across the ground floor, the property offers a different approach to family living, with generous areas for spending time together and the flexibility to adapt as needs change.

Outside, a manageable rear garden provides room to relax and entertain, while local amenities, schools and countryside walks are all within easy reach.

A Welcoming First Impression

Set behind a neatly maintained front lawn and paved driveway, the property has a distinctive, predominantly single-storey appearance, with white rendered elevations, oak-framed windows and an attractive oak-canopied entrance porch.

The driveway provides parking for two vehicles and leads to an attached garage with a recently installed electric door. An EV charging point adds further convenience, while gated side access connects the front and rear of the property.

Inside, the spacious entrance hall creates an immediate sense of openness, with a striking oak staircase rising towards the galleried landing above. Its open-tread design allows light to filter through the space, while the oak balustrade and matching internal doors bring warmth to the crisp white walls. Porcelain plank-effect tiled flooring with underfloor heating completes the entrance.

Space to Come Together

The open-plan kitchen, dining and living area is at the centre of everyday life, with high ceilings, generous glazing and a series of roof lanterns bringing natural light into the room. Designed for spending time together, the layout moves comfortably from cooking and dining to relaxing, with sliding doors opening onto the rear patio and garden.

The Omega kitchen has a clean, contemporary finish, with white high-gloss handleless cabinetry, granite worktops and a substantial central island that provides additional preparation space and somewhere to sit with a coffee. A SMEG Victoria seven-burner dual-fuel range cooker, complete with double oven and teppanyaki grill, takes centre stage, complemented by a matching extractor and integrated dishwasher.

Alongside the kitchen, the dining area comfortably accommodates a large table, making it a natural gathering place for family meals and entertaining. Beyond, the adjoining sitting area offers a more relaxed space to unwind, with further glazed doors connecting it to the garden. Porcelain plank-effect tiled flooring runs throughout, bringing the different areas together.

A separate utility room provides additional storage and laundry facilities, while a ground-floor cloakroom completes the practical accommodation.

Room to Unwind

The additional family room offers a comfortable place to retreat to, whether for relaxed evenings, watching films or spending time together away from the main living areas. French doors open directly outside, while its previous use as a bedroom means it could easily return to this purpose as family needs change. An adjoining WC adds further convenience.

Two bedrooms also occupy the ground floor, including the generously proportioned main bedroom, which benefits from a recently refitted en-suite. Contemporary finishes and a spacious, easy-access shower create a bathroom designed with both comfort and practicality in mind. The second bedroom also has its own en-suite, making it equally suited to family members or visiting guests.

Upstairs Retreat

Upstairs, the oak staircase leads to a galleried mezzanine overlooking the entrance hall. Arranged as a seating area, it provides an inviting place to settle down with a book or enjoy a quieter moment away from the main living areas.

The larger first-floor bedroom has a vaulted ceiling that adds to the sense of space, with Velux windows and integrated blackout blinds. Its en-suite features a freestanding bath, while a further bedroom completes the accommodation on this floor.

Extensive eaves storage, fitted with automatic lighting, offers useful additional room for clothing and other belongings. Individual heating controls, automatic lighting in selected rooms and CAT 5 cabling add to the modern conveniences found throughout the home.

A Garden to Enjoy

Opening directly from the kitchen and living area, the rear garden provides a natural extension of the home, with a paved patio offering space for outdoor dining, summer barbecues or simply sitting outside with a morning coffee.

Beyond the patio, a neatly maintained lawn provides room for children to play, while established boundaries create an enclosed setting that is not directly overlooked.

Its manageable proportions make it an enjoyable place to spend time without the demands of extensive upkeep, whether entertaining friends or making the most of a sunny afternoon.

A separate storage room with external access provides space for garden equipment and other essentials, while gated side access connects the garden with the front of the property.

In the Neighbourhood

Lostock is one of Bolton's established residential areas, with its leafy surroundings, attractive neighbourhoods and convenient access to both town and countryside. Situated around 3.5 miles from Bolton town centre and 13 miles from Manchester, it offers a setting that combines everyday convenience with opportunities to enjoy the outdoors.

Tempest Road has a distinctly local feel, where residential streets sit close to open fields and country lanes. Countryside walks and routes ideal for dog walking can be found nearby, while a children's play area, family-friendly pub and local football club with its own pitch and clubhouse contribute to the neighbourhood's sense of community.

Everyday essentials are close at hand, with Middlebrook Retail and Leisure Park offering a broad choice of shops, restaurants and entertainment. Westhoughton's Market Street provides a more independent selection of cafés, shops and local businesses.

For those who enjoy the outdoors, there's plenty to explore. From the walking trails of the West Pennine Moors and scenic routes around Rivington Reservoir to the waterside paths at High Rid Reservoir, the surrounding landscape offers a welcome escape from everyday routines. Sporting enthusiasts are equally well catered for, with Bolton Golf Club, Regents Park Golf Course, Lostock Tennis Club and Markland Hill Racquets Club nearby, alongside David Lloyd and Bolton Arena.

Schools & Connections

Families have a good choice of schools in and around Lostock, including Lostock Primary School and Markland Hill Primary School. Independent options include Bolton School and Clevelands Preparatory School, while Eden Boys' School provides a further secondary education option in the wider area.

For commuters, Lostock railway station provides services towards Bolton and Manchester, with onward connections further afield. Local bus services are also accessible from Tempest Road, while the nearby M61 connects the area with Manchester and the wider North West motorway network.
