Latham Road, Blackrod, Bolton, BL6

A most impressive family home which has been occupied for just under 20 years and has undergone an excellent program of modernisation in recent times.

Key items such as the kitchen and bathroom were replaced during 2022 and 2021 respectively whilst the boiler was replaced just 18 months ago. Benefiting from fresh and neutral presentation throughout we are sure the home will suit those purchasers looking for little in the way of immediate maintenance.

The external space is a very strong characteristic of the home and includes a triple width driveway leading to a garage. To the rear there is a substantial garden which has been thoughtfully landscaped. Great thoughts has been put into the creation of an entertaining area within a raised rear patio and this includes a timber summer house and pergola

The sellers inform us that the property is Freehold

Council Tax is Band C - £1,938.40

Blackrod is a popular village within the BL6 postcode area and therefore benefits from brilliant access to key transport links such as Blackrod train station which is just over 1 mile away and Horwich Parkway which is just over 3 miles away. Junction 6 of the M61 is around 3 miles away. As a result, many locals consider Manchester and the Trafford Centre as an appropriate distance to work, shop and socialise.

The Ofsted rated 'Outstanding' Blackrod Country Primary School remains consistently popular. We find that in addition to the transport links, a strong factor attracting people to the general area is the access to this excellent countryside. The neighbouring area of Horwich has great access to a stretch of the West Pennine Moors and Winter Hill, together with large areas owned by the Woodland Trust, whilst the village itself includes access towards Haigh and the neighbouring village of Adlington which includes a stretch of the Leeds-Liverpool canal.

In terms of commercial facilities, the village includes a handful of shops and services, together with doctors and a library, with further opportunities available within Adlington, Chorley and Horwich town centres working 'hand-in-hand' with the out of town retail development, close to the football stadium which is a distance of around 3 miles away
