About
This large home is positioned within a superb plot of just under 0.7 of an acre and within a superb location.
In its current form the property offers five bedrooms and five reception rooms and due to the age of construction these rooms are of excellent proportions.
General modernisation is required but it is clear that there may also be scope for full redevelopment of the site which is an increasingly common choice within the locality.
It is important to note that the property sits in an excellent prominent position at the head of a cul de sac which not only runs parallel with but connects via its north boundary to Chorley New Road.
Properties along this cul de sac have only been placed into the open market occasionally since their first construction which underlines the quality of the immediate environment.
The seller informs us that the property is Freehold Council Tax is Band G - £3,987.20 Woods Lea is a cul-de-sac just off and parallel with Chorley New Road, nestled within the heart of Heaton which is regarded as one of the premier locations within the town.
Important transport links such as Junction 5 of the M61 serve the town well and is 3 miles away, whilst Lostock train station is on the mainline to Manchester and is around 1.5 miles away.
We therefore find that many people settle within the area who shop and socialise around Manchester.
The immediate area itself includes a number of popular pubs, restaurants, gyms plus the choice of several golf courses.
Just outside of Heaton, Old Kiln Lane leads towards Chorley Old Road (approx 2 miles), which provides further access towards a stretch of the West Pennine Moors and the Smithills Estate, which is owned and run by the Woodland Trust.
The area therefore strikes a superb balance of access to rural areas within around two miles coupled with the excellent transport infrastructure as mentioned previously.
Finally, it is worth noting that there is a choice of popular schooling, both state and private, with the consistently popular Bolton School Estate just under over half a mile away.
