We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
3 Holly Dene Drive is a most impressive home offering flexible accommodation and finished in a modern and neutral manner.
A particularly strong characteristic is the setting itself which is a low density cul de sac with properties located on just one side of the road, meaning that the subject property enjoys an open aspect to both the front and rear.
This characteristic is seldom associated with the immediate area.
The rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped and boasts a lower-level patio sitting alongside a natural stream and overlooking woodland.
The big ticket items such as kitchen and bathroom have been thoughtfully modernised and the flexible accommodation includes an open plan kitchen and living area, separate study/playroom and a substantial main reception room.
To the first floor there are 4 bedrooms, numbers 1 and 2 are particularly well proportioned.
The master bedroom includes an en suite with the further 3 bedrooms being served by the main family bathroom.
There are further family-friendly characteristics such as a large integral double garage, separate utility, ground floor WC and there is excellent potential to extend above the garage area should larger first floor accommodation be needed in due course.
Planning permission was granted for a first floor front extension in 2020. Details can be found on the Bolton Council website using the reference 07524/19.
There is also potential for a garage conversion. The property is Freehold Council Tax is Band G - £3,828.64 Holly Dene Drive is a low density cul de sac located just off Chorley New Road in Lostock.
The highly regarded area benefits from excellent access to the nearby Lostock train station which is on the mainline to Manchester and is under 1 mile.
The two junctions of the M61 are also well placed and around 2.5 miles away. The nearest commercial centre is the Middlebrook Leisure and Retail Complex and also Horwich town centre.
