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
The Opportunity Of A Lifetime | Magnificent Victorian Detached Home Beaming With Potential | Breath-Taking Private Plot Of Just Under One Acre Have you been searching for a forever home that you can completely transform and make your own?
Opportunities such as this are exceptionally rare and Glenbarr is truly one of a kind.
Occupying one of Bolton’s most prestigious locations just off Chorley New Road, this remarkable Victorian detached residence offers extraordinary scope to renovate, restore and create something truly spectacular.
Set within a stunning private plot approaching one acre, Glenbarr enjoys an enviable setting screened by mature trees, established bedding and beautifully secluded grounds that provide complete privacy from all sides.
The setting alone is enough to leave a lasting impression and perfectly complements the grandeur and character of the home itself.
Positioned within easy reach of some of Bolton’s finest amenities, the property is close to the highly regarded Bolton School alongside excellent leisure facilities, restaurants, bars and convenient transport links.
Internally, the property requires full modernisation throughout and the scale of work required should not be underestimated.
However, homes of this calibre that offer such a magnificent blank canvas rarely come to the market.
The potential on offer here is simply unrivalled and presents an exciting opportunity for a purchaser to restore this handsome period home to its former glory while tailoring it entirely to their own tastes and requirements.
Extending to an impressive 4,714 square feet, the accommodation is both substantial and versatile, currently arranged over three spacious floors.
Five generous bedrooms are on offer alongside three reception rooms, providing flexible living space ideal for growing families or those seeking multi-functional accommodation.
Externally, the property continues to impress with a substantial detached garage positioned within the grounds, offering excellent potential for vehicle storage, a workshop, home office or gym space subject to any necessary consents.
The property has previously benefited from planning permission, subject to conditions, for a substantial extension.
Further information can be found via the Bolton Council planning portal under application reference 12832/21.
