About
Purchased in 2019, this property has since been extensively updated and reconfigured to create a well-balanced and versatile family home.
Originally designed as a five-bedroom layout with the option of a first-floor lounge, the current configuration places the main living accommodation on the ground floor, with four generous double bedrooms arranged across the first and second floors.
These are served by a family bathroom and separate shower room.
The layout could easily be reverted to provide a fifth bedroom if required, with the second floor offering excellent potential for a master suite.
Externally, the property benefits from front and rear gardens, private driveway and garage.
A particular highlight is the open outlook from the rear garden towards Rivington Pike and the surrounding hills.
