We were fortunate enough to market Hamers Barn around 20 years ago at which time the current owners purchased the property and have subsequently enhanced what was already a tremendous home. It is fair to describe true bungalows as an increasingly rare breed of property and when we consider the special location and stone construction, we feel many buyers will consider this as a once in a lifetime opportunity. Approx 2219sqft of accommodation. Sitting in predominantly level grounds of approx 0.24 of an acre, the stunning outside space will undoubtedly be embraced by those keen gardeners amongst us. The gardens are enhanced by their orientation and remarkable privacy. The garage and large utility form part of an extension by the current owners and their size offers further scope for conversion if greater living space would be required. Alternatively, we cannot fail to acknowledge that the facilities provided by a large garage and a substantial utility are sought after features. For those keen dog owners, the utility was made for ease of access and user-friendly facilities for washing and drying dogs after a muddy walk! It is worthy of notes that historically there have been double doors between the rear most part of the kitchen and the adjoining room which could quite easily be reinstated and may well suit purchasers looking to have a larger open plan living space. The lead reception room alternatively could be used as a bedroom. This well cared for home is presented in a modern neutral style and we expect strong rates of interest. The property is Freehold Council Tax is Band F - £3,545.31 Dryfield Lane is a highly regarded road in Rivington which is a village just on the outskirts of Horwich. The location blends a rural setting seamlessly with excellent access to facilities and an excellent transport links. The popular and independent Bolton School is around 5 miles away and Dryfield Lane is close to their bus route. Horwich town centre, which includes a good collection of largely independently owned shops and services is under one mile away whilst larger retail outlets can be found towards the Middlebrook development close to the football stadium which includes associated transport links (Horwich Parkway train station on the mainline to Manchester plus junction 6 of the M61). Blackrod train station is physically the closest rail link, is on the main line to Manchester and is around 1.5 miles away whilst the motorway junction is around 3 miles away. Those busy working in Manchester city centre, for example, would no doubt relish their journey home to a rural retreat to enjoy the country park setting and enviable views. The area is synonymous with the philanthropist Lord Leverhulme who is understood to have socialised with the owners of properties in the area. To enjoy a slice of the town’s heritage along with an individual residence and proportionate garden then look no further. This could well be the home for you.
