What a fantastic opportunity to be resident within this historic building which stands in a prominent location at the head of the Chapel Street cul-de-sac. The street name is derived from this building which we understand was originally constructed as a chapel to serve the area in around 1806 and remodelled in 1886. Latterly the former chapel was converted into a residential dwelling around 25 years ago at which time an absolute modernisation program was undertaken. The substantial accommodation is not readily apparent from the front and so an internal viewing is more necessary than ever. The accommodation measures 218.9 sq. metres (2356.4 sq. feet). In summary there are three reception rooms, two of which are particularly substantial, a generous dining kitchen and user friendly characteristics, including large hallway, DSWC, storage room and utility. To the first floor, there are four very well proportioned bedrooms, three of which include an ensuite facility. Additionally, there is a main bathroom and an excellent provision for accessible storage. We understand there are several unconverted cellar rooms. Externally, there is a garden area and raised patio together with an area for parking at the front. As the large refurbishment program took place around 25 years ago certain elements of the aesthetics will now start to look a little dated however there is an excellent blank canvas for a buyer to tweak and change things over time with the understanding that significant works were done to the fabric relatively recently. The property is held under two Leases.   Part of The Old Chapel, George Street, Horwich is held under a Lease dated 2nd November 1801 for a term of 295 years from 1st February 1801 subject to the payment of a yearly Ground Rent of £140.     The remainder of The Old Chapel, George Street, Horwich is held under a Lease dated 31st December 1928 for a period of 295 years (less 1 day) subject to the payment of a yearly Ground Rent of £1.   We are advised that the property is Leasehold with 71 years remaining. The vendor is currently investigating (1) The possibility of extending the lease and (2) The possibility of purchasing the lease. Council Tax is Band E - £2,807.65 Chapel Street is located just off Church Street, opposite the Parish Church and is regarded as a high calibre part of the town. A key strength to homes within this area is their ability to provide access into the countryside which is possible to access just past the church. Footpaths lead into the hills that provide an impressive backdrop to the town. Whilst these rural links are so close to hand, the town also functions brilliantly as a commuter belt towards Manchester benefiting from access to several train stations linking to the city, together with junctions 5 and 6 of the M61. The commercial centre itself includes a pleasant range of mainly independently owned shops and services and within around half a mile of the subject property there is childcare at nursery level whilst the town has several primary and secondary schools. The nearby Chorley Old Road is a bus route linking Bolton to Chorley and commercial amenities are enhanced by the Middlebrook retail development which is close to the previously mentioned junction 5 motorway link. The retail park is around 1.5 miles away and includes a wealth of large outlets together with restaurants, cinema, gym etc. All in all, we feel that the area offers a family-friendly package.
