Situated in the heart of the ever-popular and highly regarded Broughton Park, this truly exceptional residence occupies one of the area’s finest positions on Old Hall Road, just a few short steps from the park itself. With approximately 15 acres of parkland and a 4-acre lake at its centre, the setting offers a rare blend of natural beauty and everyday convenience. While estate agents often describe homes as “unique,” this property genuinely earns the title. It is a true one-off, with no comparable property locally. Occupying an elevated position, it offers the ease and practicality of bungalow living in the truest sense, with all principal accommodation arranged on one level (aside from the garage). The home has been lovingly renovated by the current owners to the very highest standard and exudes a sense of unpretentious luxury – it is, above all, a beautiful and comfortable home. Despite its peaceful, tree-lined setting, the location is exceptionally well connected. Manchester city centre is within easy reach, as are Bury and Bolton, with excellent access to the motorway network via nearby Rhodes (Middleton), Whitefield and Swinton. A wide range of local amenities are also close at hand, creating the perfect balance between tranquillity and convenience. Set back from the road, the property immediately conveys a sense of privacy and stature, with a manicured frontage and a substantial driveway providing ample off-road parking. A double garage with electric door sits to the side, while a pathway leads to the main entrance. Upon entering, you are welcomed by a grand reception hallway, centred around a striking chandelier and providing access to the principal rooms. Impressive double doors open into a stunning open-plan living space, thoughtfully designed to maximise light and flow. Floor-to-ceiling windows to both the front and rear elevations flood the room with natural light and create a seamless connection to the gardens. The majority of the windows are WERU triple glazed, resulting in an exceptionally quiet and well-insulated environment. The living area offers a comfortable lounge setting, enhanced by a remote-operated integral gas fire, and flows effortlessly into a dedicated dining area and contemporary kitchen. The kitchen is of a high specification, featuring a central island, double ovens, microwave, two integrated dishwashers and space for an American-style fridge freezer. The property benefits from electric underfloor heating throughout the principal rooms, controlled via a smart app, with gas central heating serving the guest bedrooms. The gas boiler, providing constant hot water and heating, is housed within a dedicated plant room to the rear of the garage. The accommodation comprises four well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal suite enjoys a walk-in dressing room with remote-operated Velux windows featuring automatic rain sensors, together with a stylish en-suite shower room. The second bedroom also benefits from en-suite facilities, while the main showers are fitted with electric push-button systems providing excellent water pressure throughout. A guest WC and a separate family bathroom serve the remaining rooms. An additional lounge, currently arranged as a library and television room, provides flexible living space. Internal steps offer direct access to the garage. Externally, the gardens were fully re-landscaped and re-stocked approximately seven years ago. The front garden enjoys a full lawn and a south-facing aspect, while the rear garden is arranged over two tiers and benefits from sunlight throughout the day thanks to the bungalow design. A generous patio area is ideal for outdoor entertaining, complemented by low-maintenance AstroTurf and a lawned section below. Comprehensive garden lighting enhances all areas, including dedicated entertaining lights, all set on timer controls. The home is fully alarmed and benefits from vibration-sensitive window protection, together with full CCTV coverage allowing visibility around the property and beyond the main gates to the road. Electronic gates further enhance privacy and security. The loft is partially boarded with good head height, providing useful storage and potential for further boarding if required. This is a home that successfully combines space, advanced comfort features and security with beautifully maintained outdoor areas in one of the area’s most sought-after locations. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the quality and lifestyle on offer. EPC Rating: C
