The Home:
Positioned within a popular village and enjoying open views over fields to the front and further beyond to Rivington Pike and the surrounding hills.
Please note that there are no parking restrictions on either side of this part of the road, and this should allow the home to stand out from other similar properties within the immediate area.
Our clients have previously rented the property and subsequently the home has been the subject of relevant gas and electric safety checks in recent years. We appreciate that buyers may look to update certain aspects so the home has been priced accordingly.
The accommodation enjoys a well proportioned lead reception room and large master bedroom. Both these spaces view over the fields and towards the hills.
There is a fully tiles bathroom and additional bedroom to the first floor. To the rear, a dining kitchen opens to the enclosed low maintenance courtyard.
Properties within this price level and in the village have been generating very strong rates of interest and an early viewing should be considered essential.

The Area:
Blackrod is a popular village within the BL6 postcode area and therefore benefits from brilliant access to key transport links such as Blackrod train station which is just around 1 mile away and Horwich Parkway which is just over 2 miles away. Junction 6 of the M61 is around 2 miles away. As a result, many locals consider Manchester and the Trafford Centre as an appropriate distance to work, shop and socialise.
The Ofsted rated 'Outstanding' Blackrod Country Primary School is just 0.2 of a mile away and it is worth viewing a satellite image of the property to appreciate the abundance of open space immediately to the front. We find that in addition to the transport links, a strong factor attracting people to the general area is the access to this excellent countryside. The neighbouring area of Horwich has great access to a stretch of the West Pennine Moors and Winter Hill, together with large areas owned by the Woodland Trust, whilst the village itself includes access towards Haigh and the neighbouring village of Adlington which includes a stretch of the Leeds-Liverpool canal.
In terms of commercial facilities, the village includes a handful of shops and services, together with doctors and a library, with further opportunities available within Adlington, Chorley and Horwich town centres working 'hand-in-hand' with the out-of-town retail development at Middlebrook, close to the football stadium which is a distance of around 2.5 miles away.
