HIGHER CROFT, FOXHOLES ROAD, HORWICH  BL6 6AS - £450000 - For Sale

A particularly spacious detached bungalow which has been substantially extended to create a thoughtfully designed five bedroom home which is certain to command strong and wide ranging appeal in the current market. The property occupies a pleasant, elevated and secluded position within a generous and established plot of mature gardens and yet, is within easy reach of Chorley Old Road, many daily amenities including bus routes etc. and has the considerable benefit of Rivington Country Park being “virtually on the doorstep”. There are extensive car parking facilities within the grounds and the long driveway leads to a particularly substantial detached brick double garage with a depth of almost 26’. Internally, the well planned and practical accommodation offers immense flexibility and will be of particular interest to those people who either work from home or require more generous accommodation to house a close relative etc. Truly individual homes continue to be difficult to find in the current market and Higher Croft falls within the attractive category of those homes which “offer something a little different”. An early viewing is therefore strongly recommended but strictly by appointment.
