The House: A grand detached residence set within just under one acre and adjoining open fields to the rear. The gated driveway which also leads to the rear of the home sets a striking entrance for what should be considered as a distinguished home. The 'nuts and bolts' of the property offer four reception rooms plus a kitchen which adjoins outbuildings, to the first floor there are four bedrooms and a large bathroom and the significantly proportioned second floor combines three further rooms which could quite easily be used as bedrooms or alternatively provides a great versatility to the layout. As previously mentioned there are a range of outbuildings which include a collection of rooms adjoining the property (boiler room, scullery, coal store etc), a coach house/former school room plus separate detached garage. The gardens adjoining open fields and includes views towards Rivington Pike and the associated moorland. Historically speaking, the property was constructed during 1904 and had been commissioned by a prominent local businessman by the name of Mr Pickup who remained resident in the town whilst his brick and pipe works thrived. Our current clients purchased the property in 1976 and have been its custodians ever since. We appreciate that many buyers will wish to modernise areas of the home and the great potential on offer which should encompass the ability to extend the property / incorporate some of the outbuildings into the formal living space is made clear during a viewing. The quality of the structure combined with its character, plot size and location would no doubt suit those individuals or families looking for a quality property in a high calibre location.
