Property description

This first floor 2-bedroom duplex apartment in Holden Mill on Blackburn Road offers spacious contemporary interiors, a well-connected location, and the added security of being in a private gated apartment building. The property briefly comprises an open plan kitchen and living space, large balcony, 2 double bedrooms, bathroom, and ample storage, and each room is finished to modern standards meaning you can move in without lifting a finger.

The Approach

Turn into the gates of this local landmark, and the well-maintained leafy green grounds surrounded by trees creates a real private feel. Drive into the secure indoor car park and pop your car in its allocated space – how convenient, particularly in the cold and wet winter months.

Make your way into the lobby area where you notice how clean and well-cared for the communal areas are, and you can either catch the lift, or take the stairs to the first floor to help with your daily steps count! The apartment benefits from an intercom system which links to the main entrance, ensuring your guests are welcomed by you on arrival while keeping the building safe and secure.

Living Space

After making your way to the first floor, 136 welcomes you with open arms where calming neutral tones create a homely feel. The open plan lounge and kitchen benefit from a double height ceiling, and the glass sliding doors leading to the balcony stream plentiful natural light in.

The kitchen benefits from a modern design where woods and soft colours continue the calming homely feel, and integrated appliances include a Neff oven, hob, and extractor, Smeg grill and microwave, cda washer-dryer, and a chrome swan-neck mixer tap with sink and drainer. And the wooden breakfast bar provides a spot to enjoy your breakfast and morning cuppa!

One of the great perks of this apartment is the large balcony with lush green views onto the bordering treetop canopy. This outside space will be a joy on warm summer days, and is essentially an extension of your living space! The orientation of this apartment means the balcony will be a suntrap all afternoon and into the evening during the summer months.

Bedrooms & Bathroom

The bedrooms lie to the left of the hallway – one downstairs and one upstairs – both are finished to high standards and come complete with modern fitted wardrobes, with windows overlooking the spacious balcony. The layout of this lovely apartment is unique, both practical and attractive in character… Perhaps the second bedroom could be a home office or study?

The bathroom lies to the right of the hallway, featuring a contemporary white 3-piece suite including a bath with shower, wash basin, and WC. The white suite complements the tiled bath surrounds, and a navy blue feature wall adds a touch of contrast and splash of colour.

On Your Doorstep

Holden Mill is in a most convenient location where all of the local amenities you could possibly require are within easy reach. Being close to the local countryside, it's ideal for long country walks on the nearby moors or Jumbles Country Park. The surrounding village-like suburbs of Bromley Cross and Egerton offer a great variety of places to eat, drink, and socialise. If you prefer lively nightlife or an endless choice of bars and restaurants, you are only 20 minutes away from Manchester city centre thanks to the railway links from Bromley Cross, Bolton, or Hall'ith Wood stations. Easy motorway access is also nearby via the A666. And for your daily amenities, it is a great location with supermarkets and a range of retail just a hop skip and jump down Blackburn Road.
