Main Description:
The House:
A most impressive three bedroom semi-detached cottage positioned within a very popular village which includes superb access to transport links and surrounding countryside.

The home has been thoughtfully laid out and is finished with excellent modern presentation throughout. There is an individual reception room to the front and a large open plan dining kitchen to the rear. This space includes French doors and opens to the rear garden. Additionally, there is a ground floor WC and cloakroom.

The first floor includes three bedrooms, the master of which is a particularly large size and includes an en suite shower room. The two further bedrooms are served by the family bathroom. Upon our first inspection we were pleasantly surprised by the amount of space an offer which is not readily obvious from a simple external inspection.

It is fair to describe this property as a relatively rare breed within the immediate area. Such homes often have broad appeal to a great variety of purchasers. Those looking for their first home which offers something a little different will no doubt be attracted by its location and cottage characteristics whilst those downsizing from a larger property will be pleased with the quality of the environment, large master bedroom and open plan kitchen area.

The vendor advises that the property is Leasehold with a ground rent of 50p per annum and a lease length of 999 years from 1855 and the Council Tax is Band C.

The Area:
Chew Moor village fringes Lostock and offers pleasant semi-rural surroundings with excellent access to important transport links. Lostock train station, which is on the mainline to Manchester, is around half a mile away and junction 5 of the M61 is around 2.5 miles away.

There is also good access to the satellite towns of Westhoughton and Horwich which offer an array of shops, services and supermarkets which complements the large retail development close to the towns football stadium.

The location strikes an excellent balance of access to the surrounding countryside but is not so remote and the transport infrastructure is ideal for those commuting towards Manchester. The town is served by a variety of primary and secondary schools and offers an excellent family friendly package.
