Space, Style & Contemporary Family Living

Set back from the road behind electric gates, Ruther Glen is a distinctive four-bedroom detached home offering impressive proportions, considered upgrades, and versatile living spaces in one of Bolton’s most sought-after residential settings. Positioned within the ever-popular Egerton area, the property balances open-plan contemporary living with more traditional reception rooms, creating a home equally suited to relaxed family life and entertaining.

The layout has been carefully enhanced over time, including an extension above the garage that expands the first-floor accommodation, while recent improvements, from a refitted kitchen and bathrooms to new carpets and fresh décor, give the interior a refined, move-in-ready feel. Outside, the landscaped garden, redesigned only a few years ago, provides a private and inviting backdrop that complements the generous interior.

Welcome Home

Approaching the property, the sense of arrival is immediate, with the house set back from Blackburn Road behind secure electric gates. A spacious driveway provides parking for multiple vehicles and is wired ready for EV charger installation, while a substantial front lawn framed by mature trees and established planting softens the approach and enhances the home’s kerb appeal. Step inside to a welcoming interior that has been recently repainted throughout, setting a calm and contemporary tone from the outset.

The main lounge centres around a contemporary inset electric fire framed by a bold metallic surround, creating a striking architectural focal point within this generously proportioned reception space. From here, an opening leads through to the sitting room, a more intimate and characterful retreat centred around an open gas fire, perfect for quieter evenings away from the main living area.

At the heart of the home lies the open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area, designed with modern family life in mind. Installed around four years ago, the kitchen combines sleek cabinetry with integrated appliances - including new ovens, a steamer, dishwasher, and fridge, all included as seen. A hot tap adds everyday convenience, while the layout flows naturally into the dining space, forming a bright and sociable setting with direct connection to the garden beyond.

Practicality is equally well considered, with a ground-floor WC and access to the impressive double garage, offering excellent storage and flexibility for hobbies or secure parking.

Elevated Living & Private Retreats

From the main lounge, a staircase with a contemporary glass balustrade rises to the first floor, where a bright and spacious landing is enhanced by a striking arched window that fills the space with natural light. The extension above the garage has significantly enhanced the footprint, creating a well-balanced layout with four well-proportioned bedrooms, including an impressive principal suite positioned within the extended section. From the landing, a separate inner corridor leads to both the principal suite and a further bedroom, adding a sense of privacy and thoughtful zoning to the accommodation. Newly carpeted areas and a soft, neutral palette continue the cohesive feel throughout.

The principal suite is a true highlight, offering both scale and luxury. Generous proportions allow for a super-king arrangement with ease, while a feature wall and muted tones create a relaxed, boutique-hotel atmosphere. Flowing seamlessly from the bedroom is an impressive walk-in dressing room, fully fitted with open wardrobes, shelving, and display space, providing both practicality and a sense of indulgence rarely found in homes of this style. Beyond, the en suite has been beautifully refitted with contemporary tiling, a walk-in shower, floating vanity storage, sleek chrome fittings, and a bath, delivering a refined, spa-like retreat for everyday living.

The remaining bedrooms are equally well arranged, with one benefitting from its own adjoining dressing area, creating a private and practical space ideal for guests or older children. Another bedroom includes fitted wardrobes, while the fourth offers flexibility as a nursery, home office, or additional bedroom depending on your needs.

Serving this floor is a stylishly refitted family bathroom, finished with contemporary large-format tiling, sleek vanity storage, and a spacious walk-in shower, complemented by a separate WC for added convenience.

Outdoor Living

Stepping through sliding doors from the kitchen, the garden unfolds as a natural extension of the home’s sociable living space, perfectly suited to relaxed mornings, easy outdoor living, and effortless entertaining. The south-west facing aspect ensures the terrace and lawn enjoy excellent natural light throughout the day and into the evening, creating an inviting setting for al fresco dining and summer gatherings.

A generous stone terrace provides multiple seating areas, while the landscaped garden beyond offers a spacious lawn framed by mature hedging and established planting, creating a private and tranquil backdrop. Designed to balance style with practicality, the outdoor space feels both secluded and beautifully connected to the interior - ideal for hosting at dusk or simply unwinding during warmer months.
