Set along the ever-popular Bury Old Road in the heart of Ainsworth, this beautifully upgraded four-bedroom detached home offers a superb blend of village living, modern technology and refined family space. Positioned within a well-established residential area, the property enjoys excellent connectivity, with Bolton and Bury town centres both easily accessible and local amenities, schools and transport links close at hand. Behind its attractive frontage, the house has been comprehensively modernised and structurally enhanced, creating a home that feels both solid and effortlessly stylish.

Welcome Home

Approached via a smart double driveway, the house immediately sets the tone for the quality found throughout. The front elevation has been enhanced with full leadwork cladding to the two dormers, each fitted with modern tilt-and-turn windows, while discreet security lighting and pre-installed CCTV cabling provide peace of mind without detracting from the clean architectural lines.

Step inside and you are welcomed into an impressive entrance hall that immediately conveys a sense of space and design. Finished with elegant herringbone flooring and contemporary wall lighting, the hallway feels both refined and inviting, with natural light filtering through the glazed front door. From here, the layout flows effortlessly into the principal ground-floor rooms, while underfloor heating throughout the ground floor ensures year-round comfort with individual zone control to every room.

Flexible Living & Entertaining

To the front of the house is a generous ground-floor bedroom, offering excellent flexibility depending on lifestyle needs. Currently ideal as a guest suite, it could just as easily serve as an additional reception room, home office or snug, making it particularly appealing for multi-generational living or those working from home. Across the hall, the main living room provides a relaxed retreat, with ample space for family seating and views out to the rear, creating a calm and comfortable setting for everyday living.

The heart of the home lies to the rear, where the layout opens into a superb dining kitchen designed for modern family life and entertaining. The kitchen has been finished to a high standard, fitted with sleek cabinetry and an impressive suite of brand-new Bosch appliances including an oven, microwave oven, warming drawer, induction hob with built-in extractor, fridge and freezer. A Quooker boiling water tap adds both convenience and a touch of luxury, while generous worktop space and a central island encourage guests to gather and socialise. Flowing seamlessly from the kitchen, the dining area enjoys plenty of natural light and opens directly onto the newly laid porcelain paving and composite decking, creating an effortless connection between indoor and outdoor living. A separate utility room and ground-floor shower room add further practicality, keeping day-to-day life neatly organised.

Rest & Retreat Upstairs

The staircase rises from the entrance hall through the centre of the home, combining solid oak handrails with sleek black balustrading and a soft carpet runner for comfort. At the top, a spacious, double-height landing creates a real sense of arrival on the first floor, flooded with light and centred around a striking statement chandelier. This elegant transitional space adds architectural drama while providing a calm, cohesive connection between the bedrooms and bathrooms on this level.

From the landing, the first floor leads to three further bedrooms and the family bathroom. The principal suite is a true highlight of the home, offering a calm, hotel-style retreat that has clearly been designed with both comfort and impact in mind. The bedroom itself is generously proportioned and flooded with natural light, while the en suite elevates the space to something special. Finished with large-format porcelain tiling, it features a striking freestanding bath positioned beneath contemporary dormer windows, creating a beautiful focal point. A walk-in rainfall shower with glass enclosure, twin wall-mounted basins set into a sleek floating vanity, and matt black fittings complete the look, while subtle feature lighting and vertical slatted detailing add texture and warmth. It’s a space that feels indulgent yet refined, perfect for unwinding at the end of the day.

The remaining bedrooms on the first floor are all well proportioned doubles, each finished in a calm, neutral palette that allows new owners to personalise with ease. They offer excellent flexibility for family living, guest accommodation or home working, with generous floor space, modern finishes and plenty of natural light creating comfortable, practical rooms that work just as well day to day as they do long term.

Serving the remaining bedrooms is a beautifully finished family bathroom that continues the home’s high design standard. Fully tiled in large-format porcelain, the space has been thoughtfully laid out to balance everyday practicality with a refined, spa-like feel. A contemporary bath with wall-mounted taps sits alongside a separate walk-in rainfall shower with glass enclosure, while a sleek floating vanity with integrated basin and matt black fittings provides a crisp, modern contrast. Recessed lighting and a heated towel radiator complete a bathroom that feels both elegant and effortlessly functional for family use.

Thoughtful Design & Modern Infrastructure

Beyond its visual appeal, the home has undergone an extensive programme of upgrades, ensuring it is not only visually impressive but also technically robust and exceptionally well equipped for modern living.

Throughout the house, all internal walls and floors have been structurally upgraded and soundproofed, while a full rewire and Cat 6 data cabling to every room provide fast, reliable connectivity. A brand-new Worcester boiler paired with a 300-litre vented hot water cylinder and entirely new pipework delivers efficient, dependable heating and hot water, complemented by nine solar panels and a 5kW battery storage system to help reduce running costs.

Outdoor Living

To the rear, the garden has been designed with low maintenance and entertaining in mind. Newly laid porcelain paving and composite decking create stylish seating areas for summer dining, while the secure, private setting makes it ideal for families and social gatherings alike. The combination of practical finishes and thoughtful lighting ensures the space can be enjoyed from day through to evening.
