Exceptional Features & Flexibility

Built just seven years ago and with three years remaining on its structural warranty, this unique property is ideal for multi-generational living and packed with features that truly make it the ultimate family hub. Perched on an elevated plot, the home enjoys far-reaching views from the front, while the back boasts a serene, woodland-like setting with plenty of privacy.

This thoughtfully designed property features four spacious bedrooms, three bathrooms, and convenient WCs on the main and top floors. The expansive double garage, added only four years ago, includes an office above and could easily be converted into additional living space if needed. The top-floor cinema room, another standout luxury, offers yet more potential for extra bedrooms or a second lounge.

Entertainment and comfort are at the heart of this home. Highlights include a roof terrace with a hot tub (included!), a garden with an outdoor kitchen, and even a treehouse for the kids. The fully integrated remote-controlled audio-visual system manages lighting, TVs, speaker systems, and the cinema room, while underfloor heating throughout ensures year-round comfort.

First Impressions

You’ll discover the house on the edge of town, near lovely parks and Smithills Country Park, great schools, and excellent transport links. The contemporary front elevation is particularly handsome, with its prominent picture windows and showpiece glazed gable. Set behind a stone wall, the pretty tiered front garden is framed with attractive fencing and steps leading to the side.

The large gravelled parking area lies to the rear, accessed off Harper’s Lane via a cobbled road. The property also benefits from a massive, brick-built double garage with exterior lighting. Above, dual-aspect windows and a roof lantern flood a first-floor office with natural light. Fitted with bespoke furniture and full-height cupboards, it’s a fantastic business space warmed by a thick carpet and electric fireplace with an elegant stone mantelpiece and point for a TV above.

Open the gate by the additional tarmacked parking area in front of the main entrance, crossing a gravelled garden and tiled terrace with steps down to the side for easy access to the utility room. Ahead, a solid wood front door with chrome furniture leads into a useful porch.

Middle Floor Mastery 

Sandwiched between the private sleeping quarters and the dedicated entertainment level on the top floor, the ground or middle floor is devoted to family time. At the back, you’ll discover a substantial spot-lit living room, where a trio of enormous picture windows frame the leafy views extending into the distance.

Two big windows on either side of a cosy inset fireplace with alcoves for wood storage further brighten the sitting area, which combines calm neutral shades with a plush grey carpet, warm acoustic slat panelling, and a bespoke media wall for instant relaxation.

Meanwhile, glossy white floor tiles run beneath a dedicated dining area, lit by beautiful feature pendant lights that echo those illuminating the statement carpeted stairwell in a large entrance hallway. Here, the matching heated floor tiles continue in a spacious, modern WC and a super-stylish, dual-aspect spot-lit dining kitchen (also accessed from the living room).

Begin in the casual seating area, which pairs acoustic slat panelling on the media wall with an impressive full-height window and sliding doors to the garden, screened by fitted blinds. Beyond, sleek grey cabinetry topped with speckled black granite and a raised bar add a futuristic edge.

Integrated NEFF appliances include an oven, microwave, drinks fridge, induction hob with ceiling extractor, and a concealed dishwasher and fridge-freezer. You’ll also find a large sink with a pull-out tap and a sunny dining area brightened by a bay window and a copper pendant light – a lovely spot to enjoy breakfast or peruse recipe books for inspiration.

Next Level Entertaining  

Upstairs, the bright landing leads past a WC into a spot-lit cinema room featuring a huge screen enhanced by mood lighting and a projector. Take a break from films, turning your attention to the bespoke gabled window, which is fitted with wooden shutters and offers impressive views over to Smithills Forest and Horrocks Wood while cosying up by the log burner.

Follow the wooden floor to the bi-fold doors, which reveal an incredible south-facing roof terrace finished with composite decking. Here, you can kick back and relax in the hot tub while drinking in cloud-dotted or starry skies.

A Restful Escape

All four double bedrooms are tucked away on the lower ground floor, connected by a bright and modern hallway with in-built storage cupboards, mood lighting, and high-quality flooring. Each room features heated floor tiles, subtle décor, and integrated wardrobes. Two also enjoy access to luxury en suites with high-spec sanitaryware and rainfall showers.

In the family bathroom, glossy stone-effect floor and wall tiles surround a stunning freestanding bath with a waterfall tap, a double walk-in rainfall shower enclosure, a back-to-wall toilet, and a countertop basin on a wooden vanity unit, matching the double basins in the primary suite. There’s also a heated towel rail and a waterproof television fitted into the wall.

The laundry room has been placed on this floor to ensure a clutter-free environment upstairs. It contains fitted cream cabinetry, a metro-tiled splashback for the wooden worksurfaces, a deep Belfast sink, a pulley clothes airier, a TV point, and space for two laundry appliances. 

Al Fresco Living 

Outside, steps from the front terrace lead down to a neat lawn with raised flower borders, while the sliding doors in the kitchen open to a private, south-facing walled garden at the rear. Follow the tiled path along the lawn to reach a fully equipped, stone-effect kitchen and outdoor living room, complete with a fire pit table, nestled under the pergola.

Finished with the highest quality appliances with their own mains gas, water and electricity connections, it even boasts a pizza oven, barbecue and drinks fridge. Hanging lights and alcoves for candles encourage evening summer parties – if you can be tempted down from the hot tub on the roof terrace. The children will also love the secret woodland-style garden and treehouse hiding by the garage. 

Out & About

Smithills is a residential suburb on the outskirts of Bolton, with Moss Bank Way just a short walk from spectacular views and the Manchester skyline. The area is home to Smithills Hall, a Grade I listed scheduled monument and one of the oldest manor houses in North West England. Open to the public, it’s set in 48-hectare gardens and pleasure grounds, including a steep wooded valley, lake, and formal gardens. For refreshments, visit the Bake & Roast Tearoom.

On the Smithills Hall Estate, the Woodland Trust is regenerating an area of grassland, farmland, moorland, ravines and bog habitats, crisscrossed by dry stone walls and panoramic views over Bolton to Manchester. History buffs will love the 6-mile hike over Winter Hill for its glimpses into the past, while the gentler Barrow Bridge Trail is great for spotting wildflowers.

Smithills Open Farm is also fantastic for families, while Moss Bank Park has a large play area for children, fairground rides, a mini steam train and gardens to explore. A short drive away, you’ll discover popular country parks, such as Jumbles and Seven Acres, to name a couple.

Getting Around

The area is convenient for the nearby motorway network via the A666 and the M61/M60, linking you to the north and the regional hubs of Liverpool and Manchester. The bus stop on Smithills Dean Road is only a few minutes’ walk away, allowing easy transport into the town centre, around a 10-minute drive.

A delightful historic mill town, Bolton is home to numerous amenities, including major supermarkets, discount stores, and retail parks providing a myriad of goods and services, with Middlebrook Retail and Leisure Park only 15 minutes by car. For journeys further afield, Bolton station runs services to Manchester in 20 minutes and to London Euston in 2.5 hours.

Schools 

Red House Nursery and Oxford Grove Primary (both Ofsted-rated ‘Outstanding’) lie within walking distance, with Smithills Secondary (next to the sports complex) just five minutes on foot. The area also has a choice of Church of England, Roman Catholic and Islamic schools. Alternatively, you’re just a short drive from Bolton School and Clevelands Prep.
