Long Lane, Westhoughton BL5

A substantial character home, tucked away off Long Lane, offering privacy, space and no onward chain.

The kitchen is fitted with bespoke solid oak doors and opens into a bright dining area, where French doors overlook the garden and allow plenty of natural light into the room. This space works well for everyday family life as well as entertaining.

A utility room, downstairs WC and internal access to the double garage add further practicality. The garage itself offers secure parking, storage and workshop potential, making it ideal for those needing additional usable space.

To the first floor, there are four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a spacious principal bedroom with fitted furniture, a dressing area, dual-aspect windows and an en-suite bathroom. The second bedroom also benefits from fitted storage and its own en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms offer flexibility for family use, guests or working from home.

A large landing area provides additional space and could lend itself to a home office, reading area or further relaxation space, depending on the buyer’s needs. The family bathroom completes the first-floor accommodation.

Externally, the gardens provide a peaceful and private outdoor setting, ideal for relaxing, outdoor dining or simply enjoying the surroundings. The property also benefits from an attached external storage area, further enhancing the practicality on offer.

This is a home that will particularly appeal to buyers who value privacy, space and character, while still wanting access to everyday amenities and commuter links. The position, setting and scale of the property are best appreciated in person.
