Park View, Eagley, Bolton Offers in the Region Of £190,000

Explore the timeless allure of Park View within the Eagley Bank Conservation Area, where history and charm converge. Hidden just off Playfair Street, you'll find a picturesque row of stone-built, Grade II listed terraced cottages, each with its own story to tell. These homes, originally constructed in the 1830s to house local millworkers, have retained their historic character and continue to evoke a sense of heritage.

Among them, discover Number 31 Park View, a home that embodies the quaint charm of the area. While it offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, this home is in need of a little refurbishment and updating, providing a unique opportunity to restore and personalise its historic features. As you approach the front of the home, a welcoming porch greets you, leading you inside through a stable-style door and into the cosy embrace of the lounge. Here, the past seamlessly blends with the present, ready to be revitalised with your own modern touch.

Welcome Home

The large wooden sash window, installed in 2012, provides a charming view of the front garden, bringing a sense of tranquillity into the home. This window not only floods the room with natural light but also serves as a beautiful frame for the ever-changing scenery outside.

At the heart of the living space is a cosy multi-fuel stove, set upon a robust stone hearth that exudes rustic charm. Flanked by elegant arched alcoves, this feature creates the perfect focal point for arranging your furniture, making the room both warm and inviting. The rich, stained timber flooring adds to the room’s character, offering a timeless appeal that complements the cottage's historic essence. Additionally, a built-in shelf beneath the window provides a practical and stylish spot for displaying books, decorative items, or personal treasures.

At the rear, the country-style kitchen is arranged in an L-shape, featuring a built-in electric oven, four-ring gas hob, and a stainless steel extractor above. The stainless steel sink and drainer are perfectly positioned to overlook the enclosed rear yard, bringing in natural light and a pleasant view. There's also space for a freestanding fridge freezer, offering flexibility in your kitchen setup.

A timber door leads directly from the kitchen to the rear yard, making it easy to transition between indoor and outdoor spaces. A staircase from the kitchen leads down to the cellar, offering easy access. It’s perfect for storage but also presents an opportunity to tank the space, potentially adding significant value to the property.

Ascend the staircase to the first floor, where you’ll find two inviting bedrooms. The main bedroom, located at the front of the home, offers serene views over the garden. This room is bathed in natural light and features high ceilings, enhancing its spacious and airy feel. Decorated in a soft, pale blue, it creates a calming atmosphere. The room is also equipped with specially built pine wardrobes for maximum storage along with an additional built-in cupboard.

At the rear of the home, the second bedroom offers a peaceful retreat, neutrally decorated to suit any style. This room features a built-in shelf within an alcove, adding both charm and practicality to the space.

Serving both bedrooms is a three-piece bathroom, complete with a WC, a vanity sink, and a bath with a shower overhead, complemented by a glazed screen and a heated towel rail.

Step Outside

Outside, just opposite the front door, you'll find a charming garden. This outdoor space features a lawn, bordered by a timber fence that offers both privacy and a touch of rustic charm. Flourishing plant beds add a burst of colour and life to the front of the garden, while a storage shed at the rear provides practical space for tools and gardening supplies.

At the back of the home, a paved patio area offers a versatile outdoor spot, perfect for relaxing or entertaining. This space also features gated access to the rear parking area, where an allocated spot is conveniently located right next to the rear timber gate. The hardstanding offers both ease of parking and the potential for seamless outdoor living.
