The first floor hosts two comfortable bedrooms, including a sizable main bedroom with fitted wardrobes. A larger-than-average bathroom completes this level, featuring essential amenities that could be enhanced during renovations. The outdoor space includes a split-level rear yard ideal for entertaining, alongside useful brick storage options and secure parking through a roller shutter carport. Positioned conveniently within reach of local amenities such as shops, schools, and transport links to Bolton town centre and beyond, this property holds strong potential for first-time buyers or investors looking for a project in a desirable location.
