This unique property, known as The Old Clock Tower, is a remarkable investment opportunity nestled in the picturesque hamlet of Eagley Bank. Dating back to 1865, this Grade II Listed building boasts an intriguing history as the Stables and Coach House of Sir John Holden, a notable mill owner. Its striking stone façades and exquisite interior details reflect Victorian craftsmanship and local heritage.
The interiors present an impressive canvas for renovation. With over 1600 square feet of ground floor space, the property includes the Stables with its soaring open-trussed ceilings, intricate stone corbels, and beautifully crafted timberwork that speak to its historical significance. The substantial York stone flooring adds character throughout, while sunlight filters in through arched windows that frame the exposed Ruabon Red brickwork—a testament to its storied past.
Beyond the captivating Stables lies the Coach House and Tack Room, both of which offer flexible options for conversion. These versatile spaces could serve as a separate annexe for guests or be transformed into dedicated workspaces, depending on your vision. The potential to create an expansive two-storey living area or a partial mezzanine adds further appeal for those looking to customize their living environment.
Outside, the property commands attention with its prominent clock tower—a charming feature originally designed for visibility from Sir Holden's home and mill office. The cobbled driveway provides convenient private parking and leads to a well-sized south-facing garden that serves as a tranquil outdoor retreat.
Located within the Eagley Bank Conservation Area, this property is surrounded by attractive stone cottages and benefits from a strong sense of community. While it exudes historic charm, it's also conveniently positioned near Bolton Town Centre, offering easy access to shopping, schools, and leisure amenities. This setting not only enhances daily living but ensures long-term value in a sought-after residential area.
With appropriate planning permissions, The Old Clock Tower represents an extraordinary chance to revitalize a significant piece of Bolton's industrial past while designing a distinctive modern residence tailored to your needs. This is more than just a home; it’s an opportunity to create something truly special in a cherished locale.
