Welcome to Hollymount!

Set back from the road behind a generous front lawn and mature hedging, this two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow offers an exciting renovation project for those looking to create a bespoke home full of character. Located in the highly sought-after area of Over Hulton, this property is bursting with period features, generous proportions, and endless potential.

From the moment you step into the charming hallway with its original stained glass panels and ornate detailing, you’re reminded of the home's early 20th-century charm. Inside, the layout includes two reception rooms, a large front-facing lounge with bay window, two double bedrooms, a bathroom, and a compact kitchen leading to a small garden room.

While the property requires full renovation throughout, it offers a solid canvas for transformation. High ceilings, large windows, original fireplaces, and timber detailing can all be retained and restored, or reimagined with modern design to suit contemporary living. Many neighbouring properties have also converted their loft space into additional bedrooms, making the most of the open-field views to the rear and highlighting the scope for similar future expansion here.

Outside, the expansive lawned front garden offers excellent kerb appeal, and the plot provides space for landscaping. The bungalow enjoys a prime position with excellent access to local shops, green spaces, motorway links, and reputable schools.

Whether you're a developer, investor, or a homeowner with vision, this property is a rare chance to breathe new life into a beautiful character property in one of Bolton’s most desirable locations.

EPC Rating: F

Entrance Hall (3.78m x 3.00m)

The hallway sets the tone for the property with its unmistakable period charm, featuring original stained glass panels around the front door that offer a beautiful nod to the home’s heritage. Decorative cornicing and wood trim around the doorframes add further character, though all elements are in need of full refurbishment. The original light fitting and timber floorboards are still present, both of which could be lovingly restored or replaced depending on design preferences. The hallway presents a fantastic opportunity to be transformed into a bright, welcoming space with high ceilings and period detailing. Ideal for those looking to blend original features with modern updates.

Lounge (5.92m x 4.09m)

The space retains some charming original features, such as the timber fireplace surround with a tiled hearth and built-in mirror, which could be restored or reimagined. A large bay window to the front allows natural light to flood in, complemented by a secondary window to the side, making this one of the brightest rooms in the property. Despite its current state, the lounge has tremendous potential to become a beautiful open-plan or formal sitting room. With high ceilings, generous proportions, and a strong sense of character.

Reception Room (3.64m x 3.21m)

Currently presented as a dark secondary living space, this room is ripe for reimagining. The room features a tiled fireplace surrounded by fitted cupboards and drawers, typical of mid-century design. A large window with leaded panes brings in some natural light, though the overgrown external foliage outside limit its effect. Though in need of complete cosmetic and structural overhaul, this room could serve as a formal dining space, study, or even a third bedroom depending on your renovation goals. The proportions are good, and original timber features, including built-in cabinetry, offer the chance to preserve character while introducing modern function.

Master Bedroom (4.11m x 3.67m)

A large front-facing window brings in natural light. Despite the neglect, the room's scale, ceiling height, and natural light offer excellent renovation potential. With modern finishes and a fresh layout, this could easily be restored to a bright and elegant principal bedroom.

Bedroom 2 (3.63m x 3.34m)

The window offers reasonable natural light. Yellow-painted timber skirting and dado rails run around the room, adding a hint of period character that could be restored or modernised. With a full strip-out and renovation, this room could make a suitable guest bedroom, office, or nursery. Its proportions are modest but usable, and its rear-facing position gives it potential for quiet comfort once fully refurbished.

Bathroom (2.59m x 1.70m)

The bathroom is slightly more modern in appearance than the rest of the property. It features a corner shower unit with sliding glass doors, a compact pedestal sink, and a standard close-coupled toilet. The room is relatively bright thanks to a large frosted window with leaded glass detail. With a full redesign, this space could be transformed into a sleek modern bathroom, either as a contemporary shower room or with a reconfigured layout to include a bath, depending on buyer needs.

Garden

Despite being overgrown today, the outside space is one of this bungalow’s biggest assets. Behind the bungalow the plot falls away into a belt of mature trees before opening straight onto unspoilt farmland, no houses, just fields and big skies as far as you can see. Comparable homes on this stretch are actively marketed for their open aspect views at the rear, a real value booster for any refurbishment here.
