Chorley New Road, Heaton, Bolton BL1

Spacious 4-Bed Detached Family Home In Prestigious Heaton Location

Ferndale – A Peaceful Haven Tucked Behind Chorley New Road
Nestled discreetly off Chorley New Road in the sought-after Heaton district, Ferndale offers an elegant blend of traditional charm and modern family living. Built by Holman and Smith, a respected small local builder of bespoke houses, and cherished by just one careful owner since construction, this four-bedroom detached residence exudes timeless appeal. Framed by mature hedging and accessed via the private, quiet Wykeham Mews (off New Hall Lane), it combines architectural quality with enduring warmth. With its immaculate brick-and-render exterior and a front lawn striped to perfection, this is a home that promises both serenity and substance—an idyllic stage for everyday living and treasured family moments.

First Impressions That Last
Arriving at Ferndale, a wide block-paved driveway introduces you to beautifully tended gardens and a classic, symmetrical façade. The welcoming gabled porch draws you in with quiet character, hinting at the generous scale and carefully considered layout that lies beyond the front door.

A Ground Floor for Modern Family Life
Step into a light-filled entrance hall—the central artery of the home—where each room is positioned with purpose. To the left, the full-depth living room stretches from front to back, bathed in light from dual-aspect windows. A feature fireplace creates a natural focal point, making this an inviting space to gather, entertain, or simply unwind.

Adjacent lies the formal dining room, overlooking the rear garden—a versatile space just as suited for Sunday dinners as it is for use as a second sitting room or children's playroom.

At the heart of the home, the kitchen/breakfast room serves as the family hub. White units are arranged in a practical u-shape, incorporating a breakfast bar that smartly defines the cooking and dining zones. The space is well-equipped with a built-in electric oven and grill, a 4-ring gas hob, integrated fridge-freezer, and dishwasher. The dining area, perfectly positioned by sliding glass doors, opens effortlessly to the garden.

Off the kitchen, a utility room offers practical workspace, plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, a stainless steel sink, and further access to the garden.

Completing the ground floor is a peaceful front-facing office—perfect for remote work or study—and a stylishly appointed guest WC.

Four Beautiful Bedrooms
Upstairs, the sense of space continues. The main bedroom overlooks the front garden and is thoughtfully designed with fitted wardrobes, matching bedside drawers, and a built-in dressing table. A generous en-suite includes a bath, separate shower, WC and pedestal basin—providing a tranquil escape at day’s end.

Two further double bedrooms overlook the rear garden, offering peaceful leafy views, while a single bedroom at the front is ideal for a nursery, dressing room, or compact guest space.

A large five-piece family bathroom—with both bath and walk-in shower—adds further convenience for busy family life.

Gardens to Grow Into
Step out into the rear garden, where a raised lawn is bordered by mature trees and shrubs, offering remarkable privacy and a calming green outlook. A lower patio terrace provides the perfect setting for summer barbecues, morning coffee, or simply enjoying the birdsong.

To the side, a double detached garage offers abundant storage or workshop potential—with future conversion possibilities (STPP). A gate offers practical side access, while the substantial front garden—stretching to Chorley New Road—is a rare delight. With ample space and potential for a future driveway directly off the main road (subject to planning), the plot is both private and full of possibility.

Location & Lifestyle
Set back from the main road, No. 222 Chorley New Road enjoys the best of both worlds—peace and privacy, paired with unrivalled convenience.

From your front door, access the M61 and M60 motorways, along with Bolton rail station on the West Coast Main Line, offering fast links to Manchester, Preston, and London. Manchester Airport is also within easy reach for frequent travellers.

Local amenities abound, with Middlebrook Retail Park nearby for shopping, dining, cinema and leisure. Bolton town centre, brimming with culture, cafés, and commerce, is just a short drive away.

Families will appreciate the superb choice of schools, not least the prestigious Bolton School, located just 500 yards from the home, alongside a range of other excellent local primaries and secondaries.

For weekend dining or a relaxed drink, head to The Retreat—a popular neighbourhood restaurant just a short stroll from the house. And with Manchester city centre only around 12 minutes away outside peak hours, a world of culinary and cultural offerings lies on your doorstep.

Ferndale – Space, Style & Future Potential
Spacious, warm and welcoming, Ferndale offers exceptional versatility for growing families, work-from-home professionals, or those seeking a home with annex potential or room to evolve. This is a rare offering in one of Heaton’s most coveted enclaves—where lifestyle, location and luxury converge seamlessly.
