Stone cottages of this calibre and in such highly regarded locations are rarely offered to the open market. 7 Montcliffe Cottages perfectly encapsulates the charm and character associated with this style of home, while also benefiting from practical modern-day conveniences.

Montcliffe Cottages are positioned in an excellent semi-rural area at the foot of the West Pennine Moors, yet are remarkably well placed for excellent transport links including junction 6 of the M61 and Horwich Parkway train station which both link to Manchester and are approximately 3.5 miles away. The location provides a great sense of open space and allows the owners to be immersed in the impressive countryside environment. Many people who live within the area comment on the enviable ability to work in and around Manchester city centre and yet retreat in the evening to enjoy the open hills and moors.

In terms of retail opportunities, Horwich town centre which is just under 1.5 miles away and plays host to a vast array of largely independently owned shops and services. These commercial outlets go hand in hand with those at the Middlebrook retail development closed to the afore-mentioned train station which includes a cinema, gym and large supermarkets etc.... That said, many locals consider Manchester and the Trafford Centre as an appropriate distance to shop and socialise.

The area is served by a number of sports and racquet clubs. Education/childcare facilities are available from nursery through to sixth form, and it is also important to note that the bus route to Bolton School passes at the end of Georges Lane with the school itself just under four miles away.
