Moorland Drive is a small, established cul-de-sac close to Old Vicarage Road and New Chapel Lane which is a very well-regarded part of town.
The bungalows in this vicinity offer a more individual style of build when compared to those dwellings positioned on a modern development. It is important to note that this particular home enjoys a private corner plot and includes a mature, well stocked garden, likely to look at its best during spring and summer when the many plants and shrubs emerge.
The design offers great flexibility and given that the home has not been extended, there is great potential to enlarge and/or reconfigure the layout should this be desired. As it stands, the home is configured with three rear facing bedrooms and one of those rooms is currently used as a pleasant garden room. The bathroom has been converted into a modern shower room and to the front there is a generous prime reception room, combined hallway and second reception room plus the kitchen.
True bungalows are an increasingly sought after property type and their general lack of supply produces consistent rates of interest. The sale will not include an onward chain which can be seen as a great positive for potential buyers.
Our vendor has advised that the property is Freehold. Council Tax Band D.
Moorland Drive is a high calibre address around a mile and a half from Horwich town centre and around two miles from both junction 6 of the M61 and Horwich Parkway train station. This station is on the mainline to Manchester city centre and the airport.
The area manages to strike a lovely balance of these convenient amenities with superb access to the surrounding countryside and therefore the location tends to attract people who enjoy spending time outdoors. There are footpaths leading immediately from the area with access towards High Rid reservoir, whilst the nearby Georges Lane is one of the main access routes towards Rivington Pike and its associated moorland. Many locals consider Manchester and the Trafford Centre an appropriate distance to shop and socialise and is therefore another great attribute to the area. Similarly, Middlebrook Retail Park is just 2 miles away and plays host to a number of well known retailers and eateries.
Horwich centre is a thriving market style town centre with a host of independent shops and services plus the great benefit of a recently constructed, large health care centre and modern leisure centre which are just outside the centre itself.
