2 bed penthouse for sale

Blackburn Road, Bolton BL1

A unique two-bedroom penthouse apartment with private rooftop terrace.

No onward chain.

Set within the impressive Grade II listed Holden Mill (The Cottonworks), this distinctive two-bedroom penthouse apartment offers a fantastic combination of character, modern living, allocated parking and, most notably, a private rooftop terrace with stunning views.

Positioned on the second floor from ground level, the apartment offers well-proportioned accommodation throughout and is accessed via the development's secure communal areas. There are three main entrance points to the building, with Entrance C providing the most convenient access to this apartment. The allocated, numbered parking space is located on the second floor and is accessed via a one-way parking system. The development also benefits from three stairway access points with lifts, as well as a goods lift, providing additional convenience when moving larger items into the building.

Upon entering, you are welcomed into an L-shaped entrance hallway which provides access to all principal rooms. The hallway benefits from a telecom system and useful storage. There are two storage cupboards, with one housing the property's water-heating system and providing additional storage, while the second provides further storage and houses the electric consumer unit.

The spacious living area is located at the end of the hallway and provides a bright and versatile space for both relaxing and entertaining. The room benefits from windows overlooking two sides of the rooftop terrace, creating an attractive outlook and allowing plenty of natural light into the apartment. There is also direct access onto the rooftop terrace, making it an easy extension of the main living space.

The rooftop terrace is undoubtedly one of the property's standout features. Offering a generous private outdoor space that is rarely found with apartment living, the terrace benefits from decked flooring, freestanding storage sheds and stunning views across the surrounding area. Positioned away from the main road, it provides an excellent space to sit outside, entertain guests or simply enjoy the views during the warmer months. The terrace can also be accessed directly from the master bedroom.

The fitted kitchen is located off the living area and comprises a range of built-in units, electric hob, electric oven, extractor fan and sink. There is also space for both a washing machine and tumble dryer.

The apartment offers two double bedrooms. The second bedroom overlooks the rooftop terrace and provides a comfortable double bedroom with a pleasant outlook.

The master bedroom offers excellent proportions and benefits from direct access onto the private rooftop terrace. The room also has the added benefit of its own ensuite shower room.

The main bathroom comprises a bath with wall-mounted shower, WC and wash basin, together with a heated towel rail, extractor fan and useful storage.

Holden Mill provides a distinctive setting with genuine character. Originally constructed in 1927 as one of Bolton's historic cotton mills, the Grade II listed building has since been transformed into a residential development while retaining much of its original character and architectural identity. The result is a unique development combining the heritage of the former mill with the convenience of modern apartment living.

The property is conveniently situated on the border of Astley Bridge and Sharples, with a range of local shops, amenities and public transport links nearby. Bolton town centre is also within easy reach, offering a wide selection of shops, restaurants, bars and everyday amenities. The A666 provides convenient access towards the wider motorway network and Manchester, making the location particularly appealing to commuters.

Within the development, residents benefit from electronically operated gated access, communal areas, maintained grounds, allocated parking and lift access.

The real attraction of this property is the combination of its penthouse position and private rooftop terrace. Apartment living often means compromising on outdoor space, but this property offers a generous area that can genuinely be used and enjoyed. Combined with two double bedrooms, an ensuite, allocated parking and the character of a Grade II listed building, this is an apartment that offers something genuinely different.

Whether you are a first-time buyer, professional couple, downsizer or investor, this property offers a fantastic opportunity to own a home with character, practical living space and an outdoor area that is difficult to find with most apartments.
