Description

**TRULY UNIQUE FOUR BEDROOM DETACHED HOME SET WITHIN APPROX. TWO ACRES ON SOUGHT-AFTER FOXHOLES ROAD**

Predominantly Bungalow Living – Four Bedrooms & Two En-Suites – Family Bathroom – Split-Level Dining Room – Log Burner – Utility Room – Approx. Two Acres including Woodland – Detached Double Garage – Stables & Garden Room – Potential Development Opportunity Subject to Planning

A truly unique opportunity to purchase Lamorna, an individually designed detached home occupying an exceptional position as the last house at the very top of Foxholes Road, one of Horwich’s most sought-after and prestigious semi-rural locations.

Set within approximately two acres of fabulous grounds including established gardens, woodland and additional land, the property offers a genuine slice of rural living whilst remaining only a short distance from the centre of Horwich. The current owner has sympathetically renovated and improved the home, creating substantial and versatile accommodation while retaining its individual character and predominantly bungalow-style layout.

The majority of the accommodation is arranged on one level, with only a small number of steps leading down into the main lounge, making the property ideal for those seeking generous predominantly flat-level living. The main house now provides four well-proportioned bedrooms, with two en-suites in addition to the family bathroom, alongside excellent reception space.

At the heart of the home is a characterful split-level dining area leading into the main lounge, where a log-burning stove provides an attractive focal point and adds to the cosy countryside feel. There is also a fitted kitchen, separate utility room and an excellent amount of flexible living space throughout.

The current owner has carried out a range of improvements including new windows, a modern boiler, external re-rendering and new internal doors, creating a home which combines its original individuality with a more contemporary and comfortable finish.

Externally is where Lamorna truly stands apart. The property sits within substantial private gardens, with a sweeping tarmac driveway providing ample parking, established lawns, mature flower and shrub borders and an attractive ornamental pond with waterfall feature. Beyond the main garden, the grounds extend into additional land and woodland, creating an exceptional sense of privacy and space rarely found so close to Horwich.

Within the grounds are stables, a substantial detached double garage and a recently installed garden room complete with its own bathroom, offering excellent flexibility as a home office, gym, entertaining room or hobby space. The current owner has fully embraced the rural setting, with the land currently home to ducks, chickens and even sheep, giving the property a genuine smallholding-style feel. The elevated setting also enjoys stunning 180-degree views across Lancashire and towards Merseyside.

The sheer size of the site also creates an exciting longer-term opportunity. Subject to all necessary planning permissions and consents, there may be potential for the redevelopment of part of the land for approximately two or three detached dwellings, potentially retaining generous gardens. Equally, buyers may simply wish to preserve the exceptional grounds and enjoy the privacy, woodland and rural lifestyle already on offer.

Foxholes Road is renowned locally for its individual homes, substantial plots and picturesque surroundings, with Lamorna enjoying arguably one of its finest positions at the very top of the road. The rolling Rivington countryside is quite literally on the doorstep, yet Horwich town centre, local pubs, restaurants and everyday amenities remain within easy reach.

There is also excellent access to the M61 motorway, Blackrod and Horwich Parkway train stations and Middlebrook Retail & Leisure Park, while a number of highly regarded schools are located within the wider area.

Combining a substantial renovated four-bedroom home, approximately two acres of grounds, woodland, stables, detached double garage, garden room, predominantly bungalow-style living and exciting future potential, Lamorna represents one of the most distinctive residential opportunities available in Horwich. Viewing is essential to fully appreciate the scale, setting and versatility on offer.
