Abercorn Road, Smithills, Bolton

Just moments from beautiful countryside, moors, and woodland, this handsome 1930s house has the wow factor in spades. When the current owners bought the property in 2009, they instantly saw its potential and set to work transforming it into an ultra-high-spec family home.
They began with a loft conversion, which became a hotel-style en suite bedroom with a Juliet balcony to soak in the garden views. On the middle floor, they reconfigured the layout to enlarge the bathroom and put in the staircase to the loft conversion.
Meanwhile, the entire house was stripped back, re-plastered, and rewired, and a new central heating system served by a pressurised boiler was installed. New double glazing was fitted throughout, along with a new front door.
In 2014, the renovations began their next phase, which involved creating a wrap-around extension that made room for a fabulous kitchen/diner/living space with large sliding doors to frame the garden, as well as a study and utility with a WC. A hydronic underfloor heating system was also installed. The internal doors were replaced with hotel-style hinged fire-rated walnut doors throughout.
The garden was also landscaped to maximise the available space and create a modern lakeside oasis for relaxing and entertaining, while indoor and outdoor mood lighting enhanced the warm and inviting atmosphere. In addition, a resin-look drive was laid to the front to provide parking for three vehicles.
