Location
The site is located close to the the junction of Bradshaw Brow with Turton Road with direct access from Maple Street, placing it at the heart of one of Bolton's most desirable residential areas. This sought-after location benefits from excellent connectivity, with the A676 providing a direct link between Bolton and Ramsbottom, passing through the scenic village of Bradshaw. Nearby villages include Bradshaw, Bromley Cross, Egerton, Edgworth and Harwood.
Situated on the border between the sought-after villages of Bradshaw and Turton, this property enjoys the best of both worlds - a semi-rural setting with excellent local conveniences. Situated near to the countryside and charming stone-built homes, the area offers a blend of peaceful living and practical accessibility.
