Louvre doors open to an airing cupboard which houses the hot water cylinder tank at a half-landing before the stairs rise to the first-floor landing which widens to left and right and has a Velux window above. Mahogany doors open to all the rooms on this floor, most of which have exposed purlins giving the ceilings added character.

The first bedroom, with pale wood laminate flooring, has a Juliet balcony to the rear beyond uPVC French doors. Central pendant lighting illuminates the room and a radiator warms it. A door leads to a fully tiled en suite bathroom with a three-piece white suite comprising a vanity cupboard inset with a wash hand basin and waterfall tap, low-flush w.C. And a glazed cubicle with power shower having both drencher and hand-held shower heads. The contemporary style is enhanced by a black panel radiator and illuminated mirror.

The uPVC window to the rear is set above a radiator and there are recessed downlights to the ceiling.

A side gate opens to the rear, stone-walled and secluded garden area which is laid to lawn with mature trees and shrubs. Specimen trees provide shelter and screening to the patio area which, as the internal description explains, has three sets of French doors leading on to it.

A brick-built barbeque area to the side has stone steps leading to a further patio area with stepping stones following beneath a mature spruce tree which meanders towards a raised patio having a seating area and summer house to take advantage of the glorious rural views over the tree-tops towards Wigan. From this vantage point we can view the nine-acre field down to the duck pond with shed and jetty and which is well-stocked with carp. There is a separate access for vehicles lower down Pendlebury Lane. A raised, grassed triangle to the side of the house has an orchard and can be used for recreational or agricultural purposes.
