YOU are in for a rare treat for our Property of the Week, as we have picked out a period family home which was made by combining two stone cottages together.

This is a charming property which has three receptions, three bedrooms, two bathrooms and to top it off there is a study or nursery which you can access off the master bedroom.

This lovely property is in Dove Bank Road in Little Lever and is on the market with Cardwells in Bolton for £259,950.

It has all the great characteristics of a cottage being situated in a quiet cul-de-sac with little passing traffic and you can enjoy a walk in the beautiful countryside nearby.

One of the many impressive features in the house is the character and charm of exposed wooden beams and then in the lounge you have a uPVC bay window to the front, exposed brickwork to the fireplace, beamed ceiling, feature arched doorway, and spiral staircase up to the master bedroom suite.

In the beautifully fitted kitchen, there is a range of matching drawers, base and wall cabinets and a Rangemaster cooker with oven, grill, plate warmer and five ring gas hob and then it opens to the dining room.

There is a back porch which opens out onto the rear garden and there is a quarry-tiled floor.

Then in the family room there is an exposed stone to fireplace and beamed ceiling.

Upstairs the first floor landing opens up to the master bedroom which looks out onto the front of the property and has an en-suite shower room and study/dressing room.

The shower room is a modern three-piece suite which includes a large glass shower enclosure with overhead and handheld shower options, washing basin with built under storage base and dual flush toilet.

The second bedroom has feature wallpaper to one wall and the chimney breast while the third bedroom overlooks the back of the property.

There is a three-piece family bathroom suite comprising pedestal wash and basin, toilet and bath.

The front garden is set behind a low-level wall with wrought iron railings and entrance gate containing mature shrubs and small trees which enhance the privacy.

Meanwhile the back garden is fully enclosed and designed for all year round enjoyment being predominantly flagged for easy maintenance with an excellent range of mature shrubs and trees bringing colour and privacy to the garden. There is a superb summer house and garden shed.
