IF you are looking for a character home as the next step on the property ladder then perhaps this could be the one for you.

Old Hall Mews in Heaton is on the market with Cardwells in Bolton and offers are wanted in the region of £635,000.

It is nestled a semi rural position, tucked away just off Old Kiln Lane and the stone built barn conversion is one of only a few homes set within this idyllic hamlet with stunning farmland views.

You walk through the double glazed stable style door leading to kitchen and breakfast room which has a country style with fitted wall and base units and wooden working surfaces, inset one and a half bowl single drainer stainless steel sink unit with mixer tap, gas Aga oven, space for a fridge freezer and quarry tiled floor.
