A family home with its own indoor swimming pool has gone on the market for more than £1 million.

The detached property is located on Northwold Drive, a sought-after area in Heaton, Bolton.

With four bedrooms and three bathrooms, the home is listed by Miller Metcalfe for £1,150,000.

Built in the mid-1980s and occupied by the same family ever since, the house spans approximately 4,000 square feet.

It includes multiple reception rooms, a snooker room, and a swimming pool complex.

Miller Metcalfe said: "Standing proudly on a generous and enviable plot of just under half an acre, framed by mature trees and established hedging, 1 Northwold Drive is a substantial detached residence that has been a much-loved family home for many years.

"With over 4,000 sq ft of internal accommodation, this is a home that offers both immediate comfort and long-term potential, providing the perfect foundation for a forever family residence.

"While some areas would benefit from updating, the property offers exceptional scope for modernisation and improvement, with genuine potential to extend to either side, subject to the necessary planning permissions."

On the ground floor, the layout includes a formal lounge, a separate dining room, a third reception room, and a fitted kitchen with a utility room.

Upstairs, there are four double bedrooms.

The principal bedroom features an en-suite, while the second bedroom includes a large dressing room that could be converted into an additional en-suite, subject to approvals.

One of the home’s standout features is the indoor swimming pool complex.

The pool is connected via an inner hallway to a large additional reception room currently used as a snooker room.

This space could be adapted for use as a leisure suite, family room, or ground floor bedroom accommodation for extended family.

Doors from the pool area open onto the garden, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow.

The property sits on a plot of just under half an acre.

It features mature gardens, a multi-car driveway, and a double garage.

The gardens are private, bordered by established trees and hedging, and not overlooked.

Located off Victoria Road, Northwold Drive is known as one of Bolton’s most desirable residential areas.

The estate agent added: "Northwold Drive is widely regarded as one of Bolton’s most desirable residential addresses, quietly positioned just off Victoria Road in highly desirable Heaton and surrounded by similarly substantial family homes in a well-established and highly sought-after area."

The property is close to Bolton School and surrounded by other substantial family homes.
