Comfortably one of the largest homes along the prestigious Wigan Lane - Greenhill is a totally unique semi-detached property that was formerly a detached residence. One of the oldest properties along Wigan Lane, the home is unique in that the rear actually backs onto the lane & the front of the property overlooks the stunning & extensive gardens.
Resting within a substantial overall plot that extends to approx half an acre, the wonderful gardens also have the unusual feature of a former tennis court positioned at the very bottom of the garden too.
Internally the home is brimming with elegant period detail, all set across two floors, plus a substantial cellar & loft room that in total extend to 3718 square feet of living space.
Perfect then for any growing families wanting something that boasts all the potential & charm of a property with high coved ceilings, spacious rooms, large door casings & architraves plus a wonderfully elegant original staircase.
The ground floor alone here provides in excess of 1300 square feet & comprises; a lovely welcoming hallway, two generous main reception rooms, a separate dining room plus a fitted kitchen and morning room off it. To the first floor there are four bedrooms, plus study area, a principal bathroom plus a separate wc & an additional loft room which historically has been used as a fifth bedroom.
There is also a substantial cellar area, which is almost 900 SQFT itself & has the potential to be tanked & used for home office / gym / game room purposes or simply additional storage.
Externally, the rear garden here is a wonderful feature of the home, extending to approx half an acre. The gardens are mature, well stocked and private, plus unusually for houses on this side of the road, it doesn’t slope away either, meaning they feel much more elevated and take in superb open views too. At the bottom of the garden, the plot opens up considerably to where there used to be an old tennis court. The rear also enjoys a south-westerly rear aspect too and lots of afternoon sun. There is also a summer house in the rear garden which could easily be converted to a home office. To the front is the integral garage which provides off road parking.
Locally, the home conveniently rests within the catchment for the outstanding Woodfield Primary School, plus the stunning Plantations & Haigh Hall, various amenities & Wigan Town Centre itself. Early inspection is essential. No chain delay.
