A Luxurious Home in a Peaceful Woodland Setting

Tucked away in woodland, 126 Newbrook Road is a beautifully designed four-bedroom detached home that offers the perfect balance of high-end modern living and a classic Georgian-inspired interior with a contemporary twist. Just 10 minutes from Bolton yet surrounded by greenery, this substantial property enjoys spectacular sunset views, peaceful surroundings, and a sense of space both inside and out.

Lovingly crafted by the current owners in 2017, the house has been finished to an exceptional standard throughout, featuring a full-width open-plan kitchen and living area that opens via bifold doors to the west-facing garden, along with two further large reception rooms that offer versatility for hosting or relaxing with your family. Underfloor heating warms the ground floor, and every detail has been considered, from hardwood internal doors with ebony handles to bespoke architraves with hockey stick profiles.

All four bedrooms are well-proportioned doubles, with two luxurious en suites and a beautifully appointed family bathroom. Outside, the large double garage has planning permission for an 18-metre extension, which would allow for three en suite bedrooms and a separate living space. Total approx. additional living space with planning: 140 sq mt.

First Impressions

Set behind a hedge-topped stone wall and electric gates, the house presents a striking, symmetrical exterior with charming, cottage-style brickwork that blends seamlessly with the white render and traditional slate roof. Heritage-style Georgian-effect windows flank the dramatic full-height aluminium windows that frame a stylish porch, painted in a sleek dark grey to match the panelled front door, railings, and exterior lantern lights.

Meanwhile, beautiful Yorkstone flags, cobbles, and resin complement the practical tarmac drive that extends along the side, providing parking for up to six cars. There’s space for two additional vehicles in the extra-large detached double garage, accessed by an electric door.

Ultimate Family Flow

In the grandly proportioned, spot-lit entrance hall beyond, gentle easterly sunshine filters through the full-height windows, reflecting off the vaulted ceiling crowning the galleried landing above to create a bright and airy atmosphere. The Georgian-inspired interior begins here – notice the period-style doorbell, elegant coving and architraves, chandelier, and the striped carpet running up a panelled staircase with a handrail to match the style of the one on the porch.

The white walls contrast with the heated, marble-effect porcelain tiles underfoot, which flow past a cloakroom and a period-style WC into the open-plan living area and dining kitchen that spans the width of the house.

Here, dark grey and light grey contemporary shaker-style cabinetry sets a timeless tone, complemented by marble-effect splashbacks and striking black-and-white marble work surfaces. A large L-shaped island and breakfast bar form the centrepiece of the kitchen, illuminated by a trio of chrome pendant lights and surrounded by spotlights that highlight the room’s fine detailing.

Practicality is matched by elegance, with a pantry cupboard fitted with wooden shelves and drawers, a concealed fridge-freezer and dishwasher, and a range cooker with a hidden extractor. The Belfast sink is paired with period-style chrome taps, adding a touch of heritage charm.

The space opens to the west-facing garden via full-height aluminium picture windows and bifold doors, flooding the room with natural light and connecting it seamlessly to the outdoors. A generous central dining area can comfortably seat an extended family, while a cosy sitting area – complete with built-in shelving/media unit, and a rose-crowned chandelier – lies beside French doors to the side garden, offering an additional breakout space for more relaxed moments.

Explore Further

The adjoining utility room is the unsung hero of the house. Featuring a multitude of integrated cupboards, which hide away cleaning supplies and appliances, and a mud room area with a bench and hooks for removing boots and hanging coats, it’s immensely practical. It also provides direct access to the garden and the dual-aspect sitting room at the front of the house.

Continue into this light-flooded reception room to discover a refined and sophisticated retreat, where you can curl up with a book by a tall gas fireplace that coordinates with the sleek black built-in shelving and media unit. Elegant Georgian-style windows combine with a soft cream carpet, neutral coved walls, and a rose-crowned chandelier to enrich the room with cosy charm.

The main living room lies on the other side of the hallway. Decorated to match, it’s brightened by beautiful chandeliers and dual-aspect windows, while a stone mantelpiece frames a contemporary flame-effect gas fire for instant evening ambience.

Retreat Upstairs

Continue up the beautiful panelled staircase, where the striped carpet repeats on the impressive galleried landing, with its front-facing windows and rear balcony overlooking the kitchen. To the front, you’ll discover two spacious double bedrooms, illuminated by large dual-aspect windows dressed with Roman blinds and decorated to match the living rooms below. Warmed by traditional column radiators, they both enjoy lovely period-style coving, roses, and chandeliers.

Vaulted ceilings crown the rear dual-aspect en suite bedrooms, fitted with cream carpets and painted in calming tones. Both face the landscaped garden and woodland via French doors, which open onto glass Juliet balconies – a lovely spot to watch the spectacular sunsets.
The primary bedroom also features a walk-in wardrobe equipped with full-height shelves and ample hanging space.

Both en suites and the family bathroom boast a luxury finish, with marble-effect porcelain tiled floors and splashbacks to match those seen downstairs. All feature period-style sanitaryware and heated towel rails, marble-topped vanity basin units, traditional chrome tapware, large walk-in rainfall showers, and LED mirrors. The family bathroom and master suite also benefit from a double-ended bathtub, a double basin vanity unit, and lovely ceiling mouldings and chandeliers.

A Seasonal Escape

The west-facing rear garden is a breathtaking outdoor space, designed to celebrate its natural setting. Mainly laid to lawn and wrapping gracefully around to the south side, the garden enjoys views across open fields and a backdrop of woodland that shifts with the seasons. In spring, the woodland floor transforms into a sea of bluebells, with the gentle activity of squirrels, deer and birds bringing the garden to life. Summer invites outdoor living, while autumn blankets the trees in vivid colour, creating a truly magical outlook year-round.

Neat box hedges line the cobblestone-edged pathways and generous Yorkstone and resin patios, perfect for entertaining or simply soaking in the sunset views. Thoughtful touches, such as multi-coloured woodland lights, enhance the atmosphere as the day turns to evening, and the entire garden is framed by open fencing that maintains a strong visual connection to the landscape beyond.
