Located just off Hall Lane on the historic drive to Haigh Hall it is easily accessible to the many amenities available in the country park as well as being within walking distance to Wigan Lane, the hospital and all the trendy bars and shops in Swinley. The outstanding 'Woodfield Primary School' is also close-by as well as Wigan town centre where you can hop on a train in under 10 minutes to major cities including an express link to London. A private entrance with stone pillars and long sweeping driveway leads up to the front courtyard and driveway, with access to extensive garaging to rear which can fit up to 4 vehicles as well as additional storage and outbuildings.
