Residential areas of BL3

Beaumont Chase

Beaumont Chase is an attractive development of 1/2/3 and 4 bed houses, located where Beaumont Road meets Wigan Road in Bolton. We have been successfully selling and renting houses here since the mid 1990’s when they were built.

Nearby is Bolton Garden Centre just situated off Wigan Road, plus wiithin walking distance from the development there is the Tavern Fayre pub and restaurant offering a variety of cask ales and a great menu. Another popular location just across from Beaumont Chase is The Three Pigeons which offers a pleasant family environment and affordable pub grub.

Darcy Lever

Darcy Lever is an area of Bolton which is steeped in history. The area lies on the B6209 (Radcliffe Road), between Bolton and Little Lever and given to during the Norman conquest to Roger of Poitou for services rendered at the Battle of Hastings. Initially, Lever was the name for the hamlets comprising the manor of Lever. In 1509 it became Darcye Lever, the unusual affix coming from ownership of the D’Arcy family.

The growth of the textile industry in and around Darcy Lever was assisted by the abundance of coal. The Earl of Bradford owned a coal mine at Great Lever and many local residents not involved in coal mining found employment on the Manchester Bolton and Bury Canal or in the textile mills of Bolton and Farnworth. Many terrace houses were built in the 1800’s to accommodate the local workers.

Daubhill

Daubhill is an area close to Bolton town centre which developed as a residential base during Bolton’s boom period at the height of the industrial revolution. The name Daubhill is derived from the old English for the bed of clay its sits upon. Cardwells have been proudly selling and renting properties in Daubhill (or Dobble as its known locally) since 1982.

One of Daubhills great advantages is its proximity to Bolton town centre. This closeness mean that working in Bolton is an easy commute as St Helens Road is one of the areas main arteries. If you work further afield then the train station is no more than a mile or so away.

The home of several takeaways and shops, Daubhill boasts one of Boltons finest American style chicken and burger diners, Mash’s Wing Ranch, the fine Indian restaurant and takeaway Achari and numerous popular takeaways such as Ming Garden Chinese takeaway and Charcoal Pit.

Deane

The name Deane derives from the Old English word “denu” meaning valley. In earlier times Deane was written without the final “e”. The stream running in the valley to the west of the church was named the Kirkbroke meaning Church Brook from the Saxon the valley is also referred to as Deane Clough, “cloh” is Old English for a ravine or deep valley.

Deane is situated 2 miles south of Bolton with the A676 (Deane Road) running through the centre, giving easy access to the motorway and transport links. The majority of property styles are brick terrace houses, constructed for the textile mill workers.

Great Lever

Great Lever (BL3) is a primarily residential area that sits within close proximity to Bolton town centre, nestling near to both Little Lever and Farnworth.

Great Lever can boast one of the best award winning butchers in the North West, ‘Frasers’, but be sure to get there early to beat the queue!

There are other local amenities including a GP, chemists, post office and newsagents plus ‘The Southfields’ public house and local ale house ‘The Brooklyn’. Both historic and grand in design, they were originally built as houses for local mill owners.  The Royal Bolton Hospital also takes its place in this area of Bolton. We at Cardwells Estate Agents have been successfully selling properties in Great Lever since 1982.

The area is popular here at Cardwells, and we receive many sales and rental enquiries. This is assisted by the proximity of many quality local schools in the area including Bishop Bridgeman CE Primary School, Essa Primary School, Lever Edge Primary School, St Michael’s CE Primary School, SS Simon and Jude CE Primary School and St William of York RC Primary School.  The main secondary school in the area is also an Essa Academy.

Ladybridge

Ladybridge is a popular residential area bordering Lostock which is both convenient for Bolton town centre and a short trip to the motorway giving access to Manchester, Preston, Wigan and beyond. The nearest train station is at Lostock though the main station at Bolton is little over a mile away.  Cardwells have been successfully renting and selling properties in Ladybridge since 1982.

Though there are many types of properties available in Ladybridge, the pre-eminent style is the bungalow. It is because of this that Cardwells receive so many enquiries for properties to rent and properties to buy in Ladybridge.

Ladybridge has within its area a very popular family pub and restaurant named The Beaumont Arms, which offers a contemporary menu and a selection of real ales. A little further afield is the Tavern Fayre (formerly The Tavern on Hunger Hill) and the Three Pigeons on Wigan Road, both lovely pub restaurants with pleasant family atmospheres. For gardening enthusiasts Bolton Garden Centre on Wigan Road offers a large variety of plants and garden ornaments.

Ladybridge estate has a main artery road, Armadale Road. We have many calls for properties to buy and properties to rent on Armadale Road, in particular bungalows to rent and buy. One reason for this is that the golf club runs along the rear of Armadale Road and offers beautiful views over Rivington.

Little Lever

Little Lever (BL3) is a  large village that sits 2.4 miles away from Bolton town centre, nestling near to both Radcliffe and Bury.

During the 19th century the population of Little Lever was mainly employed by the cotton mills, paper mills, bleach works, terracotta works, rope works and numerous collieries. Little Lever was a hamlet bounded on three sides by the water courses, the River Irwell the River Croal and The Blackbrook.

The village sits at the junction of three roads, the road between Farnworth and the adjoining hamlet of Nob End which continues to Radcliffe (A6053) and the road to Bolton (A665) as the main route out of Little Lever which offers direct links to Manchester, Bolton and Bury.

All this combined makes Little Lever a popular choice for commuters and families. Here at Cardwells estate agents we have been selling and renting properties in this area since 1982.
