FISHER House is in the heart of Rivington Village with its beautiful 16th century church, sought after primary school and village green.

It is a stunning example of a Georgian family home, with a south westerly aspect, nestling behind a secluded walled garden.

This beautiful period property is being offered for sale for the first time in close to half a century, having been owned by only two families over the last 90 years and is for sale at £1,000,000.

Lancashire’s famous poet and author Phoebe Hesketh once lived here.

Originally built by an ambitious young Vicar, John Fisher, after leaving Cambridge in 1763, this Grade II listed residence retains extensive character and period features throughout and has ample accommodation set over three floors and a wine cellar.

The house backs directly onto Lever Park, where the local flora and fauna abound in this idyllic semi rural setting, but also benefits from access to nearby amenities in Chorley, Horwich and Bolton and is only a short drive away from the motorway network.

The property is approached off Rivington Lane and a long private driveway leads to a large side parking area and rear courtyard.
