Re: A question for Clayton 'bottom enders'

My mother in law moved down to Lower Barnes Street from the top end of Clayton......she lived there until she died and she was very happy in her sheltered accommodation flat......she had a second floor flat and could see out over Clayton...she wasn't far from the park and she could go there for a gentle stroll on sunny days.
Margaret, go for it.

Even before seeing it I have got a removal estimate.

Wherever you live there will be some 'negatives' - the 'trick' is finding a place that meets most of your needs and only has 'bad points' that you know you can cope with.

I found that when I lived in Church - Henry St was gridlocked in rush hours. It started after the motorway was built. If you are near any motorway exit you have to expect it (unfortunately)

After living at the bottom of Henry St in Clayton, my mother in law found it really peaceful and quiet.

I think you are spot on with your comments about where to live...there will always be some drawbacks, but as long as the good points out number the bad ones, then you are onto a winner.

Wouldn't that be the Hare and Hounds pub?

Re: A question for Clayton 'bottom enders'

No. Miles away from there. This is the track that runs along the side of the Hyndburn from Lower Barnes Street to Whalley Road, so the very bottom end of Clayton. The Hare and Hounds pub is at the corner of Blackburn Road and Whalley Road up top end.

Re: A question for Clayton 'bottom enders'

I viewed it today and have applied for it. I will have to wait a week to see whether I get it. There were two young couples viewing at the same time, so I do have some competition - fingers crossed.

Age doesn't count with private landlords. They are more concerned with ability to pay and credit rating, and also whether you have kids and pets which could damage the place.

When I got back home I had an email alert from Rightmove that a house on the estate is on offer at £25 a month LESS - so I am hoping the competition will prefer that.

If that doesn't work out below is the email of an agent, he may be able to assist:-
