[6] One of the most significant buildings in Euxton is Buckshaw Hall, an H-plan two-storey timber framed property on a sandstone base, with both brick and wattle and daub infilling and a slate roof.

There has been a building at Runshaw Hall since medieval times and the current house was built in 1862 and later acquired by William Bretherton.

Euxton Hall, which was a significant stately residence, now acts as a private hospital and is half its former glory, with the second storey being removed in the 20th century along with its grand colonnade.

There was a large Royal Ordnance Factory (ROF Chorley) built here in the buildup to the Second World War (Nevell et al., 1999).

In the early 2000s the former ROF Chorley site was effectively flattened and sanitised, so that the land could be transformed into the new Buckshaw Village.

The quarry, to be located between Runshaw Lane and Dawber's Lane, had been proposed for ten years and is opposed by the village council, and by local residents, some of whom set up an action group, Euxton Residents Against Sand Extraction (ERASE), due to its impact on health, traffic and environment locally.

Euxton has several large housing estates, particularly in the eastern half of the village built in the late 1960s by Trevor Hemmings.

Newer housing estates include Wentworth Drive to the north-east of the village and Church Walk and Park Avenue to the west.

Euxton's population was significantly increased after the Royal Ordnance Factory in Buckshaw was demolished and redeveloped, creating a huge new residential and commercial area in the north of the village.

Bus services are operated primarily by Stagecoach Merseyside & South Lancashire, including the following routes:[10] The former ROF Chorley sports ground was used by English football team Bolton Wanderers as its training headquarters.
