Property description
Boasting one of the area most highly regarded addresses, this spacious three/four bed double-fronted detached chalet-style bungalow occupies an attractive position and good-sized plot situated well back from the main road, nestled amidst good-sized gardens to the front and rear. Bungalows are often associated with those looking to down-size after their young ones have flown the nest, and this property will certainly be an attractive prospect for those in that position, however the generous living space extends to in excess of 1,300 square feet, and therefore could quite easily accommodate a family. The property is in need of refurbishment and offers an ideal opportunity for those buyers keen to acquire a property to mould to their own specification, infusing their own taste and style to create their ideal home.
The property is located in the consistently sought-after locality of Standish, an area renowned for the quality of life it affords its inhabitants, only a short drive from the bustling village centre with its diverse local shops and amenities, whilst the thriving town centre of Wigan is equally within easy reach when one is looking for something a little more vibrant, with high street stores, eclectic bars and eateries. Excellent schooling at both primary and secondary levels are close by, whilst the older members of the family will enjoy the ease of access to the motorway network, ensuring major commercial centres such as Manchester, Liverpool and Preston are within a reasonable commute.
As one would expect of a home of this era, the property exudes character both internally and externally, whilst the well laid floor plan offers an excellent arrangement of living spaces, entering via the characterful entrance porch, complete with decorative tiling and stained glass, and proceeding through into the reception hallway, with its wooden flooring and spindled staircase to the first floor accommodation. One continues through into the 19’ lounge, which is situated to the rear of the property and allows direct access to the rear garden via double doors, which will be invaluable in the summer months, whilst the generous proportions ensure that this wonderfully sociable family space could also double as a dining room. Should one require a more formal separate dining room, then one of the two rooms located at the front of the property could be utilised for this purpose, or indeed as a separate sitting room or playroom, or even as two additional bedrooms, such is the flexibility of the accommodation. Both rooms benefit from their own fireplaces, as well as attractive box bay windows to the front elevation, which afford an abundance of natural light.
The well proportioned 16’ kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units in white, and also has access to the rear garden, whilst the ground floor is completed by the family bathroom, which is fitted with a traditional four piece suite, comprising of pedestal wash hand basin, WC, free-standing claw foot bath and separate shower cubicle. If one ventures up to the first floor, two double bedrooms will be revealed, both with traditional fireplaces, whilst externally the good-sized gardens are mainly laid to lawn, with the rear boasting a large paved patio area, which will be most welcome for those with a penchant for al-fresco dining when the weather allows. Available with the benefit of no onward chain.
