Property description
This three bed detached residence is sure to be in strong demand, with homes on this highly desirable lane in the centre of Standish, rarely becoming available. This thriving area has demonstrated itself to be a consistent attraction to prospective buyers, its strong sense of community, and all that it is able to offer its inhabitants, in particular excellent schools and convenient motorway links, being a particularly strong pull for those looking for a location to raise their family. At its heart, the beautiful Parish Church of St. Wilfrid, the only Grade I listed building within Wigan, which is in view of the property, as well as other delightful landmarks such as a late medieval cross and stone stocks in the market place, whilst St. Wilfred’s C.E. Primary School is even closer, being just across the road from the property, and Standish High School only a few minutes drive away, ensuring the younger members of the family are extremely well catered for.
The bustling village centre, which can be reached by a short stroll, provides a host of local shops and amenities, including a post office, two banks and three supermarkets, but if one is craving something a little more vibrant, Wigan town centre is within easy reach, with its diverse range of high street stores, trendy bars and eclectic eateries, which will be perfect for those who enjoy a hectic social calendar. As well as the convenience of the location, the property’s strongest selling point is the fabulous plot, which extends to circa half an acre and gives superb scope to extend the existing accommodation, subject to the usual consents, and therefore providing an excellent opportunity to add value, whilst internally, a comprehensive programme of refurbishment will be required, but offers a welcome opportunity for a new owner to infuse their own taste and style, and create a bespoke home to their own exacting specification.
Affording in excess of 1,250 square feet of living space, one enters the property via the entrance porch and proceeds into the spacious reception hallway with its staircase to the first floor and full length feature window, continuing through into the 16’ lounge, which is a wonderfully bright space via the large bay window, which also provides a delightful aspect over the rear garden, whilst the feature tiled open fireplace provides a characterful focal point. The formal dining room also has an attractive bay window, this time to the front elevation, and will be an ideal space for those family dinners or when one is entertaining friends, whilst the 14’ kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units in cream, with contrasting laminated wooden work surfaces, and has a handy storage/utility cupboard, which is plumbed for a washing machine.
If one ventures up to the first floor, the sizeable landing area makes for a lovely feature, and provides access to the three double bedrooms, which will be perfect for those with older children who require extra space, whilst there is a two piece family bathroom, comprising of pedestal wash hand basin and panelled bath with shower attachment, as well as a separate WC.
Externally, the generous gardens will be a huge bonus for any green-fingered buyers, being mainly laid to lawn, with the rear being a particular highlight, being of an excellent size and with mature trees which provide an excellent degree of privacy. Off-road parking facilities are available for a number of vehicles on the driveway, which also provides access to the detached single garage. Available with the benefit of no onward chain.
