Property description
This effortlessly pretty detached dormer-style bungalow has no doubt been cast many admiring glances by passers-by, and from the first step across the threshold, this beautiful home continues to impress, creating as it does a wonderful first impression. This truly delightful three bed residence is the epitome of the archetypal family home, offering in excess of 1,495 square feet of immaculately presented accommodation, which also includes a number of attractive character features, however what makes this home so special is as much about the outside space as its interior, with a beautiful plot which affords a simply fabulous rear garden, as well as an excellent degree of privacy and seclusion. Located in the thriving village of Standish, the 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, 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, as well as other delightful landmarks such as a late medieval cross and stone stocks in the market place, whilst the bustling village centre provides a host of local shops and amenities, including a post office, two banks and three supermarkets.
When one is craving something more vibrant still, Wigan town centre is only a short distance away 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. The area boasts a number of highly regarded schools at both primary and secondary level, whilst the older members of the family are also well catered for, with close proximity to the M6 motorway ensuring major commercial centres such as Manchester, Liverpool and Preston are within a reasonable commute.
The property itself is a real gem, with a lovely warm and inviting ambiance, and a real homely feel; this really is a family home, something which cannot be replicated through decor, fixtures or fittings, instead being an enviable quality which is ingrained within its make-up. The accommodation has been fastidiously maintained and cared for throughout our client’s tenure and is presented to a very high standard, as well as being well proportioned throughout, with a thoughtfully laid-out floor plan which affords a pleasing flow of living spaces which does much to accentuate the feeling of space, all of which will become immediately apparent as soon as one enters via the entrance porch, with its stained glass and decorative tiling, and continues through into the reception hallway.
One proceeds into the 15’ lounge, which is flooded with natural light via the large bay window to the front elevation, and exudes a lovely cosy quality, aided in no small part by the attractive feature fireplace, with its carved surround and inset cast iron fire, with the separate 15’ formal dining room mirroring these features perfectly, and providing a perfect venue for those intimate candle-lit dinner parties, when one has the urge to entertain family or friends. More informal dining can be accommodated within the kitchen, which at 18’ is comfortably large enough to accommodate a dining suite, and has a real hub of the home atmosphere, fitted with an extensive range of quality country-style wall and base units in cream, with complimentary laminated work surfaces and equipped with a range of integrated appliances, including electric oven, halogen hob with extractor canopy, microwave, fridge and freezer, whilst there is also a handy separate utility/store room. The kitchen opens into the marvellous 13’ conservatory, where there is no finer place for relaxation or contemplation, whilst admiring the gorgeous view over the garden.
One of the bedrooms is located to the ground floor – a 13’ double - complete with a range of built-in bedroom furniture, as well as a beautifully appointed three piece shower room, comprising of vanity wash hand basin, WC and over-sized shower cubicle, whilst the other two double bedrooms will be discovered on the first floor, one of which boasts an en-suite bathroom, and the other an en-suite shower room.
Externally, the property occupies an enviable position on one of the area’s most prestigious roads, with the block paved frontage providing off-road parking for a number of vehicles, as well as an attractive lawned garden. It is the rear garden, however, which is a sheer horticultural delight, and sure to score highly with any green-fingered buyers, being of a truly impressive size and particularly private and well screened. The generous swathes of lawn and well-stocked mature planted border are stunning, whilst the patio area will be extremely useful in the summer months for those family barbeques or perhaps a spot of brunch, when the weather allows. We would highly recommend an early viewing of this beautiful home to avoid disappointment.
