Property description
This rather handsome three bed traditional semi-detached residence sits proudly within its generously proportioned plot, exuding charm and tradition in abundance. But this property is far from just a pretty facade, with a beautiful interior which mirrors its exterior; full of character and infusing a real sense of warmth into any visitor who crosses its threshold. Our clients have shown real flair and succeeded in sympathetically instilling all of the modern appointments required in modern times, yet retaining all of the period features which make this home so special, blending the two eras seamlessly and without compromise.
The property is located in the popular residential district of Burscough, only a short distance from the centre of the village where one can find a variety of shops and amenities. The area is surrounded by beautiful open countryside with many fine walks, yet within easy reach of the rail network and the M6 and M58 motorways, making it exceedingly popular with commuters who are looking for a retreat from the city, yet with good links to surrounding towns, whilst the younger members of the household are also well catered for, with a number of highly regarded schools close by, resulting in excellent credentials for a home for all the family. The property affords a thoughtfully laid out floor plan measuring in excess of 1,385 square feet, with well proportioned living spaces throughout, entering via the welcoming entrance hallway, with its spindled staircase to the first floor, and immediately feeling a sense of history and grandeur, the stripped wooden floorboards extending into the reception rooms and linking the spaces perfectly.
One proceeds into the first of two sizeable reception rooms, located to the front of the property, which is currently utilised as a formal dining room, with the lounge being situated to the rear, although these two spaces could be reversed if one wishes to do so, such is the flexibility of the accommodation. This wonderfully bright space is flooded with light via the beautiful bay window and boasts a lovely feature fireplace, which provides an attractive focal point during those family dinners, whilst the rear-facing 13’ lounge has a gorgeous fireplace of its own, complete with inset solid fuel burner, conjuring warming images of cold Winter nights huddled around a roaring fire. The 20’ breakfast kitchen epitomises what this residence is about, feeling like a real hub of the home and tastefully appointed in a traditional style, yet with all the modern appointments one would expect of modern day living; fitted with an extensive range of wall and base units with complimentary wooden work surfaces and incorporating a stainless steel double sink unit and Range-style cooker, whilst there is also a useful three piece ground floor shower room.
To the first floor, the attractive landing with its stripped wooden floorboards provides access to the three bedrooms – two good-sized doubles and a single – all of which are bright and appealing, as well as the stylish family bathroom, which is beautifully appointed and fitted with a three piece suite in classic white, modern but very much in keeping with the style of the property, comprising of WC, pedestal wash hand basin and traditional free-standing claw foot roll top bath.
Externally, the sizeable plot affords generous gardens to the front and rear, with the rear being of a particularly good size and extremely private; being mainly laid to lawn, providing ample opportunity for the younger ones to explore, with planted borders and with two separate seating areas – one paved and the other slate – which will no doubt prove useful for those family barbeques in the Summer months, whilst ample off-road parking facilities for a number of vehicles are available on the driveway at the front of the property, which also provides access to the attached single garage. There is also development potential as the side of the house could have a substantial extension as can be seen in neighbouring properties
