Property description
On an all too rare occasion, the market is graced with something that little bit special, a unique home of distinction which has the ability to stir emotion and desire even before one takes a step across the threshold. This simply stunning executive detached residence offers one such opportunity, and has no doubt been cast many wistful glances by admiring passers-by, its handsome facade oozing style and sophistication.
Once inside the state of impress only intensifies, with an almost palatial standard of decor, completely future-proofed with all the latest technology installed, and the highest quality of finish one could aspire too, with only the finest quality fixtures and fittings creating an opulent home which must be seen to be believed. Located in the thriving village of Standish, the property is situated on the prestigious Chorley Road, widely acknowledged as one of the finest residential addresses in the area, and which has demonstrated itself to be a consistent attraction to prospective purchasers, its strong sense of community, and all that it has 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 by car or public transport, with a bus stop located just moments from one’s front door, ensuring a diverse range of high street stores, trendy bars and eclectic eateries are conveniently on hand, 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 stylish accommodation extends to in excess of 2,160 square feet with a well laid out floor plan arranged over three inviting levels, which also includes a superb detached outbuilding, which is a wonderfully flexible space which could be utilised for a plethora of uses, including a home office for those who require some space to work from home, a cosy recreation room complete with solid fuel burner, a gymnasium/games room or even giving the potential to create a self-contained annex for a dependent relative. With a home of such quality it would be an impossible task to identify one particular feature which makes this home so special; the gorgeous 19’ lounge infuses a delightful cosy ambiance, aided in no small part by the wall-mounted designer fireplace, whilst the two triple glazed bay windows to the front elevation bathe this welcoming space in natural light; the beautiful 18’ master bedroom suite, which occupies the second floor, offers an ideal retreat for mum and dad, complete with white-washed Oak flooring and a plethora of Velux roof windows, and the lady of the house cannot fail to be impressed by the walk-in wardrobe, as well as the fabulous wet-room style en-suite shower room, complete with granite tiling and work surfaces.
The remainder of the family are suitably spoiled by the sumptuous family bathroom, which is fitted with a contemporary four piece suite in classic white, comprising of close-coupled WC, vanity wash hand basin, shower cubicle with rain shower and panelled whirlpool bath, in which one can relax and unwind whilst admiring the stunning granite tiling or perhaps watch one’s favourite programme on the integrated television. Perhaps it could be the rear garden, which is perfectly suited to entertaining, complete with a vast decked area where one can enjoy a spot of lunch or maybe an impromptu family barbeque when the weather allows, perhaps retiring to the gazebo with its sunken hot tub for a relaxing cocktail or two.
The lower level is split between an attractive stone patio and lawned area, whilst there is an excellent degree of privacy. For many, however, the spectacular open plan kitchen/dining/family room will be the piece de resistance, and the real crowning glory of this almost regal home, with its epic 23’ proportions, this bright space creates a magnificent hub of the home which lends itself perfectly to the needs of the modern family, creating a wonderfully sociable space for all generations to gather, with uPVC double doors providing direct access to the garden. This culinary delight of a living space is fitted with an extensive range of two tone wall and base units in walnut and white, complimented by quartz work surfaces, whilst there are a host of integrated Neff and Bosch appliances, including twin electric ovens, induction hob with extractor canopy, warming drawer, American-style fridge/freezer, coffee machine and dishwasher, with the useful separate utility room providing a space to keep the washing out of view of unexpected visitors, and complete with an integrated wine cooler, washing machine and dryer.
In its entirety, the accommodation briefly comprises of entrance hallway with bespoke walnut and glass staircase and walnut flooring, lounge, playroom/wine store, open plan kitchen/dining/family room, utility room, cloakroom/WC, three first floor bedrooms, one of which features an en-suite dressing room, family bathroom, and a second floor master bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and en-suite shower room. Further highlights include an automated lighting system, Control 4 Home audio/visual automation system, integrated sound system and a police-monitored alarm.
Externally, the property occupies a secure position, approached via electronically operated wrought-iron gates, and leading to the low maintenance cobbled frontage, which provides off-road parking for a number of vehicles. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a truly stunning home, the quality of which is often sought but seldom found, and we would strongly advise an early internal inspection to appreciate all that it has to offer, and to avoid disappointment.
