Property description
Occupying one of the premium plots within this consistently sought-after residential development located just off Almond Brook Road, this superb example of the archetypal family home cannot fail to impress even the most discerning purchaser from the first glance towards its effortlessly handsome exterior, occupying a delightful position in the corner of this quiet cul-de-sac on the periphery of the development. This executive detached residence is arguably one of the most attractive styles available and not only will one marvel at the substantial gardens, which are a sheer joy to behold, but once inside, the abundant living spaces marry perfectly with the exterior, affording in excess of 1,975 square feet of accommodation, with well proportioned rooms throughout, including three super reception rooms and four sizeable bedrooms.
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. 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 benefits from a wonderfully flowing floor plan which lends itself perfectly to modern day family living, with the beautiful reception hallway creating a lovely first impression from the first step of the threshold, with its spindled staircase to the first floor and stylish two piece cloakroom/WC, which is always useful in any home with young children. One proceeds through glazed doors doors into the super 18’ lounge, which stretches the full depth of the property and is flooded with natural light via the dual aspect, which includes a large picture window to the rear which also provides direct access to the garden, which will be invaluable in the summer months, whilst the attractive feature fireplace with its inset coal-effect living flame gas fire infuses a warm and inviting ambiance. The separate 12’ sitting room ensures there is no squabbling over the remote control, being a flexible space which could be utilised for a number of purposes, such as a study for those who require some space to work from home, or perhaps a playroom for the younger members of the family.
The 14’ kitchen with its useful separate utility room is fitted with a comprehensive range wall and base units in white with contrasting black laminated work surfaces, and equipped with a range of integrated appliances, including electric oven, halogen hob with extractor canopy and dishwasher, whilst the off-lying dining room provides a most convenient layout when one is entertaining friends for dinner. If one ventures up to the first floor, the attractive gallery-style landing provides access to the four bright and appealing bedrooms, with the 12’ master bedroom benefiting from built-in wardrobes, as well as a particularly spacious three piece en-suite shower room, whilst bedroom two boasts an en-suite dressing room, with built-in storage and a vanity wash hand basin, providing potential to create a second en-suite shower room, if so desired by the new owner. The smart family bathroom completes the accommodation, being fitted with a modern three piece suite in classic white, comprising of WC, pedestal wash hand basin and panelled bath with overhead shower.
Externally, the fabulous corner plot is a horticultural dream, and sure to impress even the most fastidious of green-fingered buyers, with beautifully manicured lawns to the front and rear, well stocked planted borders, and the rear affording a high degree of privacy and seclusion provided by the surrounding woodland. The paved patio area is just perfect for those with a penchant for al-fresco dining, or perhaps a family barbeque, when the weather allows, whilst off-road parking facilities are provided on the double-width driveway, which also gives access to the detached double garage. We would anticipate strong interest in this fabulous home, and would strongly recommend an early internal inspection to avoid disappointment.
