Property description
They say one makes their mind up about a property within seconds of entering, and if this is in fact true, then surely this beautifully presented semi-detached true bungalow cannot fail to impress even the most fastidious of buyers, creating as it does a wonderful first impression from the moment one crosses the threshold. Bungalows are often associated with those looking to down-size after their young ones have flown the nest, and this lovely example would be a super option if this is the motivation for one’s search, however the deceptively spacious accommodation would also be perfect for raising a family, as in the case of our clients, offering sizeable open plan living spaces, four bedrooms, two bath/shower rooms, as well as a good-sized rear garden.
The property has been the subject of a comprehensive programme of improvements under our client’s attentive ownership, including a substantial extension to the rear, producing a stunning home which has been finished to exacting standards throughout, with neutral decor and only the highest quality fixtures and fittings utilised. Located in the thriving village of Standish, the area has demonstrated itself to be a consistent attraction to prospective buyers due to its strong sense of community and all that it is able to offer its inhabitants. 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. Furthermore, the property could not be more conveniently located for ease of access to the motorway network, with the M6 motorway accessible within a very short drive, ensuring major commercial centres such as Manchester, Preston and Liverpool are within easy reach, as well as excellent local schools at both primary and secondary level.
The bungalow itself is a real gem, with a lovely warm and inviting ambiance, and a well proportioned, flexible layout which could be utilised to suit one’s individual needs, entering via the entrance hallway with its stripped wooden floorboards, which continue through into the fabulous 19’ lounge, adding a real feeling of character, along with the attractive decorative coving. This bright space is flooded with light via the large picture window to the front elevation, whilst the pretty feature fireplace with its decorative surround, tiled hearth and inset coal-effect living flame gas fire, infuses a real cosy atmosphere. The open plan layout into the re-fitted 15’ kitchen/diner accentuates the feeling of space provides a wonderfully sociable environment for those populous parties, being fitted with a contemporary range of high gloss wall and base units in white with contrasting black laminated work surfaces, and equipped with a range of quality integrated Neff appliances, including high level double electric oven, four ring gas hob with extractor canopy, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. The tiled floor and floor-level spotlighting complement the stylish look. The four bedrooms add much flexibility to the accommodation, offering potential to create a formal dining room, a study if one requires some space to work from home or perhaps a playroom for the children.
All the bedrooms are of a good-size, with the master bedroom boasting a comprehensive range of built-in furniture, whilst bedrooms two and three share a Jack and Jill-style three piece en-suite shower room, ensuring there is no squabbles for the family bathroom on those busy mornings, which is itself beautifully appointed, being fitted with a modern three piece suite in classic white, comprising of vanity wash hand basin, close-coupled WC and tiled bath with overhead shower.
Externally, off-road parking facilities for a number of vehicles are available on the driveway, which leads up the side of the property leaving ample space for a caravan or boat. Lawned gardens can be found to the front and rear, with the rear boasting a large paved and decked seating area which will be very popular with those with a penchant for al-fresco dining, those summer barbeques, or perhaps just a relaxing glass of wine after a tough day in the office. Available with the benefit of no onward chain, we would highly recommend an internal inspection of this beautiful home.
