Property description
This quite exceptional four bed double-fronted semi-detached period residence is positively overflowing with character and charm, its elegant façade providing only a glimpse of the size and quality of accommodation which lies hidden beneath its handsome exterior. The property is located in the highly regarded district of Whitley, an area renowned for its pleasing blend of prestige and period homes, whilst being conveniently located only a short drive or bus journey from the bustling centre of Wigan, complete with its diverse shopping, vibrant bars and eclectic restaurants. Excellent schools and the motorway network are also within easy reach, ensuring that this locality is frequently sought-after as an area with much to offer the family unit.
On crossing the property’s threshold, one will be enchanted by the high standard of finish throughout and the abundance of character features, such as beautiful fireplaces, decorative ceilings and cornicing, whilst the warm ambiance infuses the soul, ensuring that it is simply impossible not to sense that this really is a family home, something which cannot simply be replicated through decor, fixtures or fittings, but instead being an enviable quality which is engrained within its make-up. The property delivers in excess of 1,745 square feet of sumptuous family space, with an expansive floor plan providing well proportioned living spaces throughout, entering via the entrance porch, with its beautiful tiled floor, and into the grand reception hallway, with its glorious spindled staircase to the first floor creating a truly impressive first impression, whilst the handy off-lying two piece cloakroom/WC will be extremely useful when visitors drop by.
One proceeds into the first of the three reception rooms - the 14’ lounge - which is a real lesson in marrying period features with stylish elegance, with highlights including a beautiful feature cast-iron fireplace with walnut-effect surround, decorative coving and picture rail, all of which ooze class and create a warm and inviting atmosphere, whilst a further grand 13’ reception room lies across the hallway, currently a games room, but which could be utilised for a number of uses, including a second sitting room, with a lovely large bay window to the front elevation which affords a great deal of natural light. The formal dining room provides an ideal space for those frequent dinner parties, perhaps stepping through the uPVC double glazed French doors into the rear garden for an after-dinner cocktail or two, whilst the superb open plan layout into the kitchen affords a wonderfully sociable environment for entertaining, the tiled floor linking the two spaces perfectly; recently re-fitted with an extensive range of sleek high gloss wall and base units in white, with contrasting with a comprehensive range of Oak-effect wall and base units with contrasting black granite work surfaces, and equipped with a range of integrated appliances, including high level double electric oven, halogen hob with extractor canopy, microwave, fridge/freezer and dishwasher.
One ventures up to the first floor via the imposing staircase with its attractive picture window, and discovers four excellent bedrooms – three doubles and a good-sized single – including the fabulous master suite, complete with walk-in wardrobe – sure to score highly with the lady of the house – as well as a three piece en-suite shower room. The accommodation is completed by the main fully tiled family bathroom, fitted with a four piece suite in classic white, comprising of pedestal wash hand basin, WC, panelled bath and separate double shower cubicle.
Externally, the property is garden-fronted, whilst the beautiful rear courtyard is low-maintenance, with attractive stone paving and a perfect spot in which to relax with a glass or wine or two after a tough day in the office, or perhaps for those summer barbeques. Only by internal inspection can the true size and quality of this beautiful family home, and all that it has to offer the growing family, be fully appreciated.
