Property description
The modest exterior of this four/five bed chalet-style detached property belies a substantial home which is full of character, with parts of the extended accommodation being reminiscent of a country cottage, its impressive proportions creating a true family home with an abundance of good-sized living spaces and a thoughtfully laid out floorplan over two floors. The property is situated in the popular residential district of Burscough, an area surrounded by beautiful open countryside, with many fine walks, yet only a short distance from the centre of the village where one can find a variety of shops, ensuring the best of both worlds for those not wishing to be isolated, yet still able to get away from the hustle and bustle when the need arises. The area is popular with commuters looking for a retreat yet within easy reach of surrounding towns, due to the excellent transport links via rail and road, with the M6 and M58 motorways both within easy reach and the closest railway station only a few minutes stroll away. Younger members of the family are also suitably catered for, with highly regarded schools close by, surely an important consideration for a property of this type, resulting in the highest of credentials for a home for all the family.
The property is entered via an entrance porch, which leads into a sizeable reception hallway from where all the ground floor accommodation is accessed. The two reception rooms – a lounge and dining room – are situated at the front of the property, both being very well proportioned with the 21’ lounge enjoying an attractive dual aspect to the front and side and a beautiful cast iron fireplace with wooden carved surround and decorative tiling, which makes a wonderful focal point. The third reception room adds extra flexibility to the accommodation, being suitable for a variety of uses, whether it be a study for those requiring some space to work from home, a fifth bedroom or perhaps a playroom for the children, whilst the first of the four double bedrooms is also located to the ground floor, and benefits from built-in storage. The spacious breakfast kitchen provides a real character feel and is large enough to accommodate a dining suite, providing an ideal space for a quick bite to eat and giving this room a real hub of the home feel. This bright space enjoys dual aspects and is flooded with light via the large picture window overlooking the rear garden; fitted with a comprehensive range of country-style wall and base units with laminated work surfaces, and with characteraccents such as a traditional Belfast sink and Rayburn oven, as well as the convenience of an integrated modern electric oven and halogen hob. A luxuriously proportioned 13’ utility room lies off the kitchen, which provides a great space to keep the family laundry out of view of guests who might drop by unexpectedly, whilst a ground floor family bathroom with separate WC completes the ground floor accommodation.
To the first floor, with its plentiful eaves storage, one can find three further double bedrooms, the bright master bedroom being a real highlight, with its exposed floorboards and en-suite bathroom, fitted with a modern three piece suite in classic white, comprising of pedestal wash hand basin, WC and panelled bath with overhead shower, whilst a further family shower room completes the accommodation.
Externally, there are attractive gardens to the front and rear, the rear being mainly laid to lawn with mature shrubs and trees to the perimeter, and benefitting from being very private and not overlooked. The driveway provides parking for a number of vehicles and access to the detached single garage.
