A wonderful opportunity to update or redevelop an impressive, substantial family home on a large plot in a much sought-after location in the desirable Parish of Aughton in West Lancashire. Aughton Ridge is a four-bedroom home on a very private plot with an exceptional gated frontage offering much privacy to the front and rear. Featuring generous accommodation across two floors with a good layout which could easily be modernised or totally redeveloped to suit the new owners needs. The generous plot size could accommodate further development providing the right planning permissions were approved.

Located opposite Christ Church on Long Lane the property is surrounded by mature hedges and guarded with electronic gates to both sides of an ‘in and out’ gravel driveway with ample parking for several cars, an integral double garage and large front lawn.

The original home was completed in 1953 by the original owners as you can see from the bespoke stained glass arched window depicting ‘the builder’. The property still holds many of the original features such as the double entry front door, solid oak banister and trio of arch windows to the front. The second and current owner extended the property further building above the garage and out towards the rear, making this a sizeable property.

In need of some modernisation or complete redevelopment depending on your needs the property features a central entrance to which leads a dining room, a formal lounge and sunroom, a cloakroom and a kitchen which in turn leads to the internal garage and another large reception through to a conservatory and external patio. The ground floor offers 4 mains gas fireplaces.

The upper floor hosts a large landing, 3 double rooms, a large family bathroom and an immense primary suite with ensuite shower room.

This imposing home has much scope and potential and undeniably a great location with Aughton village and the historic Market town of Ormskirk on its doorstep.
