An attractive 1930’s spacious, detached home on a premium road in the charming, much sought-after Parish of Aughton, West Lancs. Extended for modern living, it offers multiple receptions and a fantastic, open-plan kitchen with space for dining and living. With five bedrooms and enough bathrooms the property makes a fabulous family home.

Ideally located, with easy access to transport links and within a stone’s throw of the market town of Ormskirk and Aughton village, this traditional property offers masses of flexible accommodation over two levels. Pristinely presented it offers tasteful interiors integrated effectively with original features, creating a warm and stylish property that could easily be a forever home.

Ground Floor
A characterful arched door through to a light-filled porch is a delightful entrance, and an ideal place to leave the umbrella before moving through the front door into a centrally located entrance hall conveniently floored with solid wood parquet.

The ground floor flows easily with the hall having access to both receptions and the large kitchen. A sizable and more formal reception sits to the front of the property and showcases a traditional bay window, allowing masses of light, overlooking the front lawn and drive. A marble stone mantle and hearth, surround a gas fire for those wintry evenings and a picture rail around the room brings the property back to its heritage.

The second reception is slightly smaller and is currently being used as a tranquil sitting room. It neighbours the first reception and features porcelain ‘wood-style’ flooring which runs through double doors to an expansive living area with traditional log burning fireplace, which leads onto another great sized space used for dining, which in turn sits adjacent to a modern kitchen with breakfast bar.

This kitchen/dining/living room is most definitely the star of this home. An impressive space, it is flooded with natural light via a large VELUX window over the living area and four-pane windows overlook the rear patio and garden. Further sunshine streams through a sophisticated roof lantern positioned over the dining area and if that’s not enough, French doors bring further light, which opens to the rear patio.

A well-located W.C. lies off the dining area with a rear entrance from the rear garden, handy when you’re gardening or enjoying a BBQ.

Contemporary in design, a white kitchen compliments the rest of the room with a tiled floor, light coloured quartz worktops and white tiles. Offering ample storage, under-counter sinks, integral appliances and a 5-ring gas hob and extractor. The breakfast bar and worktops lying on the dining side is a perfect place for a quick cuppa or a snack after school.

A vast utility/ laundry room runs immediately from the kitchen. All walls have been thoughtfully utilised for floor to ceiling storage with natural light originates via another VELUX window. It has access to the W.C., and integral garage and the rear external door, making this a perfect room for wet dogs or muddy boots after a country walk.

First Floor
Heading up the staircase from the entrance hall, the staircase splits into two, as the property was extended in 2007 to build over the garage, allowing for two more bedrooms since the original footprint was designed.

With 1930’s houses you can expect large rooms and high ceilings and this home has just that. The primary bedroom sits to the front of the house and features fitted wardrobes and a large ensuite bathroom with step-in shower, full bathtub, vanity basin and W.C.

A second bedroom also sits to the front and features its own ensuite shower room with traditional basin and W.C.

The other three bedrooms are positioned at the rear, overlooking the back garden and share an ice-white tiled, large family bathroom with traditional basin with pedestal, full bathtub, W.C. and mirrored storage.

All bedrooms have ‘AMTICO’ wood-design flooring for a warm look and simple dust-free maintenance.

OUTSIDE
A block paved driveway leads to ample, off-road parking and an integral garage which hosts an electric car-charging point. The front lawn is hidden from the road by a brick wall and mature trees and shrubs.

Older properties usually offer large rear gardens, and you won’t be disappointed with this one. A stone patio stretches across the rear of the house, super for entertaining as French doors lead directly from the dining area.

The garden is of a substantial size and is lawned and bordered by mature trees. A pergola and decked zone sit just off the patio and are great for warm evenings, entertaining friends, or family.

A wooden summer house, sits at the bottom of the garden, making a delightful addition, maybe for a playhouse for a little one or an indulgent ‘switch-off’ retreat from everyday life.
