Arnold & Phillips are delighted to bring to market this attractive two-bedroom duplex apartment, positioned within the desirable 'Grammar School Court' development just off Ruff Lane in the heart of Ormskirk, West Lancs.
Combining the heritage charm of its historic setting with a modern and practical layout, this beautifully presented apartment offers an appealing lifestyle choice for those seeking convenience, style, and a touch of character in equal measure. Ideally situated close to Ormskirk town centre, the hospital and Edge Hill University, the property benefits from excellent transport connections and easy access to local amenities, making it a strong contender for professionals, first-time buyers, or those looking to downsize without compromise.
The building itself forms part of a well-regarded development that blends period architecture with contemporary design. The secure communal entrance provides a welcoming first impression, while allocated parking ensures everyday practicality. The communal areas are well maintained, with mature landscaping and a sense of peace that belies its central position. The surrounding grounds feature a leafy backdrop, adding privacy and an established feel to the setting.
Once inside, the apartment opens into a private entrance hallway that immediately introduces the home’s clean, modern style. The kitchen sits to one side, fitted with a sleek range of high-gloss wall, base, and tower units. Integrated appliances, contrasting work surfaces, and contemporary fittings give the space a smart and functional finish that’s easy to maintain. It’s the kind of kitchen that lends itself well to both everyday cooking and social occasions - practical in layout and comfortably proportioned for two occupants.
Flowing through from the kitchen, the open plan living and dining area makes excellent use of space. The distinctive stone-framed windows are a key feature here, giving the room a sense of character that sets it apart from newer builds. The deep window recesses and solid materials remind you of the building’s history, while the décor and fittings keep the overall feel fresh and up to date. There’s plenty of space for a full-sized dining table alongside a comfortable lounge area, creating a versatile layout that adapts well to a modern lifestyle. The arrangement feels naturally sociable, ideal for hosting or simply unwinding after a busy day.
Upstairs, the apartment continues to impress with two generously sized bedrooms, both neutrally finished and well proportioned. The main bedroom accommodates a double bed comfortably with room for additional furnishings, while the second bedroom could serve equally well as a guest room, home office, or dressing room, depending on need. Both rooms enjoy a calm atmosphere and overlook the surrounding development, with a pleasing sense of privacy. The main bathroom is fitted with a modern three-piece suite comprising a bath with overhead shower, WC, and wash hand basin. Tiled from floor to ceiling, it’s finished in a contemporary style that complements the rest of the property - simple, stylish, and easy to maintain.
Externally, the development enjoys well-kept communal gardens that enhance its appeal. The green spaces are mature and attractively landscaped, offering residents a pleasant area to relax or enjoy some time outdoors. The leafy setting provides a natural buffer from the town centre nearby, giving the property a tranquil feel despite its central location.
From a lifestyle perspective, Grammar School Court occupies a prime position in Ormskirk. The town’s varied selection of independent shops, cafes, and restaurants are all within easy walking distance, as are essential services such as supermarkets and medical facilities. The nearby Edge Hill University adds a vibrant energy to the area, while Ormskirk Hospital and a range of reputable schools are close at hand. For commuters, the rail station provides direct links to Liverpool and Preston, and the nearby motorway network connects efficiently to surrounding towns and cities, including Southport, Wigan, and Manchester.
Altogether, this duplex apartment represents a rare opportunity to secure a stylish and well-maintained home in one of Ormskirk’s most sought-after developments. With its distinctive character, practical layout, and highly convenient setting, it’s a property that will appeal to those who value a balance of charm and function in a location that truly offers the best of both town and lifestyle living.
