5 Bed Detached House, Single Let, Ormskirk, L39 2EE £650,000

The snug, positioned next to the study, is particularly special. In summer, the patio doors are left open well into the evening, with views across the garden and the gentle sight of pipistrelle bats flying at dusk, a reminder of how close this home is to nature, despite its central Ormskirk location.

The kitchen functions well as it stands, but for buyers seeking add-value opportunities, there is clear scope to reconfigure or extend across the rear, creating a larger open-plan kitchen-dining-family space if desired, subject to relevant permissions.

Bedrooms & bathrooms

Upstairs, the galleried landing leads to five well-proportioned bedrooms, all enjoying pleasant outlooks over the surrounding area.

The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite bathroom, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a large family bathroom. The proportions throughout reflect the era of construction, generous, practical and ideal for families.

Improvements & upgrades

The current owners have invested wisely, prioritising the big, costly improvements that matter most to buyers looking for move-in-ready homes in Ormskirk, while still leaving scope for personalisation.

Key upgrades include:

• Bathrooms updated twice, including the en-suite
• Replacement kitchen
• Arched opening added between snug and study to improve flow
• All windows and external doors replaced
• New soffits, fascias and gutters
• New conservatory
• Modernised entrance porch
• Multiple patio terraces created, including side and mid-level areas with steps and a bridge connecting garden levels

The result is a home that feels solid, well cared for and immediately liveable, without feeling over-finished or restrictive for the next owner.

The garden & outdoor space

The garden is one of the standout features of this home and a key reason properties on Tower Hill are so rarely available.

Secluded, private and tranquil, it offers:

• Multiple patio areas capturing sun throughout the day
• Lawn and landscaped levels
• Mature planting and established boundaries
• A strong sense of privacy behind gates

Whether entertaining, relaxing, or simply enjoying the space, this is a garden that genuinely enhances everyday life.

Location: Ormskirk living at its best

Tower Hill is widely regarded as one of the most convenient and established residential locations in Ormskirk, West Lancashire.

From here:

• Ormskirk town centre is around a 10-minute walk
• Ormskirk train station is within walking distance
• Local shops, schools and Ormskirk Hospital are close by
• Open countryside is just minutes away on foot

Local walks include Lady’s Walk through Ruff Woods, a popular mostly off-road route of approximately 5km.

For food and drink, Ormskirk offers an excellent selection of pubs and restaurants, including The Green Room, The Lost & Found, and The Fat Italian, all within an easy walk.

For commuters, the M56, M6 and M62 are all accessible within around 10 minutes by car, making this an ideal base for travel across the North West.

One of the biggest advantages of this location is the ability to walk to almost everything you need, reducing reliance on the car while still enjoying space and privacy at home.

In summary

This is a rare opportunity to purchase a large five-bedroom detached home in Ormskirk, offering:

• Around 2,450 sq ft of internal accommodation
• A 0.23-acre private, gated plot
• Excellent scope to enhance and add value
• Major upgrades already completed
• Walkable access to Ormskirk town centre, schools and transport

Most of all, it offers space, privacy and a lifestyle that’s becoming increasingly hard to find in central Ormskirk locations.

Homes like this on Tower Hill, L39, don’t come to market often and when they do, it’s the garden, the plot and the setting that truly set them apart.
