Arnold & Phillips are delighted to present this beautifully renovated four-bedroom semi-detached family home, positioned attractively along the semi-rural stretch of Wigan Road in the sought-after village of Westhead in West Lancs. From the moment you arrive, there is a sense that this is a property that has been carefully considered and thoughtfully improved, creating a home that feels both welcoming and highly practical for modern family life. Set within a desirable village setting yet well connected for commuters, it offers a balance that many buyers are searching for countryside outlooks to the rear, everyday amenities close by, and a layout that genuinely works. Approached via a private driveway, the property immediately makes a strong first impression. There is ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles, which is always a welcome feature for families and visitors alike, and this leads through to a detached garage and workshop, ideal for storage, hobbies, or even future adaptation depending on your needs. The frontage feels tidy and well maintained, reflecting the care that has gone into the wider renovation. Entry is gained through a modern entrance porch, which provides a practical buffer between outdoors and indoors and sets the tone for the quality of finish found throughout the home. Once inside, the ground floor unfolds in a way that feels both generous and well balanced. To the front, the bay-fronted living room is a comfortable and inviting space, centred around a bespoke media wall with fitted cabinetry that neatly houses technology and storage without overwhelming the room. It is a space that lends itself equally well to relaxed evenings as it does to entertaining friends. Centrally positioned, the second reception room offers similar proportions and flexibility, making it ideal as a more formal sitting room, a snug, or even a playroom or home office depending on lifestyle requirements. Both reception rooms are finished to a high standard and feature modern fireplaces, including an electric stove that adds warmth and character without feeling out of place in this contemporary setting. The addition of a modern ground floor shower room is particularly useful for busy households or visiting guests and adds to the everyday practicality of the layout. To the rear, the open plan dining kitchen is very much the heart of the home. This is a space designed for real life, where cooking, eating, working, and socialising can comfortably coexist. The range of fitted wall, base, and tower units provides extensive storage, while integrated appliances and premium Quartz work surfaces give the room a sleek, durable finish. The central island works as both a preparation area and an informal gathering point, whether that is for morning coffee, homework, or catching up at the end of the day. There is ample space for a large dining table, making it easy to host family meals or larger gatherings without feeling cramped. Just off the kitchen, the utility room is another practical addition, helping to keep laundry and household tasks neatly out of sight. Rising to the first floor, the accommodation continues to impress with three well-proportioned bedrooms, all presented in neutral tones that allow new owners to personalise with ease. Each room feels comfortably sized, suitable for children, guests, or working from home, and benefits from the calm, consistent finish that runs throughout the property. The family bathroom is modern and well appointed, featuring a bath with overhead shower, WC, and vanity wash hand basin, offering a clean, contemporary space that serves this floor well. The second floor is dedicated to the main bedroom suite, and it is here that the home really comes into its own. Generous in size and thoughtfully arranged, this room provides a peaceful retreat away from the main living areas. Fitted wardrobes offer excellent storage without encroaching on floor space, and the outlook over the surrounding area adds to the sense of privacy and calm. It is easy to imagine this as a space to properly unwind at the end of a long day, with enough room to accommodate additional furniture should you wish. Outside, the rear garden is a real highlight. A block paved patio terrace wraps around the back of the property, creating several seating areas that work well for outdoor meals, summer gatherings, or simply enjoying a quiet moment with a book. This flows naturally into a neatly maintained lawn, bordered by established plants, shrubs, and fencing that provide both structure and privacy. Beyond the garden, the uninterrupted countryside views give a pleasing sense of openness and connection to the surrounding landscape, something that is increasingly hard to find while remaining so well connected. From a practical standpoint, the property benefits from gas central heating, double glazing, and a full programme of renovation, meaning buyers can move in with confidence and minimal immediate outlay. With approximately 1,709 square feet of internal accommodation arranged over three floors, the home offers space that is genuinely usable, rather than simply impressive on paper. It is well suited to growing families, professionals working partly from home, or those simply looking for a property that can adapt as life changes. The location is another strong point. Westhead is a well-regarded village offering a sense of community alongside everyday convenience. Nearby schools are well placed for families, while local shops and services cater for daily needs. For those who commute, there are good road links to surrounding towns and motorway networks, making travel towards Wigan, Ormskirk, Southport, and further afield straightforward. Public transport options are also within reach, adding to the flexibility of the location. There are pleasant walks and open spaces nearby, making it easy to enjoy the semi-rural setting without sacrificing accessibility. Overall, this is a home that feels complete. The renovation has been carried out with care, the layout works for modern living, and the setting offers both practicality and appeal. It is the kind of property where small details, from the garage and driveway to the utility room and countryside views, come together to make a noticeable difference in everyday life. Internal inspection is highly recommended to fully appreciate the space, finish, and atmosphere on offer. Tenure: We understand the property to be Freehold, however prospective purchasers should seek to obtain verification of this from their solicitor. Council Tax Band C.
