Arnold and Phillips are pleased to present this well-kept three-bedroom semi-detached home, quietly nestled along the popular Fern Close in Skelmersdale, West Lancs. Positioned within a friendly, established residential area and just a short distance from essential amenities, this property offers a great deal of everyday practicality and would suit families, first-time buyers or anyone looking for a comfortable, low-maintenance home in a convenient location.
The property sits back from the road, with a private driveway providing off-road parking for at least one vehicle. This tidy frontage continues the theme of a home that’s been well looked after over the years—somewhere you can move into and settle without facing a long list of urgent tasks.
Stepping inside, you’re met with a straightforward and sensible layout. To the front of the house, the main living room is generously sized and has a pleasant, homely feel. It’s anchored by a traditional red-brick fireplace—an eye-catching feature that adds character without overpowering the room. There’s space enough for a full suite of furniture, and the room works well whether you're settling in for a quiet evening or entertaining guests.
To the rear, the kitchen and dining space is laid out in an open plan format, which offers a nice flow for day-to-day family life. The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall, base and tall units, offering plenty of cupboard and surface space. Integrated appliances are already in place, and there’s room to move and work without it feeling cramped. The adjoining dining area accommodates a good-sized table and sits within easy reach of the garden, making this part of the home feel like a central hub where everything comes together naturally. A separate utility room sits just off the kitchen, providing a useful space for laundry and additional storage. With its own rear access, it’s particularly handy for muddy boots or dogs coming in from the garden, helping to keep the main living areas that bit more manageable.
Upstairs, the first floor offers three family bedrooms. Two of these are genuine doubles, each with enough space for wardrobes and other bedroom furniture without having to compromise. The third bedroom, while smaller, still has enough room for a single bed or could be adapted to work well as a home office or nursery. The layout up here works well, and the proportions feel right for modern family life. The bathroom is practical and straightforward, with a bath and overhead shower, wash basin and a separate WC. While it’s currently finished in a neutral style, it offers scope to be updated in time if a buyer wanted to put their own stamp on things.
At the back of the property, the garden offers a good sense of privacy, not being directly overlooked by neighbouring houses. It’s been arranged with ease of maintenance in mind, with most of the surface area flagged and a substantial timber deck creating an inviting area for outdoor seating and socialising. Whether you're hosting family or just enjoying the weekend in your own space, it’s well suited to both relaxation and entertaining. The layout also makes it easier to add planters or garden furniture without feeling cluttered.
The property benefits from double glazing and gas central heating throughout and is approaching 900 square feet in total. The manageable size and well-considered layout mean it would suit a broad range of buyers, particularly those looking for something that’s ready to move into, with potential to personalise at their own pace.
Fern Close itself is a quiet cul-de-sac that remains well-connected to the wider area. A short drive or walk takes you to a range of shops, services and supermarkets, while primary and secondary schools are within easy reach, making the area well regarded for families. Transport links are solid, with the M58 nearby for those commuting towards Liverpool, Southport or Manchester, and Skelmersdale’s bus network serving local routes reliably.
This is a property that offers good value and flexibility in a location that balances community with convenience. It’s somewhere that could suit a growing family just as well as someone looking to downsize without losing outdoor space or independence. Internal viewing is recommended to appreciate the layout and condition firsthand.
