Arnold and Phillips are proud to bring to market this beautifully extended and fully modernised three-bedroom semi-detached home, perfectly positioned along the ever-popular Arbour Lane in Standish. With carefully considered upgrades throughout and a thoughtful layout that blends character with practicality, this home is ideal for modern family life — move-in ready, stylish, and set in a location that continues to grow in appeal.
The property makes a strong first impression with its generous frontage. A large, well-maintained driveway offers ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles, something that’s often hard to come by in such established residential areas. The exterior has been updated with a clean and tasteful finish that complements the surrounding homes while offering a clear sense of individuality. The approach leads to a modest porch area — a handy buffer between outdoors and in — which then opens into a welcoming hallway that gives a first glimpse of the care and detail that have gone into the renovation. The Entrance hall also benefits from underfloor heating.
Immediately to the right, the separate living room is a calm and comfortable space. With a warm, neutral palette and quality flooring underfoot, it’s well-sized without feeling oversized — ideal for quieter evenings or a more private sitting area. There's enough space here to comfortably arrange a mix of seating and media without feeling cramped, and it’s a nice contrast to the much larger open-plan space at the rear of the house. And it’s that rear extension that really defines the heart of this home. The full-width, double-storey addition has transformed the back of the property into a stunning open-plan kitchen, dining and family area that’s hard not to be impressed by. The layout flows naturally, with room for a large dining table and comfortable seating arrangement without any compromise on movement or space. The kitchen itself is sleek and contemporary, with high-spec finishes and integrated appliances — thoughtfully chosen to suit both day-to-day needs and larger social occasions. The worktops are generous, the cabinetry is soft-close, and there’s that added bonus of a large island and breakfast bar — ideal for informal meals or catching up over coffee.
Just off this main space, the utility room offers a practical area to keep laundry and household tasks out of sight. It’s been cleverly positioned to maximise space and sits alongside a separate downstairs WC — an addition made possible thanks to the smart side extension, and something that really adds convenience for family living or when guests are visiting.
Upstairs, the home continues to impress. The extension has allowed for a truly superb main bedroom — not just in terms of floor space but in its proportions overall. It’s a bright, calm space with ample room for freestanding furniture and wardrobes without making the room feel busy. What really stands out here though is the en suite. A full four-piece bathroom with separate bath and shower, quality tiling and stylish fittings, it offers a level of luxury that’s hard to find at this price point.
The two additional bedrooms — one double and one single — are well-appointed, making this an ideal set-up for growing families, home workers or those who regularly host guests. The family bathroom is positioned centrally off the landing, finished in a similarly high standard with modern fixtures and fittings, and serving the two secondary bedrooms with ease.
The property has been fitted with a modern CCTV camera system for security and protection.
Outside, the rear garden is a real asset. Backing onto open fields, it offers an uninterrupted green outlook that gives a real sense of space and privacy. The raised patio area is ideal for outdoor meals, relaxing with a book or hosting summer gatherings, and the remainder of the garden provides a low-maintenance yet versatile space that could be easily tailored to suit children, pets or those with a keen eye for landscaping.
Arbour Lane itself is a quiet and well-regarded residential road, popular with families and professionals alike. The property is within easy reach of Standish village centre, where you’ll find a good mix of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday essentials. There are a number of highly rated schools nearby — both primary and secondary — making the area particularly attractive for those with school-age children. Transport links are strong, with quick access to the M6 for commuting north or south, and regular bus services connecting you to nearby Wigan and beyond.
This is a home that offers far more than meets the eye — thoughtfully extended, finished to a high standard and positioned in a location that continues to offer strong long-term appeal. Whether you're upsizing, relocating or simply looking for a home that’s been carefully updated with nothing left to do, this is a property well worth your time to view.
