Arnold & Phillips are pleased to present for sale this attractive two-bedroom first floor apartment, positioned within the desirable Mill Leat Close development at the heart of Parbold Village, West Lancashire.
This is a home that will appeal to those seeking a convenient lifestyle in a well-regarded setting, where every essential is within walking distance and the surroundings provide both charm and practicality.
Approached through a well-maintained communal entrance, the apartment benefits from an allocated resident parking bay, providing reassurance that parking is always available. The development itself holds a good reputation locally, with its tidy presentation and quiet positioning making it a sought-after address in the village.
Stepping inside, the accommodation has been neutrally decorated throughout, offering a clean and adaptable space that can easily reflect a new owner’s style. The main living room is particularly generous in size and well arranged, with enough space to accommodate both comfortable seating and additional furnishings without feeling crowded. A picture window with Juliet balcony enhances the outlook and frames delightful views directly across the Leeds–Liverpool Canal. It is a view that changes with the seasons, from the greenery of summer to the calmness of winter, and one that adds a distinct sense of place to this apartment. The presence of passing canal boats and wildlife makes it especially appealing, giving a sense of life beyond the window that is rarely found in village apartments.
The kitchen adjoins, fitted with a range of wall, base and tower units in a practical layout. Integrated appliances are included, and there is space for a small dining table, making this room functional for everyday use. The work-surfaces provide good preparation space, and the room as a whole has been finished in a way that balances durability with ease of maintenance.
The apartment provides two well-sized bedrooms. The main bedroom is a comfortable double with fitted wardrobes already in place, a helpful feature that maximises the usable floor space while reducing the need for additional furniture. The second bedroom is equally versatile, whether used as a guest room, study, or even a dressing room, depending on individual needs. These rooms are served by a modern family bathroom, fitted with a corner shower, WC, and wash hand basin, and finished in a contemporary tiled design that feels both clean and well presented.
Practical details add to the appeal of this property. The apartment benefits from modern central heating and double glazing throughout, contributing to both comfort and efficiency. With vacant possession and no onward chain, the move-in process is made far simpler for any prospective buyer, whether they are stepping onto the property ladder for the first time, downsizing, or seeking a convenient lock-up-and-leave home.
Beyond the apartment itself, the location is a major draw. Parbold is a village known for its welcoming community and scenic setting. The centre is only a short walk away, providing a range of local shops, cafes, and amenities that make day-to-day living straightforward. The village also enjoys excellent transport connections, with Parbold railway station just a few minutes’ walk from the property, offering direct links into Manchester, Southport and beyond. Road connections are equally convenient, with easy access to the M6 and M58 motorways. For those who enjoy the outdoors, the surrounding countryside and canal paths provide endless opportunities for walking and cycling, while local pubs and eateries offer spots to relax afterwards.
In all, this apartment at Mill Leat Close combines a sought-after village location with comfortable, practical living accommodation. It is rare to find a property that offers such pleasant canal-side views while being within walking distance of amenities and transport links, and it is this combination that makes the home particularly attractive.
