Arnold and Phillips are pleased to present this impressive four-bedroom detached home, nestled in the highly regarded Kestrel Mews development in Skelmersdale, West Lancs.
Positioned on a generous plot and offering a well-balanced layout across two spacious floors, this executive property combines practical day-to-day functionality with quality fittings and finishes that will appeal to families and professionals seeking a long-term home with room to grow.
Tucked away along this quiet and attractive cul-de-sac, the home enjoys a broad frontage and an immediately welcoming kerb appeal. A well-maintained driveway provides ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles, with a detached double garage sitting to one side — ideal for secure storage, additional utility use or even conversion to suit modern homeworking needs. The gardens to the front have been neatly landscaped and offer a pleasant buffer from the road, while still retaining an open feel.
Once inside, the layout reveals itself to be thoughtfully planned, allowing for both open-plan living and individual retreat. The property enjoys two formal reception rooms positioned at the front of the home — both good-sized spaces with a straightforward shape, lending themselves to a variety of furniture arrangements. These rooms have been tastefully decorated and could serve equally well as a second lounge, snug, or a more formal dining area depending on lifestyle needs. The principal lounge is notably generous and stretches through into an additional living area and further into a conservatory at the rear. This garden room adds a flexible third reception space that connects well with the outdoor area — particularly useful in the warmer months when indoor and outdoor entertaining can naturally blend.
Centrally located off the main hallway is a well-placed WC and additional storage options — small touches, but ones that make a big difference to the flow and function of the home. To the rear, the open-plan kitchen sits at the heart of the living space, with a practical layout that includes a wide selection of wall, base and tower units, integrated appliances and contrasting worktops. A feature breakfast bar provides a casual eating option, while the open-plan design allows for plenty of movement and engagement between those cooking and those gathered nearby. A separate utility room is set just off the kitchen and offers a dedicated space for laundry and additional storage — always useful to keep the main areas clutter-free.
Upstairs, the home continues to impress with four well-proportioned bedrooms, three of which are comfortable doubles. Built-in wardrobes are included in several of the rooms, maximising floor space and keeping things tidy. The main bedroom stands out for its size, and with the addition of a private dressing area and a modern en-suite bathroom, it creates a more refined and comfortable retreat away from the rest of the household. The remaining bedrooms share access to a well-appointed family bathroom, fitted with a full-sized bath, overhead shower, WC and vanity unit — presented in a smart, tiled finish and offering everything a growing family could need.
To the rear, the garden offers a good degree of privacy and is not directly overlooked. A flagged patio terrace runs along the back of the house, providing a generous setting for outdoor furniture, barbecues or just relaxing with a view of the garden. The rest of the space is laid to lawn and enclosed by timber fencing, with established planting along the borders adding greenery without becoming high-maintenance. The garden is manageable yet large enough for children to enjoy or for buyers with gardening aspirations to develop further.
Kestrel Mews is a well-regarded residential address within Skelmersdale, benefitting from a strong sense of community and convenient access to a wide range of amenities. Local shops, parks, leisure facilities and eateries are all within easy reach, while a number of highly rated primary and secondary schools are located nearby, making the area particularly appealing to families. Commuters are well catered for too, with excellent transport links by both road and rail — including quick access to the M58 and nearby connections to the wider motorway network, placing Liverpool, Preston and Manchester all within comfortable commuting distance.
This is a property that combines size, practicality and future flexibility in equal measure. From the multiple reception areas to the smart use of storage and the generous outside space, this home has clearly been designed for real life — the kind that requires both space to gather and places to retreat. Whether you’re upsizing, relocating for work or simply looking for a more modern layout that can evolve with you, this property delivers in both form and function.
