Arnold & Phillips are delighted to present this beautifully renovated and thoughtfully extended two-bedroom semi-detached home, occupying a popular position along Derby Hill Road in Ormskirk.
Stylishly updated throughout, fully rendered and finished to an exceptional standard, this is a property that immediately feels ready to move into, whilst still offering future flexibility thanks to its original three-bedroom layout.
The house has been carefully improved to create a more generous principal bedroom suite, though importantly, the original third bedroom could easily be reinstated with the addition of a simple stud wall should a new owner require an extra bedroom. This adaptability is one of the property’s most attractive features, allowing it to work equally well for couples, young families or buyers wanting space to grow into over time.
To the front, the property is approached via a modern composite entrance door and useful porch, with a private driveway providing off-road parking for several vehicles, and Zaptec Go EV Charging Point. The frontage has been well maintained and gives an immediate sense that the house has been looked after with care. Positioned back from the road, there is a pleasing balance between practicality and kerb appeal, whilst the driveway is especially useful for busy households or visiting guests.
Stepping inside, you are welcomed into a spacious main living room positioned to the front of the property. Beautifully presented and centred around a contemporary feature fireplace, the room has a comfortable and settled feel, with enough space for larger furniture without ever feeling overcrowded. It is a room that works particularly well for quieter evenings, with the fireplace providing a natural focal point and helping the room feel both modern and inviting.
Throughout the property, premium oak cottage doors have been fitted, adding a more considered and consistent finish that ties the house together particularly well. These details, whilst subtle, make a real difference to the overall feel of the home and reflect the standard of renovation that has taken place.
To the rear of the living room, the house opens into a beautifully appointed dining kitchen that forms the heart of the home. Designed with both style and practicality in mind, the kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of wall, base and tower units, creating excellent storage and ensuring the room feels organised and uncluttered. Integrated appliances have been neatly incorporated, whilst contrasting work surfaces provide a more contemporary finish and a practical amount of preparation space. The room is large enough to accommodate a proper dining area, making it a naturally sociable space and one that lends itself perfectly to modern family life. Whether used for everyday meals, entertaining friends or simply spending time together at the end of the day, the layout works especially well because it allows the kitchen and dining areas to remain connected.
Beyond the kitchen, the property has been extended to create a generous garden room conservatory. This additional reception space adds a great deal to the overall feel of the house and offers a second sitting area that can be enjoyed throughout much of the year. Overlooking the rear garden, it is a room that feels calm and private, and one which could easily adapt to suit a range of lifestyles. It works equally well as a more relaxed family room, somewhere to read and unwind, or even as a playroom or home office if required. The connection to the garden is particularly appealing and helps the property feel larger and more versatile than many similar homes.
Upstairs, the first floor continues the same high standard of presentation found throughout the rest of the property. There are currently two bedrooms, both of which are well proportioned and thoughtfully arranged with bespoke fitted wardrobes and carefully chosen finishes. The principal bedroom is especially impressive. Originally two separate rooms, it has been reconfigured to create a much larger bedroom suite with a dedicated dressing area and an excellent amount of fitted storage. The result is a room that feels far more luxurious and spacious than might normally be expected in a property of this type, offering plenty of room for a larger bed and additional furniture whilst still retaining a sense of openness. For buyers who would prefer a third bedroom, the room could easily be returned to its original arrangement with the addition of a stud wall, making this an important detail to mention for anyone considering the property for longer-term family use.
The second bedroom is another attractive double room and would make an ideal guest room, child’s bedroom or home office depending on the needs of the next owner. As with the rest of the house, it has been finished to a high standard and benefits from useful fitted storage. The family bathroom has been updated in a modern and practical style, with full tiling providing a clean and polished finish. The suite comprises a bath with overhead shower, WC and vanity wash hand basin, whilst a heated towel radiator adds a more contemporary touch and enhances the overall comfort of the room. The inclusion of a vanity unit is particularly useful, helping to keep everyday items neatly stored away.
Outside, the rear garden is every bit as impressive as the interior. Carefully landscaped and enjoying a private aspect, it offers a series of distinct areas that make it easy to enjoy at different times of day. Immediately outside the house is a premium Indian stone patio terrace which wraps around the rear elevation and creates an excellent space for outdoor seating and entertaining. With enough room for a table and chairs, it is easy to imagine enjoying meals outside during the warmer months or simply making the most of the peaceful surroundings. Beyond the patio, a central lawn provides a softer contrast and gives the garden a more open feel. Painted timber fencing frames the boundaries neatly, whilst established plants and shrubs add colour and interest without creating too much maintenance. To the rear of the garden, a raised decking area provides a second seating space and an ideal place to enjoy the later sun. The fact that the garden is not directly overlooked is particularly noteworthy and gives the whole space a more private and tranquil feel.
Derby Hill Road remains a highly convenient and popular location within Ormskirk, particularly for buyers wanting easy access to both the town centre and surrounding amenities. A wide range of shops, supermarkets, cafés and restaurants are all close by, whilst several highly regarded primary and secondary schools make the area especially attractive to families. Excellent transport links are another major advantage, with straightforward access into Ormskirk town centre and onward connections towards Liverpool, Preston and Southport.
For buyers looking for a home that combines a high standard of finish with flexibility and future potential, this property represents a particularly appealing opportunity. The work has already been done, the layout is versatile and the garden offers a level of privacy and enjoyment that is difficult to find. Internal inspection is strongly advised to fully appreciate everything this home has to offer.
