Arnold and Phillips are delighted to bring to market this three-bedroom semi-detached home, quietly set along Colinmander Gardens in Ormskirk, West Lancs.

A rare opportunity in a sought-after location, this property presents itself as an exciting project for those looking to create a home that reflects their own style and preferences. With solid proportions, gardens to both the front and rear, and excellent transport and school connections nearby, it has all the right foundations to become a long-term family home once modernised.

The property is approached via a shared driveway, which provides access to the garage which is situated to the rear of the property. A neat front garden softens the frontage and sets the house back from the road, offering a degree of privacy. The home itself is well-positioned, and while it does require upgrading throughout, the overall layout makes it easy to see how it could be reworked to suit modern living.

Inside, the ground floor features two sizeable reception rooms. Both offer generous space, making them flexible for different uses depending on how a buyer prefers to live. The front room could serve as the main lounge, with ample room for comfortable seating, while the dining room sits towards the rear and centres around a traditional fireplace, offering a focal point that could be retained or modernised depending on taste. These rooms are well-proportioned and, with the right finishing touches, have the potential to become welcoming everyday spaces.

The kitchen is currently laid out in a galley style, with cabinetry running along both sides, and it leads directly into the rear garden room conservatory. While dated in its current form, the footprint is practical and could easily be reconfigured into a modern family kitchen, perhaps opened up to connect more fluidly with the dining space or extended further into the garden room to create a larger open-plan environment. The conservatory itself is an added bonus, providing a useful transitional space between the house and garden that could be adapted for a variety of purposes. The ground floor also benefits from a two piece cloakroom/wc.

Upstairs, the first floor holds three bedrooms, two of which are doubles with generous proportions and the third being a well-sized single that could be used as a child’s room, study or hobby space. The bathroom layout is split, with a separate WC and a main bathroom that includes a bath, shower and wash basin. This arrangement may suit some buyers as it stands, but equally provides an opportunity for redesign into one larger, modern family bathroom if preferred.

Externally, the rear garden is private and of a good size, largely laid to lawn and benefits from a mix of established plants and shrubs. With some care and landscaping, this outdoor space could become a real highlight of the property, whether kept as a simple, low-maintenance garden or developed into a more structured area with room for entertaining, play, or growing.

Location is always key, and Colinmander Gardens enjoys a strong position within Ormskirk. The town itself offers a wide range of local amenities, from independent shops and cafés to larger supermarkets, making day-to-day living convenient. Families will appreciate the choice of excellent schools nearby, while commuters benefit from superb transport links, with rail and road connections providing straightforward access to Liverpool, Preston and further afield. Ormskirk is also known for its popular market and historic town centre, creating a blend of character and practicality that continues to attract buyers.

This is a property that will appeal to those with vision, whether first-time buyers looking to take their first step on the ladder and add value, families wanting to adapt the house to their growing needs, or investors seeking a well-located project. This appealing property is also offered with no onward chain and vacant possession. With its generous layout, gardens, and excellent local amenities, it offers an opportunity to create a home tailored exactly to modern requirements.
