Arnold & Phillips are delighted to offer this four-bedroom detached family home, set along the ever-popular Victoria Park in Skelmersdale, West Lancs.
Homes here don’t tend to change hands often, and once you arrive you can see why; it’s the sort of spot people quickly settle into, with a calm residential feel yet everything you need still within easy reach. This property provides a solid and well-kept base for family living, and while some light cosmetic updating would bring it right up to modern tastes, the fundamentals are strong, the layout is practical, and the potential is immediately clear.
Approached via the main driveway, the property enjoys a wide frontage with an attached garage giving you secure parking and storage options straightaway. Stepping through the main entrance, you’re welcomed into a broad hallway that gives an immediate sense of proportion and allows you to move naturally through the ground floor without any tight corners or awkward transitions, setting s a comfortable tone for the rest of the home.
The living room sits at the front and makes full use of the width of the house, offering plenty of space for larger seating and the kind of layout flexibility families tend to appreciate. Whether you prefer everything grouped around the TV, a more traditional arrangement, or a mix of both, there’s room to make it your own. This leads directly into the dining room, which feels nicely connected without losing its sense of being a separate space when you want it to be. The patio doors here open out to the rear garden, which works particularly well if you enjoy having meals outside during the warmer months or simply want an easy flow between indoors and out when entertaining.
The kitchen sits just off the dining room and is fitted with a range of wall, base and tower units, along with integrated appliances and contrasting worktops that keep everything organised and functional. An appealing point for many buyers is the potential to remove the dividing wall between the kitchen and dining room (subject to any necessary planning consents), which would completely reshape the ground floor into a generous open-plan layout. Even as it stands, the kitchen offers good workable space and a clear footprint to upgrade over time if you want to refresh cabinetry or introduce more contemporary finishes.
Upstairs, the property continues to impress with four well-proportioned bedrooms. Three of these are comfortably sized doubles, each offering enough room for wardrobes and additional furniture without things feeling tight. All enjoy a pleasant outlook over the surrounding area, giving each room a sense of privacy and calm. The fourth bedroom works well as a single, home office or nursery depending on what stage of life you’re at. The family bathroom is spacious and includes a corner shower, WC and wash hand basin, with plenty of scope to modernise to suit your own style - whether that’s a clean contemporary suite or something a little more character-led.
The rear garden is a standout feature and will likely be one of the things that stays with you as you leave the viewing. It’s large, private, and not directly overlooked, which is a real advantage in a residential setting. Premium Indian stone patio areas wrap around the back of the house, offering plenty of room for seating zones or long outdoor tables without eating into the lawn. The central lawn is a good practical size for children, pets or general pottering, and it’s neatly bordered by established plants and shrubs that add shape without demanding too much upkeep. It’s a genuinely relaxing outdoor area with a balanced mix of open space and greenery.
The location is another strong selling point. Victoria Park has long been considered one of Skelmersdale’s more desirable residential pockets, thanks to its settled community feel and easy access to everyday amenities. Nearby you’ll find a choice of supermarkets, shops, schools and parks, along with superb transport links that make commuting simple whether you're heading towards Ormskirk, Southport, Wigan or further afield. Everything is close enough to be convenient, but the road itself remains pleasantly quiet, which is part of the appeal for long-term residents. Internal inspection is highly advised to fully appreciate all on offer within.
