Arnold & Phillips are pleased to present this characterful two-bedroom end-terrace cottage, delightfully positioned along the sought-after Bold Lane in the heart of Aughton – a location known for its balance of village charm and excellent accessibility.
Set within one of West Lancashire’s most desirable areas, this traditional cottage stands proudly at the end of a quiet terrace, enjoying both added privacy and a slightly broader footprint. The position here is particularly appealing – just a short stroll from Town Green railway station, with regular connections into Liverpool and Ormskirk, and within walking distance of local amenities including independent shops, cafés, and well-regarded schools. For those who value location as much as potential, this property strikes a compelling balance.
Approaching the property, the frontage is instantly inviting. A charming bay-fronted window lends a touch of character and allows a generous sense of space within. On stepping inside, you're welcomed into a surprisingly generous layout, with two adjoining reception rooms that have been thoughtfully opened up to create one large, continuous living and dining area. This through lounge arrangement works well for modern living – spacious enough for hosting friends or simply enjoying a quiet evening in. The space retains a comfortable and functional layout, with plenty of room to define separate seating and dining zones depending on your needs. A central chimney breast could potentially house a feature fire or log burner, adding warmth and personality to the room should you wish to enhance its traditional charm.
To the rear, the kitchen is compact but practical, offering a full range of fitted base and wall units with contrasting worktops and integrated appliances already in place. While the kitchen may benefit from a few modern updates, it serves perfectly well in its current format and could easily be reimagined into a sleek, efficient space with a little imagination. Just beyond the kitchen, a rear sunroom extension has been added – a handy extra space that catches the afternoon light and would lend itself well to a variety of uses. It’s currently utilised as a secondary sitting area but could, quite cleverly, be converted into a ground floor bathroom or utility room, especially if a three-bedroom layout upstairs were desired – a popular option for buyers looking to maximise value and functionality.
Upstairs, the two double bedrooms continue the theme of generous proportions. The main bedroom is particularly noteworthy – neutrally finished, with integrated wardrobes already in place and a pleasant open outlook across neighbouring rooftops and trees. The second bedroom is another well-sized double, ideal for guests, family or even as a home office if working from home is part of your lifestyle. The main bathroom, located on the first floor, is well-proportioned and features a bath with overhead shower, WC and a fitted vanity unit with inset wash basin. It’s practical, clean, and would easily accommodate any updates or personal touches in the future.
Externally, the rear courtyard garden is a real asset. It’s fully flagged for easy maintenance and benefits from a lovely sense of privacy, as it isn’t directly overlooked. Whether you’re looking for somewhere to enjoy a morning coffee in the sunshine or a quiet spot for outdoor dining in the warmer months, the space here offers just the right blend of simplicity and potential. There's enough room to add potted plants or raised beds for those who enjoy a touch of greenery, all without the commitment of a high-maintenance garden.
Aughton itself is a fantastic place to put down roots. Highly regarded locally for its community feel and blend of village and suburban living, the area is particularly popular with professionals and families alike. Excellent transport links make commuting straightforward, while nearby amenities such as shops, doctors, and reputable primary and secondary schools are all within easy reach. Ormskirk town centre is just a short drive away for broader shopping and leisure options, while scenic countryside walks and green spaces are also close at hand for weekend exploration.
With just under 1,000 square feet of accommodation on offer and the benefit of double glazing and gas central heating throughout, this is a property that presents a wealth of opportunity. Whether you're a first-time buyer keen to get on the ladder, a professional looking for a well-connected home in a desirable area, or an investor with an eye for value, there’s plenty here to pique interest.
