Arnold and Phillips are pleased to offer for sale this unique and generously proportioned four-bedroom detached bungalow boasting circa 2100 square feet, set in the heart of the rural and ever-popular village of Halsall. This property offers a rare blend of countryside living and versatile functionality, with extensive outdoor space, equestrian facilities and the kind of adaptable layout that suits a wide range of modern lifestyles.
As you approach the property, a long private driveway leads you away from the road, giving a sense of seclusion and space. There's ample room for multiple vehicles, trailers or horse boxes, with turning space and parking never being a concern here. Mature hedging and trees provide natural screening while the surrounding land frames the home beautifully, offering an immediate sense of openness and privacy that’s hard to come by.
Entering the home, the layout is both logical and family-friendly, with living and sleeping areas thoughtfully separated for practicality and ease of use. Off to the right-hand side, the lounge offers a comfortable and well-sized reception space — somewhere you can easily imagine settling into at the end of the day. Adjacent to this, the dining room provides a dedicated area for mealtimes or entertaining, with enough space to accommodate larger gatherings or to serve as a multi-purpose space should your needs change over time.
At the rear of the property, the kitchen sits overlooking the land behind, offering views that stretch across the garden and paddocks beyond. While currently traditional in style, the space is functional and could be easily updated to suit modern tastes. Its location at the back of the home also lends itself well to potential extension or redesign, subject to planning, to create a more open-plan arrangement if desired.
To the left of the property, a hallway provides access to four bedrooms, all located on one level, making this property particularly attractive for families with younger children or those seeking a home with easier accessibility. Each of the bedrooms is of a comfortable size — ideal for creating individual spaces that can be tailored to different needs, whether as bedrooms, home offices, or hobby rooms. A centrally positioned family bathroom and separate WC help manage the practical needs of a busy household and prevent morning queues.
What sets this home apart, however, is the lifestyle it supports outside the main living accommodation. The outbuilding is currently being used as a utility space and benefits from its own WC, a tack room and a coal store — features that immediately appeal to anyone with equestrian interests or those in need of external storage and functionality. There's also a summer house on the grounds, which provides a quiet retreat or an additional space for hobbies, guests, or even a home office setup.
The equestrian facilities here are a key highlight — with nine stables on site, it’s well equipped for those with horses or for buyers considering starting small-scale livery or pony-keeping. The land wraps around the home, giving excellent sightlines and access, and offers flexibility for paddock creation, turnout, or further landscaping. It’s worth noting how the land integrates with the property — there’s no awkward division of space, and the connection between house and land feels natural and fluid.
Halsall itself is a highly sought-after rural location, offering peace and quiet without isolation. The village is well-regarded locally for its community feel and pretty surroundings, with countryside walks and bridleways easily accessible from the doorstep. For families, local schools such as St Cuthbert’s are within a short drive and enjoy good reputations. Everyday amenities including shops, cafes and larger supermarkets can be found in nearby Ormskirk, which also provides a rail link to Liverpool for those commuting. Access to the A59 and M58 means that travel further afield is straightforward, giving you countryside living without losing connectivity.
This home really does cater to a specific lifestyle — one where space, independence and outdoor living are front and centre. Whether you're a growing family wanting room to breathe, downsizers not yet ready to give up land and animals, or someone simply seeking a different pace of life, this bungalow offers a rare opportunity to create something truly personal in a well-regarded and scenic part of West Lancashire.
