Arnold and Phillips are delighted to present this well-maintained four-bedroom detached home, ideally positioned along Derby Road in the well-established and increasingly sought-after area of Old Skelmersdale. Set within a popular residential neighbourhood that blends quiet living with everyday convenience, this home offers a flexible internal layout and an outdoor space that’s easy to enjoy and manage — an ideal fit for families, professionals, or those looking for room to grow.

The property sits back slightly from the road, offering a modest yet smart frontage with private driveway parking and access to the side of the home. Stepping inside, you're welcomed into a central hallway that feels functional and well-arranged, immediately setting the tone for how the rest of the home has been planned with day-to-day living in mind. The layout allows for easy movement between rooms, with clearly defined areas that can adapt with changing needs.

To the left of the entrance is a versatile reception room. Currently used as a dining room, it could just as easily serve as a downstairs bedroom, home office or playroom. It’s a practical, manageable space with enough room for a full dining setup or a comfortable workspace, depending on lifestyle needs. To the right, the main living room offers a cosy and homely feel, flowing seamlessly into a conservatory at the rear. This extended space provides a useful second seating area that opens directly onto the garden, making it a nice spot to relax while still feeling connected to the outdoors. It’s not overly bright, but well-balanced in terms of natural light, offering a calm and practical living environment throughout the day.

The kitchen sits at the rear of the house and offers good workspace and storage with both base and wall units. Its position means it overlooks the garden, which is ideal if you’re keeping an eye on little ones or pets while cooking or working from home. There's enough room to accommodate a breakfast table or bar area if you prefer a more casual dining option, and the layout would lend itself well to any future updates or modernisation, should you wish to personalise the space. A downstairs WC is tucked conveniently off the hallway, adding a helpful extra for busy households or visiting guests.

Upstairs, the property continues to offer practical space. The master bedroom is positioned at the front of the house and benefits from an en suite shower room, providing a bit of extra comfort and privacy. The remaining three bedrooms are all well-sized — easily accommodating double beds or being repurposed for hobbies, home working, or additional storage. They’re served by a central family bathroom which is straightforward and easy to maintain, with potential to upgrade if desired, but fully functional as it stands. The proportions upstairs make this house particularly appealing for families with growing children, shared households, or buyers who simply want a bit more breathing room.

Outside, the side garden has been laid out in a way that’s easy to manage but still pleasant to spend time in. A mix of patio and lawn means you can make good use of it during warmer months — whether that’s eating outside, letting children play safely, or just enjoying some time outdoors without the demands of extensive gardening. The space feels private, with fencing providing a secure and contained area, and there’s enough flexibility here for those who may wish to add planting, outdoor storage, or a small seating area.

Derby Road itself is a quiet residential street that benefits from being part of the well-regarded Old Skelmersdale community. The location offers solid transport links, with easy access to the M58 and nearby railway stations at Upholland and Ormskirk, making commuting into Liverpool, Wigan, or Manchester straightforward. For families, there are several well-rated primary and secondary schools in the local area, as well as nurseries and childcare providers. Everyday amenities including shops, supermarkets, GP surgeries, and leisure centres are all within easy reach. There are also open green spaces and walking routes close by, offering an escape into nature without being too far from home.

Overall, this home strikes a great balance — a practical and adaptable space that’s ready to move into, while still offering scope for personalisation. It would particularly suit buyers who value a functional layout, manageable outdoor space, and proximity to local amenities, all within a friendly and established neighbourhood.
