Arnold and Phillips are delighted to present for sale this substantial four-bedroom detached dormer bungalow, proudly set within a generous and private plot along the peaceful and well-regarded Intake Lane in Bickerstaffe, West Lancashire.

Tucked away in a quiet semi-rural setting, 'The Grange' offers a rare balance — countryside tranquillity without sacrificing access to nearby amenities, transport connections or practical day-to-day living. It’s the kind of home that gives you options, whether you’re looking for space to accommodate multi-generational living, seeking single-floor practicality, or planning to evolve the layout further in future.

From the outset, the appeal of this home is evident. Set back from the road behind a long private driveway, there’s more than enough parking for several vehicles with ease, and the inclusion of a detached double garage adds additional flexibility, whether for secure parking, storage or even conversion if required. The wrap-around gardens create a sense of space and privacy around the house, giving you a generous outdoor setting that still feels manageable.

Stepping inside, the home opens into a large and welcoming entrance hall, with the main living accommodation arranged predominantly over the ground floor. This traditional dormer configuration provides genuine flexibility — ideal if you're looking for future-proofed living on one level. Three double bedrooms are located to one side of the property, all well-sized and positioned to make the most of the surrounding green outlook. Each room is finished in neutral tones, providing a blank canvas for a new owner to personalise, and offering proportions that can easily accommodate full bedroom furniture without feeling cramped.

The two reception rooms sit at the heart of the home. One acts as the principal lounge, large enough to comfortably seat family or guests and with space for additional furniture, media units or even a piano. The second reception room — slightly more tucked away — could suit a formal dining space, a home office, or snug, depending on your needs. Both offer flexibility for modern lifestyles, whether you're entertaining, working from home or simply want room for the family to spread out.

The kitchen is located toward the rear and is well-equipped with a range of wall, base and tower units. A collection of integrated appliances is already in place, and there's enough room for a sizeable dining table, making it practical for informal family meals. Just off the kitchen is a handy utility area that keeps laundry and additional storage tucked out of the way — something many buyers appreciate once they’ve had it. Also on the ground floor are two separate WCs and a full family bathroom with bath and separate shower — a layout that ensures the daily routine runs smoothly, especially for larger families or guests.

Upstairs, the property has been extended into the loft to create a further fourth double bedroom. This space works well as an additional bedroom, guest suite or even a hobby room, but it also hints at the clear potential the home offers. Subject to planning permissions, there’s opportunity to expand further upstairs, creating an impressive dormer extension to match the downstairs proportions and take full advantage of the roof space.

Outside, the gardens are a true highlight. Wrapping around all four sides of the home, the plot is private, mature and well maintained. A combination of lawned areas, established borders and trees adds interest without being overly fussy. A broad patio terrace connects well with the main living areas inside, giving you the option to move dining or entertaining outdoors with ease. It’s the kind of garden that offers just enough without being overwhelming — space for children to play, pets to roam or for keen gardeners to make their mark.

Bickerstaffe itself is a charming and well-connected village, popular for its balance of community feel and rural charm. Local amenities are close at hand, including a primary school, convenience shops and pub, while the nearby market towns of Ormskirk and Rainford offer a more extensive range of facilities. For commuters, junction 3 of the M58 is just a short drive away, making travel toward Liverpool, Manchester or the wider North West straightforward. Rail connections from nearby stations provide further links into the city for work or leisure.

Offered with vacant possession and no onward chain, this is a property that holds clear potential for the right buyer. Whether you're seeking space, privacy, development scope or a long-term family home, ‘The Grange’ ticks the boxes in a quiet, desirable location. Internal inspection is strongly advised to fully appreciate the scope and lifestyle this unique home has to offer.
