Arnold and Phillips are delighted to present this two-bedroom semi-detached home in the ever-popular village of Burscough — a property that offers a great opportunity for first-time buyers or those looking to downsize and create something personal in a well-connected, friendly community. Set within a quiet residential area, this home provides the kind of potential that’s becoming harder to find — a chance to modernise and refresh the interiors while benefiting from a solid structure and a comfortable, manageable layout.
Approaching the property, there’s a modest frontage with space for off-road parking in front of the detached single garage, positioned slightly back from the house itself. The garage is a handy addition — ideal for storage, DIY, or even conversion to a home office or studio if required, subject to permissions. A small entrance porch adds practicality, offering a space to leave coats and shoes before stepping into the main part of the home.
Inside, the living room is the first space you encounter. It’s well-proportioned for a property of this type and has a straightforward layout that makes it easy to furnish — whether that’s with a large sofa set-up for evenings in, or a mix of shelving and media units for those who like a clean, organised look. There’s plenty of room here to create a comfortable everyday living space. Neutral décor and some simple upgrades would bring this room right up to date with minimal effort.
To the rear of the property is the kitchen, which overlooks the garden. The Kitchen benefits from plenty of wall and base storage units with space for integrated appliances and a small dining table. There’s scope to reconfigure the units to open things up or add more usable surface and storage areas. The kitchen has access to the garden, making it convenient for day-to-day use and for hosting during the warmer months.
Upstairs, the home continues its practical, well-planned layout. There are two bedrooms, both of which are a good size. The main bedroom sits at the front and has enough depth to comfortably fit a double bed along with wardrobes and additional furniture, with no sense of being cramped. The second bedroom faces the back and would suit a child’s room, guest bedroom, or could easily be used as a home office or dressing room, depending on your lifestyle. It also benefits from a pleasant outlook over the garden.
The family bathroom is also on this floor. It has the space to accommodate a full modern suite and could be redesigned to include more efficient storage or a walk-in shower if preferred. The plumbing and layout are straightforward, which makes renovation simpler and less costly.
A great feature of this property is the rear garden. Fully enclosed and not overlooked at the back, it’s private and peaceful. It’s not too large to manage but provides more than enough space for enjoying time outdoors — whether you prefer a quiet morning coffee, weekend barbecues with friends, or letting children or pets play safely. There’s potential here to introduce decking or a paved area to create a dedicated seating zone, and the garage’s positioning means garden storage or even a small workshop space is already taken care of.
The location is a key draw for this home. Burscough is well regarded for its balance of convenience and charm, with a range of local shops, cafes and supermarkets nearby, including Booths and Tesco. Burscough Wharf and the canal-side walks are within easy reach and offer a great option for leisurely weekends or evening strolls. For commuters, Burscough Junction and Burscough Bridge train stations provide excellent rail links to Liverpool, Southport and Manchester, while road access is straightforward to the A59 and M58. For families or buyers planning ahead, there are also several well-rated primary and secondary schools in the area.
This home represents a genuine opportunity — the kind of place where you can move in and take your time shaping it to suit your needs. It’s not a full renovation, and for many buyers, that balance is ideal: liveable as it is, yet open to transformation. If you’ve been waiting for a property in a good location, with private outdoor space and real potential to add value, this one is well worth a closer look.
