Arnold & Phillips are pleased to present for sale this versatile three/four-bedroom bungalow with extended pitched roof, attractively positioned on a private plot along the ever-popular Calder Avenue in the heart of Ormskirk, West Lancashire.
Tucked away from the roadside yet within comfortable strolling distance of the town centre, this well-situated home strikes a rare balance between peaceful residential living and everyday convenience.
Set back along a private driveway, the property is fronted by a generous double garage — a notable feature for those needing secure parking, extra storage, or workshop space. The drive itself offers ample off-road parking, easily accommodating multiple vehicles, and the frontage is neatly maintained, giving a tidy and well-kept first impression on approach.
Stepping inside, the ground floor presents a flexible and well-considered layout. Immediately to the front, two spacious reception rooms offer traditional living spaces with the potential to suit a range of lifestyles. The bay-fronted lounge is bright without being overstated and provides a natural spot for relaxed seating or family gatherings. The second reception, also positioned at the front, is currently set up as a more formal sitting room but could be equally well suited as a home office or even a ground floor bedroom — a practical option for multi-generational households or those planning for single-level living. This room benefits from close proximity to the central shower room, which has been stylishly modernised to include a walk-in shower, WC and a contemporary vanity basin unit — all designed with comfort and usability in mind.
Moving through to the rear of the property, the layout opens out into a generous family dining kitchen. This space has clearly been designed as the social heart of the home. Fitted with a range of wall, base and tall units in a clean, modern finish, it also includes integrated appliances and a broad layout that allows for both food preparation and informal dining. There’s further room here for a secondary lounge or snug area — a popular feature for families wanting a multi-functional open-plan environment that brings people together. The adjoining utility room is well-sized, providing dedicated space for laundry, storage and general household tasks without encroaching on the kitchen’s main area.
Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms are set across the dormer level, each neutrally decorated to allow easy personalisation and all enjoying a pleasant aspect over the surrounding neighbourhood. A second shower/bathroom serves this floor and mirrors the modern styling seen elsewhere in the home, while generous eaves storage helps keep clutter at bay — a subtle but important feature for families.
The rear garden is particularly appealing. Its size offers plenty of usable space without feeling overwhelming. A broad stone terrace runs directly off the kitchen and is well placed for enjoying a meal outdoors or simply watching the children play. The central lawn is framed by mature trees and established planting, providing a degree of privacy and a touch of character that often takes years to cultivate. A substantial brick insulated summerhouse sits towards the rear boundary — currently used for storage, but with clear potential to serve as a home office, studio, gym, or a relaxed entertaining space separate from the main house.
Situated just a short walk from the centre of Ormskirk, this property benefits from access to an excellent range of local amenities. A selection of well-regarded schools are nearby, both primary and secondary, making this a sensible choice for families. Ormskirk itself offers a mix of independent shops, larger supermarkets, cafés, and restaurants, while the historic market continues to be a draw for residents and visitors alike. For those needing to commute or travel further afield, the transport links are strong — the nearby railway station provides direct access into Liverpool and beyond, while the road network connects easily to the wider West Lancs region.
This home offers a thoughtful blend of practicality, comfort and future flexibility. With over 2,000 square feet of internal accommodation and a large, private plot, it stands as a rare opportunity to acquire a home that can evolve alongside its owners’ needs. Early viewing is highly recommended to appreciate all that’s on offer here.
