Arnold and Phillips are pleased to present this charming three-bedroom semi-detached period home, ideally situated in a sought-after residential area of Ormskirk. Full of original character and warmth, this inviting property blends historical charm with day-to-day practicality, offering a flexible layout that suits both growing families and those taking their first step onto the property ladder.
Approaching the property, the kerb appeal is immediately evident. A well-kept front garden sets the tone, with a mix of established planting and mature shrubbery that softens the frontage and provides privacy from the road. The home is set back slightly, giving a pleasant separation from the pavement, while a private side access path leads you conveniently to the front door.
Upon entering, the hallway provides a practical space to step in and take off your shoes, with enough room to add storage if desired. Immediately to the left, the first of two reception rooms overlooks the front garden through a wide, traditional window. This room has a cosy yet well-proportioned feel — an ideal spot for a quieter sitting area or a home office setup, particularly for those working remotely. The high ceilings and preserved architectural features, such as decorative cornicing and deep skirtings, add a real sense of authenticity to the space without making it feel overly formal.
Continuing through to the heart of the home, the main living area is a generous space that bridges both the front and rear of the property, creating a natural through-flow. This room comfortably supports a range of layouts, whether you're setting up a relaxed family room or something more geared towards entertaining. It’s a space that adapts easily depending on your lifestyle. The dual aspect offers pleasant garden views at both ends, giving a sense of openness without being overexposed. This space is heated via a log burning fireplace and has French doors leading to the rear garden.
To the rear sits the kitchen — a well-maintained and welcoming space. Its layout is practical and accessible. The finish of the Kitchen is neutral and modern with plenty of wall and base storage units and integrated appliances. With direct access out to the rear garden, the kitchen becomes a functional everyday hub that works especially well when friends or family are visiting, keeping everything flowing smoothly between indoor and outdoor areas.
Upstairs, three bedrooms are arranged off a central landing. Each room offers its own unique outlook, and the proportions are comfortably suited to modern family life. The main bedroom sits towards the front and feels particularly spacious, with enough room for larger furniture pieces without overwhelming the layout. The second bedroom to the rear benefits from a pleasant garden view and has a calm, quieter aspect — ideal for a guest room or child’s bedroom. The third bedroom is more modest in size but would serve well as a nursery, study, or even a dressing room if preferred. A neatly presented family bathroom serves all three, and the configuration upstairs supports an easy daily routine for couples or families alike.
Outside, the rear garden is private and well-proportioned. It’s accessible via a private road that leads to the property’s own drive — a particularly practical detail, especially in areas where on-street parking can be limited. The garden offers a lovely setting to enjoy outdoor meals, children’s play, or simply a bit of fresh air. There’s plenty of space for planting or adding additional seating areas, and the separation from the main road keeps it peaceful. It also opens up options for small garden projects, whether you're an avid gardener or simply enjoy a tidy, low-maintenance space.
Ormskirk itself offers a fantastic location for both convenience and community. There are several well-regarded schools in the local area, making it a sensible choice for families. The town centre is just a short distance away, offering a great range of shops, cafes, and supermarkets — perfect for day-to-day needs. For those commuting or travelling further afield, Ormskirk railway station provides regular connections to Liverpool and beyond, and the motorway network is easily reached by car.
All in all, this is a property that manages to retain the character and proportions of a period home while offering the flexibility and location modern buyers look for. Whether you're searching for a first home with space to grow into, or a charming and practical family base, this home in Ormskirk is well worth a closer look.
