1 CHURCH HOUSE CHURCH STREET, ORMSKIRK, L39 3AG

Arnold & Phillips are pleased to bring to market this two-bedroom semi-detached home, set along the quiet and well-regarded Field Close in the heart of Burscough, West Lancs.

Well positioned for access to the village centre and its many amenities, this property presents a rare opportunity for those looking to add their own style and value to a home in a popular residential setting.

From the front, the house sits back from the road with a private driveway that easily accommodates several vehicles. The front garden is neatly maintained, offering a pleasant and welcoming approach to the property. The location of Field Close remains a key draw for buyers, with its peaceful, residential atmosphere just a short walk from local shops, cafes and public transport, including Burscough Bridge station offering direct rail links to Southport, Ormskirk and Manchester.

Once inside, the layout offers an immediately practical and well-balanced footprint. The main living room is positioned to the front and provides a generous amount of space, easily arranged around existing furniture and centred around a feature fireplace. It’s the kind of room that invites redecoration rather than reconfiguration, with good proportions and a layout that works well as it is. A connecting doorway leads through to the rear dining kitchen, which spans the width of the house and is laid out in an open-plan arrangement. While the kitchen units and finishes may now be ready for updating, the space itself offers clear potential—there’s enough room for a dining table and reconfiguring the cabinetry to suit more modern preferences would be a straightforward improvement.

Upstairs, the property continues to impress with two proper double bedrooms, both of which offer built-in storage. These are not cramped or compromised spaces; each has room for larger beds and furniture, with window placements that allow for flexibility in layout. The family bathroom completes the first-floor accommodation and is fitted with a bath and overhead shower, WC and wash basin. Again, while the décor might benefit from updating, the proportions are generous and functional.

To the rear, the garden is a genuine highlight. It's established, enclosed and offers a level of privacy that will appeal to many buyers. A flagged patio surrounds the rear elevation of the house, providing a practical space for seating or outdoor eating during the warmer months, while a large turfed lawn stretches beyond, bordered by timber fencing. There’s also useful space to the side of the house—an often overlooked area that could lend itself well to a future extension or garden storage, subject to the relevant planning permissions. The overall plot is generous and offers clear potential for those wanting to create more living space in the future.

Burscough as a location remains in strong demand, particularly with families, downsizers and professionals who appreciate the village’s mix of convenience and community. There’s a wide range of local amenities close by, including two supermarkets, independent shops, doctors, cafes and popular pubs. The area is well served by a choice of local schools, with both primary and secondary education available within easy reach. For commuters, Burscough is ideally placed with two train stations providing direct services across the region, while the A59 and M58 are within comfortable driving distance.

At approximately 800 square feet, this property offers a manageable footprint with bags of potential. Whether you're a first-time buyer looking to get onto the property ladder, someone searching for a home with scope to grow, or an investor seeking a straightforward project in a prime location, this property provides an ideal canvas. With gas central heating, double glazing and a well-kept plot, there’s plenty already in place—and with a considered programme of updates, the end result could be a highly attractive home tailored exactly to your needs.
