Arnold and Phillips are pleased to offer for sale this well-presented two-bedroom terraced home, located in a convenient and established residential area of Skelmersdale. With a full-width ground floor layout that has been opened up and extended at the rear, this home presents a great opportunity for first-time buyers or anyone seeking a straightforward, low-maintenance property that’s ready to move into.
Set back slightly from the road, the house has a neat and manageable front yard, providing a private entrance that’s separate from the flow of the street. Off-road parking is available opposite the property as well as to the side of the row of homes, whilst not immediately outside the front door, it’s practical for daily use and adds to the appeal of the property, particularly for buyers looking for easy-to-manage living with no major compromises on accessibility.
Entering through the front door, you’re welcomed straight into the lounge. This space feels calm and uncluttered, thanks to the neutral decoration throughout. The room has been opened up to flow directly into the dining area, giving the ground floor a much more open and versatile feel than many homes of this style. It’s one continuous space, which makes it very easy to furnish and live in. Whether it’s having friends over or just relaxing on a quiet evening, the layout supports a comfortable lifestyle without awkward divisions or wasted corners.
To the rear of the property is the extended kitchen – a useful addition that really enhances the downstairs space. The kitchen has been set out with functionality in mind, offering a good run of base and wall units, room for appliances, and practical worktop space. There’s no fuss or wasted detail here – it’s a clean, neutral space that’s easy to adapt to your own preferences. The positioning of the kitchen at the back of the home also means it opens up the potential for stepping straight out into the rear garden – ideal in warmer months when you want to combine indoor and outdoor spaces without too much effort.
Heading upstairs, the home offers two well-proportioned bedrooms, each capable of fitting full-sized beds along with additional furniture such as wardrobes or desks. Again, the finish remains neutral, making it easy for new owners to personalise without needing to do any major work. The bathroom is a standout feature for a home of this type – including a bath with overhead shower, WC and wash hand basin. This level of bathroom provision is often overlooked in smaller homes, so it’s a real advantage, especially for households that might need flexible use of the space.
The rear garden is fully enclosed with a lawned area and patio, offering a private outdoor area that can be enjoyed without requiring extensive upkeep. There’s room for outdoor seating and enough space for a shed or storage if you need it. Being enclosed makes it a safe and secure area, whether for pets, children, or simply for unwinding with a bit of fresh air.
Situated in Skelmersdale, the property is well placed for access to local amenities. Nearby you’ll find a good range of supermarkets, schools, healthcare facilities and local shops. The area benefits from strong transport links, with easy access to the M58 motorway and bus services offering routes into Ormskirk, Wigan, and further afield. For commuters or those needing quick access to regional transport networks, the location works well. There are also local parks and green spaces nearby, making this a practical choice for buyers who want town convenience without feeling disconnected from outdoor recreation.
All in all, this is a solid, well-laid-out home with sensible updates and a modernised layout that works. It would make an ideal first step onto the property ladder or a smart investment for anyone looking for a home that’s ready to go with no complicated upkeep. The open plan downstairs, extended kitchen, generous bathroom, and low-maintenance garden all combine to create a property that feels practical, liveable, and welcoming from day one.
