Arnold & Phillips are delighted to bring to market this substantial five-bedroom detached family home, positioned proudly along the highly regarded Miles Lane in Shevington.
Standing within a generous private plot and enjoying open countryside views to the rear, this is a property that has been thoughtfully designed and carefully finished, providing modern convenience alongside the sense of space and calm that comes with such a setting.
The approach to the property is as practical as it is appealing, with a private driveway capable of accommodating several vehicles, together with a detached double garage that ensures both parking and storage are well catered for. The frontage is neat and well maintained, giving an early indication of the care and quality that runs throughout the home. Its double-fronted design gives balance and presence, while the position of the house within the plot allows both front and rear gardens to be enjoyed and properly appreciated.
Stepping inside, the entrance hall makes a strong first impression. The use of oak and glass in the central staircase immediately sets a contemporary tone and gives the hallway a sense of openness, making it more than just a route through the house. From here, the layout unfolds with a natural flow, providing no less than six distinct living spaces on the ground floor, each one offering its own function yet working cohesively together.
At the front, two spacious reception rooms provide versatile areas that could serve equally well as formal sitting rooms, a playroom, a study or perhaps a snug, depending on the needs of the family. To the rear, the main living room offers a larger space, positioned to make the most of the garden aspect and connecting well with the rest of the ground floor. Centrally, there is a separate dining room which provides a more formal option for entertaining, while an adjoining conservatory brings a different dynamic, offering a relaxed area that bridges the inside with the outdoors.
The real heart of the home, however, is the open-plan dining kitchen. This space has clearly been designed with everyday life in mind, combining a practical fitted kitchen with a sociable living and dining area. A full range of wall, base and tower units provide ample storage, while integrated appliances and contrasting worktops add to the sense of style. The proportions of the room ensure that there is plenty of space for family gatherings or casual meals, and it is easy to imagine this area being the hub where much of day-to-day life takes place.
Upstairs, the sense of space continues with five generously sized double bedrooms, each neutrally decorated and finished to a high standard. The main bedroom is particularly impressive, benefitting from its own en-suite bathroom that includes a freestanding bath, separate shower, WC and his and hers vanity sinks – features that underline the thought given to both design and practicality. A second bedroom also enjoys the convenience of its own en-suite, making it an ideal choice for older children, guests, or extended family. Of particular note are the two rear-facing bedrooms, both of which open out onto contemporary balconies that look across farmland to the rear – a rare and desirable feature that adds an extra dimension to the property.
The family bathroom, like the en-suites, has been completed to a modern specification, with stylish tiling and fittings that provide a clean and polished finish. The layout upstairs works well, providing space and privacy for each member of the household, as well as flexibility for use as home offices or hobby rooms if required.
Externally, the rear garden is both large and private, making it an attractive complement to the internal accommodation. A broad flagged terrace runs around the rear of the property, creating a natural place for outdoor seating, dining or gatherings. Beyond, a central lawn is edged with well-planted borders and sections of composite decking, ensuring that the garden is both appealing and easy to manage. The open aspect views to the rear are a standout feature, giving a sense of rural space while still being close to village amenities.
Shevington itself is a sought-after area, known for its strong sense of community and excellent local facilities. There are well-regarded primary and secondary schools nearby, together with a selection of shops, cafes and services that cater for everyday needs. Larger retail and leisure opportunities can be found in Wigan, just a short drive away, while commuters will appreciate the straightforward access to the M6 motorway and nearby rail services, placing major towns and cities within easy reach. For those who enjoy the outdoors, the surrounding countryside offers a variety of walking and cycling routes, while the village’s own amenities provide convenience close to hand.
In total, this home extends to over 3,200 square feet, with gas central heating, double glazing and a modern, versatile design that will appeal to a wide range of buyers. It is a rare combination of size, practicality and setting, offering a lifestyle that many families will find hard to match. Viewing is strongly encouraged to fully appreciate what this home has to offer.
