Property description

Just one glance at this substantial period detached residence and one cannot fail to be impressed by the elegance and grandeur which its handsome and characterful facade exudes. This striking home certainly integrates seamlessly with its salubrious surroundings, occupying a most imposing position within this exclusive location, one of the finest addresses in the area. The thriving village of Standish has demonstrated itself to be a consistent attraction to prospective buyers, its strong sense of community, and all that it is able to offer its inhabitants, being a particularly strong pull for those looking for a location to raise their family.

At its heart, the beautiful Parish Church of St. Wilfrid, the only Grade I listed building within Wigan, as well as other delightful landmarks such as a late medieval cross and stone stocks in the market place, whilst the bustling village centre provides a host of local shops and amenities, including a post office, two banks and three supermarkets. When one is craving something more vibrant still, Wigan town centre is only a short distance away with its diverse range of high street stores, trendy bars and eclectic eateries, which will be perfect for those who enjoy a hectic social calendar. The area boasts a number of highly regarded schools at both primary and secondary level, whilst the older members of the family are also well catered for, with close proximity to the M6 motorway ensuring major commercial centres such as Manchester, Liverpool and Preston are within a reasonable commute.

The property itself offers in excess of 3,045 square feet of living accommodation arranged over two inviting levels, and with an expansive floor plan which features four separate reception rooms, including the vast 31’ games room, which would make a fabulously grand sitting room, complete with its gorgeous dual aspect windows, parquet flooring and open solid fuel fire place; and an equally spacious 33’ open plan breakfast kitchen/family room, which provides the quintessential hub of the home, and a wonderfully sociable space in which all the family can gather together, which is just what is required from modern day living. In its entirety, the sizeable accommodation briefly comprises of entrance porch, reception hallway with beautiful Oak spindled staircase, lounge, games room, study, snug, open plan breakfast kitchen/family room, utility room, cloakroom/WC, first floor galleried landing, four bedrooms, with the master bedroom and bedroom two having individual en-suite facilities, and a family bathroom with separate WC.

Externally, the property occupies a most generous plot, with a low maintenance frontage proving off-road parking facilities for a number of vehicles, as well as giving access to the attached garage 26’5” x 16’ which holds secure parking for four vehicles, whilst the substantial rear garden is mainly laid to lawn, and well screened by mature trees, which afford an excellent degree of privacy. The large York stone flagged patio area completes the marvellous outside space, and will provide an excellent spot for those with a penchant for al-fresco dining, or perhaps those frequent family barbeques when the weather allows. We would strongly recommend an internal inspection of this generously proportioned home, to appreciate the size of the accommodation on offer.
