Property description

Discreetly hidden away amidst its delightful country backdrop and affording an excellent degree of privacy, this substantial detached residence sits proudly within a large private plot of circa one acre, within the beautiful parish of Wrightington, an area as renowned for its blend of prestige country homes, as its picturesque West Lancashire countryside. However, despite its country credentials, the property is far from remote, with ease of access to the abundance of local shops and amenities within the neighbouring villages of Shevington and Standish, as well as ease of access to the M6 motorway, ensuring the commuter can enjoy convenient travel throughout the North-West and then retire to their rural retreat after a stressful day in the office, perhaps partaking in a relaxing walk with the family over the adjoining countryside.

This striking home certainly integrates seamlessly with its salubrious surroundings, occupying a most imposing position within this exclusive location, whilst the feeling of scale is mirrored internally, with few homes able to compete with the expansive floor plan and grandly proportioned living spaces which afford in excess of 4,400 square feet of accommodation arranged over two floors, and including a detached double garage, measuring circa 892 square feet, and incorporating a self-contained annex with kitchenette and three piece shower room, which would be ideal for those with an older child or relative who requires some independence, or indeed a wonderfully flexible space which could be utilised for a plethora of purposes, including a gymnasium, games room or perhaps a work space for those requiring a base to work from home. The main residence is ideally suited to the needs of the growing family, with plentiful living spaces and bathrooms, which even the largest of families would struggle to outgrow. The vast 27’ lounge provides direct access to the rear garden, as well as beautiful views of the surrounding countryside, and a fabulously sociable space for all generations to gather together or when one is entertaining friends, moving through into the gorgeous 17’ dining room for those intimate dinner parties, which is bathed in natural light via the large bay window, and again with double doors into the gardens, through which one could retire for an after-dinner cocktail or two. More informal dining can be accommodated in the 17’ breakfast kitchen, which incorporates a breakfast bar for those swift bites to eat before the school run, and is fitted with an extensive range of Oak wall and base units with contrasting granite work surfaces, and features a host of integrated appliances, including high level electric oven, halogen hob with extractor canopy, microwave, fridge/freezer and dishwasher, whilst there is also a handy separate utility room to keep the washing out of view of unexpected visitors. 

To the first floor, five generous double bedrooms will be revealed, as well as three bathrooms, one of which is a five piece en-suite to the  super 16’ master bedroom, complete with balcony and comprising of his and hers vanity wash hand basins, WC, panelled bath and separate shower cubicle. In its entirety, the accommodation briefly comprises: Entrance porch, reception hallway, cloakroom/WC, lounge, dining room, snug, music room, study, breakfast kitchen, utility room, first floor landing/study area, five bedrooms, en-suite bathroom to master suite, and two four piece family bathrooms. 

Externally, the substantial plot ensures the property is situated well back from the main road and approached by a lengthy driveway, which provides off-road parking facilities for a number of vehicles, as well as access to the double garage. The beautiful gardens to the front and rear are immaculately maintained, the rear being mainly laid to lawn and adjoining open countryside, affording stunning views, whilst there are a number of stone flagged patio areas, ensuring one is never short of a space in which to enjoy a relaxing glass of wine after a tough day in the office, or perhaps an impromptu barbeque, when the weather allows. The front garden is low maintenance, but no less delightful, with mature trees and well stocked borders and oozing a real park-like quality, with its mixture of slate and stone pathways, and a further stone flagged seating area. This individual property simply must be viewed to appreciate the size of the accommodation and picturesque location.
