1950s detached home with large garden and extension potential.
Individually designed detached home on a large, mature plot
An individually designed 1956 detached family home set on a generous plot in Lostock, offered chain free for the first time since construction. The house sits well back from Chorley New Road with mature front and rear gardens, a long private driveway and an attached tandem garage with power and light — ideal for family parking and storage.
The interior provides three bedrooms, two reception rooms and a compact fitted kitchen, with character details such as a bay window, tiled fireplace surrounds and exposed brickwork. The rear lounge/dining room opens to the garden, creating a flexible day-to-day living space with scope for modernising to suit a growing family.
A major value driver is the clear potential to extend to the side and rear (subject to planning permission), enabling larger ground-floor living or added bedrooms for long-term family use. Practical benefits include easy access to the M61, Horwich Parkway station, good local schools and nearby Rivington Country Park for outdoor pursuits.
Buyers should note the property is leasehold with a nominal ground rent of £3.66 per year; the remaining lease term is not stated and should be checked. The home has only one bathroom (two-piece suite plus separate WC) and, while well cared for, will benefit from updating and possible reconfiguration to suit modern family needs and any planned extension.
