Summary - GORSEY BANK RAINFORD ROAD BICKERSTAFFE ORMSKIRK L39 0HF
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Spacious five-bedroom home with outbuildings and extensive parking.
Private one-acre plot with mature gardens and large patio
Gorsey Bank Cottage is a substantial five-bedroom detached farmhouse set within a private one-acre plot on Rainford Road, Bickerstaffe. Dating from 1736, the house combines period character — exposed beams, timber doors and open hearths — with flexible modern living across approximately 3,694 sq ft. The property sits at the end of a private lane and includes extensive off‑road parking and two large outbuildings exceeding 1,200 sq ft in total.
Internally the ground floor offers five reception rooms, a spacious dining kitchen with integrated appliances and a useful utility and cloakroom. One ground-floor room is currently used as a bedroom, adding accessibility for multigenerational use or guests. Upstairs there are four double bedrooms plus a smaller room suitable as an office or dressing room; the principal bedroom includes a dressing area and en‑suite. The layout suits a family wanting separate living spaces, someone needing home business space, or an equestrian/enthusiast seeking storage and workshop potential.
The gardens are very well maintained with extensive lawns, mature trees, a large patio and a bespoke skate park on hardstanding (removable by agreement). Two substantial outbuildings provide secure vehicle storage and scope for conversion subject to necessary planning and building consents. The setting is tranquil and rural, yet within reach of local schools, amenities in Ormskirk and access to the M58/M6 for commuters.
Notable practical points: the home is heated by an oil-fired boiler (oil not on a community supply) and the property currently has an EPC rating of E. Broadband speeds in the area are very slow. Council tax is above average. These factors are important for buyers relying on fast internet, lower-running-cost heating, or strict energy-efficiency requirements.
