Set within circa 6.43 acres of private land in the desirable Heskin countryside, this detached true bungalow offers an unusually rare combination of immediate accommodation and genuine development or equestrian potential. The single-storey layout provides roughly 1,723 sq ft, including versatile reception rooms and three double bedrooms, plus an additional room suitable as a fourth bedroom or sitting room. The site benefits from a south‑westerly aspect, long driveway parking and direct independent access from the adjacent road.
The house is in need of full renovation and modernisation. Key fabric notes include cavity walls assumed without added insulation and double glazing of unknown age; the property retains traditional features from its 1930s–1940s construction but will require investment to bring heating, electrics and finishes up to contemporary standards. There is only one bathroom and a separate WC, which may be limiting for larger households without alteration.
For buyers with vision — developers, equestrian users or those seeking a private countryside family home — the plot presents significant options, subject to planning and necessary consents. The location combines tranquillity and excellent commuter links: nearby A-roads and motorways give access across the North-West, while local villages provide shops, eateries and good primary and secondary schools.
Important practical points: the tenure is freehold and the sale is offered with no onward chain, but council tax sits at a higher band. Prospective purchasers should allow for renovation costs, investigate planning possibilities, and commission surveys to confirm structural and services condition.
