Extensive rear garden with paved patio and lawned areas
Large garage plus separate outbuilding; good storage/workshop space
Two large bedrooms with dressing areas; generous living/dining room
Single bathroom only (ground-floor) — no upstairs bathroom

Set back from the road in a quiet hamlet, this substantial two-bedroom semi-detached cottage pairs genuine period character with unusually large grounds. The generous living/dining room and two king-size bedrooms with dressing areas give a feeling of space rarely found in cottages. The extensive rear garden, large garage and separate outbuilding provide scope for hobbies, storage or future conversion (subject to permissions).
The house retains traditional stone walls and period features but shows its age: the property has an EPC rating of F, LPG-fired boiler and radiator heating, double glazing of unknown age and likely uninsulated stone walls. The single bathroom is on the ground floor and the layout and services will suit buyers prepared to update heating, insulation and finishes to modern standards.
This cottage will suit buyers seeking rural living with space to adapt — families wanting large outdoor areas, downsizers wanting generous rooms without multiple floors, or purchasers seeking renovation potential. Broadband is average but mobile signal is excellent. Practical benefits include a sizeable garage, outbuilding and a large lawned garden ideal for children, pets or vegetable plots. The location offers easy road links to Ormskirk and the M58 while retaining a quiet, village atmosphere.
