Summary - 4 4 Rabbit Lane, Burscough, Ormskirk, L40 8JJ L40 8JJ
4 bed 1 bath Detached
Generous plot, character interiors and scope to modernise for family living.
Four double bedrooms plus attic with conversion potential
Set back along a private lane, this substantial four-bedroom Georgian farmhouse occupies a very large plot and offers true rural living close to Burscough. Beautiful period features — fireplaces, high ceilings and exposed beams in the attic — give the house strong character while generous reception rooms and large windows provide bright, flexible family living. There is an attached garage, cellar, outhouse and ample private driveway parking; additional land is available to purchase separately.
The accommodation is traditional in layout and will suit buyers who value heritage and space but are comfortable carrying out modernisation. The kitchen centres on an oil-fired AGA and the utility offers scope for adding a downstairs WC. Upstairs are four well-proportioned bedrooms and a large bathroom; the third-floor attic is a high-ceiling, walk-in space with excellent potential for conversion (subject to consents).
Externally the gardens wrap around the house with lawned and wooded areas, mature fruit trees and fenced garden rooms that offer privacy and productive planting. The property is on a private driveway off a quiet lane, with excellent mobile and ultrafast broadband availability — a useful combination for rural working. Heating is oil-fired and the house uses private drainage, so buyers should allow for ongoing running and maintenance costs.
This home is offered freehold with no upward chain and will particularly appeal to families or buyers seeking a rural period home with scope to improve energy performance and modern living. A sympathetic programme of refurbishment could unlock significant further value, but practical works and modernisation will be required in places.
