Tucked at the end of a private lane of just four homes, this substantial four-bedroom detached house offers an attractive mix of modernised living and clear potential for further development. The property’s bright, open-plan kitchen-diner-snug with island and bifold doors creates a sociable ground-floor hub, while two newly fitted bathrooms (one ensuite) add contemporary convenience. Off-street parking for three cars and a large, landscaped garden with multiple patios extend the living space outdoors.
The plot includes an insulated studio/garden office and a converted covered garden room — flexible spaces ideal for home working, a gym, or entertaining year-round. There is also scope to extend or convert the loft (full head height) subject to planning and building regulations, offering a route to add value in line with neighbouring homes that have been substantially upgraded.
Buyers should note practical drawbacks: broadband speeds are slow, council tax is described as quite expensive, and any structural alterations or extensions will require planning/building-regs consent. The house dates from the mid-20th century, so there may be typical maintenance or upgrade items to consider despite recent modernisation.
This home suits families seeking a peaceful, well-connected base: Lostock train station is a three-minute walk, schools in the area include outstanding and highly regarded options, and major road links (M61) and retail destinations are within easy reach. For buyers looking to add value, the loft and potential extension present realistic opportunities in a prestigious street setting.
