Summary - 253H ORMSKIRK ROAD SKELMERSDALE WN8 9AH
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Affordable two-bed with garden, parking and scope to refresh in Skelmersdale.
Freehold two-bedroom semi-detached house, approx. 737 sq ft
A practical two-bedroom semi-detached home on Ormskirk Road offering straightforward living for first-time buyers or small families. The house sits on a small plot with off-street parking and a private, sizable rear garden — a rare combination for this price band. Internally the layout is conventional: reception room, separate kitchen, two double bedrooms and a single bathroom within about 737 sq ft. Double glazing (fitted after 2002), mains gas boiler and radiators provide reasonable running comfort.
The property is presented neutrally and will suit buyers looking to move in and personalise rather than expect a show-home finish. Construction dates from the 1950s–1960s mean character is modest but robust; filled cavity walls are typical of the period. Practical benefits include freehold tenure, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus very low council tax (Band A), which helps monthly affordability.
Buyers should note this area scores as deprived at an area level and the property is described as dated in places and likely to benefit from cosmetic updating or selective refurbishment. The accommodation is average-sized overall and the footprint (approx. 737 sq ft) means storage and expansion options are limited without significant alteration. Crime is reported as average for the locality.
If you want an affordable, well-located starter home with outside space and parking, this house offers solid potential. It’s best for purchasers prepared to refresh fixtures, surfaces and finishes to unlock more value, or investors seeking a lettable two-bed in a major conurbation with good transport links and local schools nearby.
