Summary - 23 Wood Moss Lane, Scarisbrick L40 9RJ
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Spacious plot and renovator potential near Ormskirk.
Guide price £275,000; reserve price £280,000, sold at auction
This three-bedroom semi-detached house on Wood Moss Lane is offered for sale by auction with a guide price of £275,000 and a reserve of £280,000. Set on an exceptionally large 0.94-acre plot, the property is freehold and presents strong potential for buyers who can carry out renovation and landscaping to unlock substantial value. The house dates from c.1930–1949 and retains period character alongside standard ceiling heights and double glazing of unknown install date.
Internally the layout includes two reception rooms, a kitchen and a single bathroom across approximately 874 sq ft. The home needs comprehensive modernisation — cosmetic and likely mechanical upgrades are required — so it will suit buyers prepared to refurbish. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators; walls are filled cavity construction. There is driveway parking and a sun-catching rear garden that could be transformed into a private outdoor space or further developed, subject to planning.
Buyers should note this is an auction sale with specific fees and terms: a 10% non-refundable deposit on exchange and a Buyer’s Fee of 4% plus VAT (minimum £4,000 plus VAT) payable on completion. Practical considerations include no mobile signal on site and only average broadband speeds, which may affect remote-working needs. Flood risk and local crime are low, and the property sits in a rural hamlet setting close to Ormskirk amenities and a mix of state and independent schools.
This property is best suited to investors, experienced renovators or buyers seeking a countryside project with a large plot. It offers a blank canvas for those willing to take on a full refurbishment and who value outdoor space and rural living close to town facilities.
