This three-bedroom semi-detached cottage sits in peaceful Bickerstaffe and offers a rare combination of character, space and a very large rear garden. The property’s traditional proportions and a rustic-style kitchen with high vaulted ceilings give it charm, while the layout has been adapted to suit modern family living. Off-street driveway parking and a private setting at the lane add practical convenience in a village location.
The accommodation includes a ground-floor bedroom and a separate dining room, useful for multigenerational households or flexible working arrangements. Upstairs are two double bedrooms with pleasant views and reasonable storage. There is a single family bathroom serving the house, which should be considered by buyers needing additional or en-suite facilities.
Externally the rear garden is a major asset — far larger than typical for a semi-detached home and offering scope for children’s play, extensive planting or further landscaping. The plot size and clear roofline also present potential for extension or modernization, subject to planning and building regulations. Internally some updating would allow new owners to personalise finishes and improve energy efficiency.
The village provides a quiet semi-rural lifestyle with good primary schools rated Good, local amenities and straightforward road links to Ormskirk, Rainford and the M58/M6 corridors. Broadband and mobile signal are average, and there is no flood risk. This home will suit families seeking outdoor space and village life, buyers wanting a project to modernise, or those needing a ground-floor bedroom without full bungalow living.
