Hawthorn Avenue, Burscough, L40

Arnold and Phillips are delighted to bring to market this well-positioned four-bedroom detached family home, occupying a prominent corner plot within the sought-after Heathfields development in Burscough, West Lancs.

Set within walking distance of the village centre and offering an excellent blend of internal space and external appeal, this substantial property would suit growing families and professional buyers looking for a well-connected, long-term home.

Approaching the property, there’s an immediate sense of space and privacy thanks to the generous frontage and mature gardens that wrap neatly around the house. A private driveway provides off-road parking for multiple vehicles and leads to a double garage — ideal for secure storage or future conversion if required. The positioning on the corner allows for a broader garden than typically found on standard plots, giving a greater sense of openness and offering flexibility for those considering extension or landscaping works down the line.

Stepping inside, the ground floor accommodation is both practical and generous in scale, with three distinct reception areas allowing for separation of functions without feeling compartmentalised. The main living room is notably spacious, extending across the length of the property and featuring a classic bay window to the front along with patio doors to the rear, providing a comfortable flow through to the garden. A central fireplace adds a focal point without dominating the room and offers the option for a log burner or feature fire, should the next owners wish to introduce one.

Adjacent to the lounge, the formal dining room is comfortably sized to accommodate a large table and is positioned next to what is currently used as a home office. Together, these two rooms offer clear potential for reconfiguration — many neighbouring properties have chosen to remove the dividing wall to create an expansive open-plan kitchen, dining and family room that makes better use of the garden-facing aspect. With the existing kitchen positioned at the side of the property, it would be relatively straightforward to relocate and rework the layout, allowing for a far more modern, centralised hub of the home. The existing kitchen is in good working order, fitted with a range of wall, base and tower units, integrated appliances and contrasting worktops. While the current finish is traditional, it’s a blank canvas for buyers wanting to inject their own style and is certainly functional as-is. A useful utility room sits just off the kitchen, with side access to the garden and a downstairs WC completing the ground floor layout.

Upstairs, the accommodation continues to impress, with four well-sized bedrooms arranged around a spacious landing. Three of the bedrooms are comfortably double in size, with the main bedroom benefiting from fitted wardrobes and its own en-suite shower room, ideal for day-to-day convenience. The fourth bedroom would function well as a nursery, dressing room or home office, depending on personal requirements. A clean and modern family bathroom serves the remaining rooms and includes a bath, WC and wash hand basin, finished in a neutral tiled design.

To the rear, the garden is both private and manageable, not directly overlooked and designed with low maintenance in mind. A paved patio terrace runs across the back of the house, offering ample room for outdoor seating and dining furniture, while the lawn provides an enclosed area for children or pets to enjoy. The garden is bordered by painted timber fencing and a range of established planting that adds interest without requiring too much upkeep.

The location is another key strength. Hawthorn Avenue is a quiet residential road within the well-regarded Heathfields development — popular with families thanks to its peaceful surroundings and proximity to local schools, shops and everyday essentials. Burscough village centre is a short walk away and provides a strong range of amenities including supermarkets, cafes, pubs and independent retailers. The nearby Burscough Bridge and Burscough Junction train stations offer regular services to both Liverpool and Manchester, making this an ideal base for commuters. Green spaces and countryside walks are within easy reach, as are well-rated local schools, including both primary and secondary options.

At just over 1,600 square feet, with gas central heating, full double glazing and the rare benefit of an attractive corner plot with double garage, this is a well-rounded family home with real potential to personalise and modernise to suit. For buyers looking to settle into a well-regarded area with room to grow, this home offers a compelling opportunity. Internal viewing is highly recommended to appreciate both the space on offer and the possibilities available.
