Southport Road, Lydiate, L31

Arnold and Phillips are delighted to offer for sale this beautifully presented three-bedroom semi-detached character property, a home that offers a blend of charm and practicality, set within private wraparound gardens and ideal for buyers seeking a thoughtful mix of traditional features with comfortable modern living.

Set back from the road behind mature hedging and well-established trees, the property enjoys a quiet sense of seclusion. A private driveway provides ample off-road parking and leads to the side entrance, with the surrounding garden space offering a glimpse of what’s to come — a well-maintained outdoor area that manages to feel open yet sheltered, ideal for anyone who appreciates a bit of peace and privacy without feeling cut off.

As you step inside, the house makes a solid first impression. Stepping through the front door, the kitchen/diner is located to the left and the living area is directly in front. The open plan living area offers generous proportions and a layout that’s both social and practical. There’s ample space here for larger furniture arrangements, which gives you the freedom to zone the space according to your needs — whether that’s a relaxed family seating area, a more formal sitting space, or even a reading corner. Traditional features such as stable doors, original flooring, or the log burning fire add depth and character.

The kitchen and dining area provide a more focused space for day-to-day living. The kitchen is arranged in a way that makes cooking and entertaining feel easy, with worktops and storage space laid out for efficient use. The adjacent dining area has room for a full family table, making it perfect for family meals and entertaining. There’s also a large utility room, which is always a bonus — it keeps laundry and storage out of sight and allows for extra workspace if needed.

The ground floor also includes a bedroom and a family bathroom, which is a helpful feature for buyers considering multi-generational living or who simply prefer the option of single-level accommodation. The bedroom here would make a good guest space, home office or snug, depending on how you live, and being close to the bathroom makes it flexible for all sorts of uses. The bathroom features a stand-alone bathtub with toilet and wash basin. Finished to a high standard and featuring contemporary tiles and feature radiator, this bathroom adds to the properties character and charm.

Upstairs, you’ll find two further bedrooms. The main bedroom benefits from its own en suite, which adds a layer of convenience and privacy — particularly handy for busy households. Both bedrooms offer enough room for proper bedroom furniture, and neither feel cramped or compromised by the roofline. The character of the property continues here too, with the kind of detailing and proportions that you don’t always find in newer builds or similar local properties.

Outside, the garden is a real strength of the property. The wraparound layout gives you options — there’s plenty of scope to create different areas depending on how you use the space. Whether that’s outdoor seating under the trees, space for a greenhouse or raised beds, or a lawned area for children to play, the garden has the size and shape to accommodate it. The hedging and established planting provide natural screening from the road, giving the garden a tucked-away feel while still being practical to maintain. There’s also a separate workshop — a great feature for those with hobbies, or simply as valuable extra storage space that doesn’t eat into the house itself. To the rear of the property, there is a private courtyard garden that allows for many uses.

In terms of location, the property is ideally placed for families and commuters alike. Local schools are within easy reach, as are a number of everyday amenities including shops, cafes and healthcare services. Transport links are also close by, with road connections that make it easy to access nearby towns or head further afield. The surrounding area offers a mix of residential quiet and community feel, with green spaces not too far away for weekend walks or afternoon outings.

Overall, this is a home that offers plenty of practical space across both floors, all while retaining the character and warmth that makes a house feel like the perfect family home. The balance of private outdoor space, interior flexibility and location make this an excellent choice for a range of buyers, particularly those looking to move straight into a property with scope to personalise over time.
