Rowan Lane, Skelmersdale, WN8

Arnold and Phillips are delighted to bring to market this substantial five-bedroom detached home, ideally positioned along the ever-popular Rowan Lane in Skelmersdale, West Lancs.

Tucked away within an established and well-regarded residential development, this generously proportioned family home offers the rare combination of space, versatility and privacy, all while enjoying convenient access to local amenities and excellent transport connections. For buyers looking for a long-term home that can adapt to changing needs, this is a property well worth considering.

Set back from the road behind a neat private driveway, the property makes a strong first impression. A detached double garage sits comfortably to the side, with off-road parking available for multiple vehicles. The home itself is positioned on a large and private plot, with the real advantage of backing onto mature parkland — a peaceful green outlook that enhances the sense of space and seclusion, and one that few neighbouring properties can match.

Upon entering, you're welcomed by a broad and inviting hallway that gives an immediate sense of the generous proportions on offer. The ground floor is arranged around three separate living areas, offering a flexible layout that can easily accommodate the routines of busy family life. Whether you're hosting, relaxing, or simply seeking quiet space to unwind, each room offers something different in terms of layout and function. The decor throughout is neutral and well-kept, giving buyers the freedom to move straight in and update gradually to taste.

To the rear of the property sits the open-plan dining kitchen — a sociable and functional space designed to bring family and guests together. There’s a good selection of wall, base and tower units for storage, as well as integrated appliances that help keep surfaces clear and the layout practical. The dining area comfortably fits a large table and sits adjacent to the garden, with easy access for outdoor meals or children playing within sight. A further utility area or secondary storage zone could be introduced here if desired, as there's space to play with and reconfigure if required.

Upstairs on the first floor, there are three well-sized double bedrooms. All are neutrally decorated and include built-in wardrobe space, making them practical from day one. The principal bedroom is especially generous, with a dedicated dressing area and a private en-suite bathroom. It’s the kind of suite that allows for a quiet start to the day or a relaxing end to the evening. The two additional bedrooms on this floor are positioned to make the most of the surrounding views and are equally well-suited for family members or guests.

The top floor brings another two double bedrooms into the mix, making this home ideal for larger families, or for those who need multiple guest rooms, hobby spaces or remote work setups. Centrally positioned between the two is a walk-in wardrobe, but its footprint offers easy potential to create a third bathroom, home office or further dressing space if desired. The second-floor benefits from a quieter position in the house and could easily serve teenagers or long-stay visitors who’d enjoy a little more privacy.

Without question, one of the stand-out features of this property is the rear garden. Backing directly onto protected parkland and with its own private access, the garden feels like an extension of the landscape behind it — mature, private and beautifully laid out. The current owners have clearly invested time and care into the garden’s design, with several lawned areas bordered by planting beds, shrubs and mature trees that add colour and structure throughout the seasons. Multiple patio terraces offer a choice of places to sit, entertain or enjoy an evening meal outdoors. There's ample room here to extend the property if needed, or to add a garden room, summer house or even a greenhouse, subject to the usual consents.

Rowan Lane itself is part of a quiet and well-maintained development that remains popular with families, professionals and those looking to upsize without compromising on location. The local area provides a good mix of everyday conveniences — supermarkets, schools, healthcare and leisure facilities are all within easy reach. For commuters, the M58 and M6 motorways are just a short drive away, putting Liverpool, Preston and Manchester all within comfortable reach. Train links from nearby Upholland or Orrell stations offer further connectivity for those needing access into the city.

With gas central heating, double glazing and over 2,600 square feet of accommodation, this is a home that offers space not just now, but for the years ahead. While some cosmetic updating may be desirable in parts, the layout and location speak for themselves — this is a substantial family home with strong potential to evolve and grow with its owners. Properties in this location, with this level of garden privacy and internal flexibility, don’t come up often. Early inspection is highly recommended to fully appreciate what’s on offer here.
