Rowan Lane, Skelmersdale, WN8

Arnold and Phillips are delighted to bring to market this substantial and thoughtfully modernised five-bedroom detached home, offering generous and adaptable living across three well-planned storeys. Set on a large plot and benefiting from a standout rear garden with a raised patio and an outhouse gym, this property presents an ideal blend of contemporary design and family-oriented practicality.

Approaching the property, you're met with a clean, well-kept frontage that sets the tone for what lies beyond. The driveway provides ample space for multiple vehicles, while the frontage itself has been kept neat and functional – a welcome first impression for guests or an everyday convenience for family life. A sheltered porch brings you into the home and opens into a spacious, light entrance hall. From the moment you step inside, there’s a sense of openness and clarity in the layout, where each room leads off intuitively and has clearly been designed with ease of living in mind.

Immediately to your right is the lounge, a comfortable and sizeable room that can easily accommodate the needs of a growing family or relaxed entertaining. Whether you're imagining quiet evenings in or larger gatherings with friends, the lounge serves as a flexible space that adapts as life does. Neutral décor and a clear layout make it easy to picture your own furnishings fitting in here, while the connection to the entrance hall keeps the flow of the ground floor uninterrupted.

To the rear of the property is the kitchen and dining area, forming a clear hub of the house. Modern in finish but practical in its design, this space has been arranged for both everyday cooking and sociable mealtimes. There’s plenty of worktop space and enough room to incorporate a central dining table comfortably, giving the area a feeling of togetherness without feeling cramped. The garden is accessed directly from this room, making outdoor eating and weekend barbecues an easy, stress-free option during the warmer months.

Also on the ground floor, you'll find a WC and a separate utility room, keeping laundry and household storage tucked neatly out of the way. These features often go overlooked in property searches, but they add considerable value in daily life – giving you functionality without sacrificing style or space elsewhere in the home. The large double garage is access from the utility and can easily accommodate a vehicle.

The first-floor houses three of the five bedrooms, including the master suite. This main bedroom offers a peaceful retreat from the rest of the house and benefits from its own en-suite bathroom and a separate dressing room – ideal for keeping things tidy and maintaining a sense of calm. The other two bedrooms on this floor are well-proportioned and could suit younger children, guests, or even a dedicated office if required. The family bathroom serves this level, fitted with contemporary fixtures and laid out in a way that keeps it efficient without feeling cramped.

Upstairs again, the second floor contains two further bedrooms. These top-floor rooms offer excellent flexibility, whether used as bedrooms, a home office setup, or even as a hobby or gaming space for older children who want a bit more independence. Their positioning on the top floor also means they benefit from a bit of extra quiet and separation from the busier areas below.

One of the standout features of this home is the garden. The raised patio is a real asset – offering a level area ideal for outdoor furniture and relaxed evenings spent outdoors. The size of the plot is fantastic, giving children plenty of space to run around, or keen gardeners room to make it their own. The outhouse, currently used as a gym, is a bonus space that could serve a number of different uses – whether that’s continuing as a fitness area, converting to a home office, studio or even a separate recreational room. The home further benefits from a double garage, solar panels and an electric charge point.

The location adds further value. Situated in a well-regarded residential area, the property enjoys proximity to local schools, shops, and everyday amenities. Transport links are typically strong in areas like this, and if you're commuting or just need straightforward access to surrounding towns or motorways, you'll find it easy enough to get where you need to go. The presence of good schooling nearby also makes this an attractive choice for families looking for a home they can grow into.

Overall, this is a well-appointed, modern family home that balances thoughtful upgrades with practical living. Every element has been carefully considered, from the day-to-day conveniences inside to the versatile outdoor spaces that add real lifestyle value.
