Tan House Lane, Parbold, WN8

Arnold and Phillips are delighted to bring to market the beautiful ‘Rock Villa’ a four-bedroom detached home, built in 1907 and set along one of Parbold’s most desirable and well-established addresses. Combining thoughtfully updated interiors whilst also maintaining some original features, this property has been comprehensively renovated throughout and offers a genuinely turnkey opportunity for any prospective buyer seeking a family home in a highly regarded village setting.

Set back from the road behind smart electric gates, the frontage provides a sense of privacy and presence without being overbearing. There’s a generous driveway with ample space for multiple vehicles, framed by neat borders and low-maintenance landscaping that adds to the overall curb appeal. The entrance to the home is welcoming and understated, leading into a central hallway that offers access to both sides of the ground floor, allowing the layout to flow naturally.

Upon entry to the left, the main lounge provides a comfortable yet refined space – large enough to configure in a number of ways depending on how you prefer to relax or entertain. The layout allows for both casual evenings and more formal gatherings, without ever feeling overdone. Across the hall, the second reception room is currently arranged as a playroom, though equally suited as a snug, home office, or even a more grown-up lounge depending on lifestyle needs. It’s a flexible space – one of those rooms you’ll find evolving with your household over the years.

The rear of the property is where the real sense of space comes into its own. A large, open-plan kitchen, dining, and family area has been designed with day-to-day functionality in mind but is also ideal for entertaining. The Matthew Marsden hand-painted bespoke kitchen features a large central island and quality contemporary units, paired with integrated appliances and durable surfaces that complement the modern styling, with the added benefit of under floor heating. There’s a clear sense that everything has been well thought through here – not just aesthetically, but in terms of practical flow. There’s a distinct family living zone that doesn’t encroach on the cooking space, and the dining area has plenty of room to accommodate a large table without feeling tight. Sliding doors at the rear help link this space to the garden, extending the usable living area during warmer months.

Tucked discreetly off the kitchen is a utility room, keeping laundry and storage neatly out of sight. The downstairs WC is positioned conveniently here too, ideal for busy households or visiting guests.

This property also benefits from a large garage, accessed from the front of the property as well as internally and suitable for vehicle parking.

Upstairs, all four bedrooms are generously proportioned, allowing for super king and double beds, wardrobes, and even desks where needed – there’s nothing boxy or compromised here. The master suite benefits from its own dressing room and three-piece en-suite shower room, offering that extra sense of privacy and comfort that many buyers are looking for. Bedroom two also features its own en-suite, making it ideal for an older child or regular guests. The remaining two bedrooms are well-sized and share access to a sleek, modern family bathroom finished with high-quality fittings and a neutral, clean-lined design.

The rear garden is fully enclosed, offering both security and peace of mind for families with young children or pets. It’s a manageable size – large enough to enjoy but not so large it becomes a chore. There’s a patio area that’s perfectly suited to outdoor meals or relaxing in the evening with a drink, and the layout allows for separate zones for children’s play equipment, a shed or even some light gardening without everything feeling cluttered. The garden also benefits from a heated summer house/office with its own electrical supply and a stunning covered BBQ area, perfect for summer.

Parbold itself is a consistently popular village, and it’s easy to see why. This home is just a short stroll from the centre, where you’ll find a collection of independent shops, cafes, and essential amenities. Parbold train station is within comfortable walking distance, offering direct links to Manchester and beyond, making this a great choice for commuters. There are excellent schools in the area – both primary and secondary – along with lovely local walks, canal-side routes, and open countryside, all of which contribute to the balanced lifestyle that attracts families to this part of West Lancashire.

This property stands out for the care and attention that’s gone into its presentation and layout. Any buyer came move straight in without having to worry about modernising any aspect of this home. It’s the kind of home you can grow into, make your own, and enjoy for years to come.
