Derby Road, Skelmersdale, WN8

NO CHAIN DELAY!

Arnold and Phillips are pleased to offer this well-maintained and deceptively spacious two-bedroom terraced home, ideally located in a popular residential part of Skelmersdale. With a thoughtful extension that adds practical space and versatility, this home offers an excellent opportunity for a wide range of buyers — whether you're stepping onto the property ladder, looking for a manageable downsizing option, or seeking a solid addition to an investment portfolio.

Set back slightly from the road, the property offers a traditional frontage with a modest approach and a welcoming entrance porch, which helps to separate the living space from the front door — a detail often missed in properties of this style but one that makes a notable difference in day-to-day use. It’s a good place to hang coats, store shoes, or simply create a more defined sense of arrival as you step into the home.

To the front of the property, the living room is comfortable and well-sized, accommodating a range of layouts whether you prefer a more casual arrangement or something with a bit more structure. The room flows naturally into the dining area, which is situated towards the rear — this layout works well for entertaining or everyday family life, keeping spaces connected while still giving each its own feel. There’s room for a full-sized dining table and additional storage or display units if needed.

At the back of the property, the kitchen has been extended to create a more generous working space. It’s practical and functional, with cabinetry along two sides and space for freestanding appliances. The placement of the kitchen also makes it easy to access the rear yard — great for bringing in shopping or simply stepping out for a bit of fresh air. Just beyond the kitchen is the family bathroom, a useful inclusion that adds flexibility, especially for guests or households with varying accessibility needs. The bathroom itself is neatly presented and doesn’t intrude on the rest of the downstairs layout, which keeps the flow of the home feeling natural.

Upstairs, the two main bedrooms are both generous in size. Each has enough space for a double bed and full sets of furniture without feeling tight, and the proportions would suit a variety of needs — from shared households to working from home or accommodating growing children. The main bedroom also features pull-down loft stairs, offering easy access to the loft room above. Currently used as an additional bedroom, this space benefits from a skylight and some fitted storage, making it a genuinely usable area. Whether it’s kept as a sleeping space, turned into a home office, hobby room or simply used for extra storage, it’s a versatile bonus that adds meaningful value to the property.

Outside, the rear yard is low-maintenance and private, with enough space to enjoy a quiet sit out or add some planting for those who want a splash of greenery without a full garden to maintain. There's also the potential to create a small seating area or bike storage, depending on lifestyle needs. It’s a manageable outdoor space that doesn’t require a lot of upkeep, which will suit many buyers looking for convenience alongside practicality. To the rear of the garden a gate provides access to the field beyond, ideal for dog owners and families with young children.

The property is situated within an established residential area of Skelmersdale that offers easy access to local amenities. Shops, supermarkets and schools are all within a short distance, and there are green spaces and walking routes nearby that provide options for outdoor activity. Public transport links are accessible, with bus routes running regularly through the area, and road connections including the M58 are easily reached, making it a convenient base for commuting into surrounding towns or cities such as Ormskirk, Wigan or Liverpool.

In all, this is a home that’s ready to move into, with just the right amount of character and flexibility to suit a range of living situations. It’s a well-balanced property that delivers on space, condition and location, making it an ideal choice for those looking to settle into a comfortable and practical home with the opportunity to personalise over time if desired.
