Yew Tree Road, Ormskirk, L39

Arnold and Phillips are delighted to offer for sale this substantial five-bedroom semi-detached home, set on a private plot along the ever-desirable Yew Tree Road, right in the heart of Ormskirk, West Lancs.

Well-positioned within walking distance of the town centre, schools, and key transport links, this versatile family property presents an excellent opportunity for those seeking space, flexibility and convenience in a well-regarded residential location.

Set back from the road and enjoying off-road parking for multiple vehicles, the home occupies a generous plot that immediately sets it apart. The frontage has a wide, welcoming feel, and while the property already offers a generous footprint, the layout and surrounding space suggest further potential should any buyer wish to extend or adapt in future. It’s a home that clearly has longevity, catering easily to the needs of growing families or those requiring extra space for working from home or multigenerational living.

Stepping inside, the entrance hall sets the tone with a straightforward layout that gives easy access to the main reception spaces. At the front of the property, the bay-fronted living room provides a generously sized area for everyday use. The proportions of this room are particularly noteworthy – there’s more than enough room for a full suite of seating and additional furnishings, without any sense of compromise. Just off the hall is a handy ground floor WC, a useful feature that adds to the property’s practicality, especially for visiting guests or larger households.

Beyond the main lounge, an additional sitting room offers a quiet secondary living space and leads through into a connected dining room. Together, these rooms provide excellent flexibility – whether used as formal dining, a playroom, or just a quieter retreat – with each one accessible and functional in its own right. The flow between them creates options for adapting the layout to suit different family arrangements, and it’s easy to imagine these spaces being used in various ways as needs evolve over time.

The kitchen sits to the rear of the home and has been updated to offer a sleek, modern design. A good range of wall, base, and tower units provide plenty of storage, with contrasting work surfaces and feature breakfast bar adding a contemporary edge. Integrated appliances are already in place, making the kitchen ready for immediate use, and there's still space left for informal dining or a breakfast area if desired. From a practical standpoint, the layout works well as it is, but it would also lend itself to further development, with potential to open through into the rear rooms and create a more open-plan kitchen/dining/living arrangement in future, subject to requirements.

The first floor continues the sense of space with five well-sized bedrooms laid out from the landing, four of which are double rooms, each comfortably accommodating beds and additional furniture. All are finished in neutral tones, providing a blank canvas for new owners to personalise. Serving these rooms is a modern family bathroom, fitted with a bath and overhead shower, while a separate WC next door helps with the morning routine by adding extra functionality to the space.

Outside, the private rear garden offers a good mix of useable space and mature planting. A generous flagged patio wraps around the rear of the house, providing ample room for outdoor seating, barbecues or relaxed weekend meals during warmer months. The garden is not directly overlooked, which is a real asset for those valuing privacy, and it feels enclosed and secure while still open enough to feel connected to the outdoors. To the rear of the garden, a detached brick-built garden room adds a valuable bonus space. Whether used as a home office, personal gym, or studio, this room provides genuine extra square footage without impacting the flow of the main house. Beyond that, a turfed lawn runs the width of the garden, bordered by mature trees, shrubs, and established planting, creating a green and settled outlook that complements the home’s family-friendly appeal.

Yew Tree Road itself is a consistently popular address, known locally for its established homes and easy access to Ormskirk town centre. From the doorstep, residents benefit from a short walk to a range of local amenities, including supermarkets, independent retailers, cafés, and essential services. The area is particularly well served by schools, with both primary and secondary options nearby. For commuters, Ormskirk train station provides direct links to Liverpool and Preston, while road connections place the M58 and A59 within easy reach. Green spaces, leisure facilities, and parks are all accessible in the surrounding area, offering an excellent balance of convenience and lifestyle.

This is a home that delivers both in terms of size and setting. With flexible living spaces, five bedrooms, and a large private garden with added external accommodation, it ticks boxes for families seeking room to grow, as well as buyers needing a practical yet adaptable layout. The potential here is clear – both in how it could be enjoyed immediately, and how it could evolve further to suit longer-term needs.
