Earlswood, Skelmersdale, WN8

Arnold and Phillips are pleased to offer for sale this well-proportioned three-bedroom detached bungalow, positioned on a generous plot in a popular and established residential area of Skelmersdale. Requiring some modernisation, this is a home full of potential — ideal for buyers who are looking for a small project with the bones of something truly special and the scope to shape it to their own lifestyle and taste.

Set back from the road, the bungalow benefits from a wide frontage with ample space for off-road parking and easy access to the integrated garage. The approach is straightforward, with a low-maintenance front garden and a practical pathway leading to the main entrance. For those considering future adaptations such as ramp access or landscaping to suit specific needs, the layout of the frontage lends itself well to customisation.

Once inside, the central hallway offers an immediate sense of the property’s spacious layout. Straight ahead is the kitchen — a functional space as it stands, with plenty of room for a large dining table. Whether the goal is a clean, modern finish with streamlined cabinetry and built-in appliances, or a more traditional family-style kitchen, the room can comfortably accommodate it. There’s potential to open this space up, perhaps even knocking through to the lounge to create a more open-plan living area, subject to necessary consents.

To the right of the hallway is the lounge, a generous room that feels well-proportioned and naturally zoned for both relaxing and entertaining. A large window at the front offers views of the garden and brings in a comfortable level of natural light during the day. With its size and shape, this room could easily be reconfigured with modern furnishings.

The lounge also provides internal access to the rear of the property, where all three bedrooms and the main bathroom are located. This thoughtful layout keeps the living areas separate from the sleeping quarters, which adds a sense of privacy and practicality — particularly beneficial for families, visiting guests, or those considering long-term accessibility needs. Each bedroom is comfortably sized, capable of fitting standard bedroom furniture without compromising on walking space. Depending on personal needs, one of these could easily become a home office or snug, offering flexibility for hybrid working or hobbies.

The bathroom boasts a three piece suite with shower, toilet, and wash basin. The bathroom has been opened up from its original separate toilet and bath design, This has created a nice size bathroom with plenty of reconfiguration options.

The integrated garage is accessed externally and provides excellent storage potential. Whether used for secure parking, a home workshop or future conversion into internal living space, it offers yet another layer of opportunity for buyers wanting to add value or tailor the home to suit evolving needs.

The rear garden is a real asset. As it stands, it’s a blank canvas, offering buyers the chance to create their own outdoor haven — whether that’s a neat lawn with borders, a low-maintenance paved area for eating outdoors in the warmer months, or a more ambitious landscaping project. The size of the plot provides enough depth and privacy to support a variety of uses, from garden rooms to greenhouses or even play areas.

Located within a quiet and established part of Skelmersdale, this home benefits from a strong sense of community and good access to local amenities. Shops, supermarkets and schools — both primary and secondary — are all within easy reach, making it a practical spot for family life. Transport links are convenient too, with nearby access to the M58 offering direct routes to Liverpool, Wigan and beyond, while local bus routes connect surrounding towns and neighbourhoods. For those who enjoy walking or being outdoors, the nearby Tawd Valley Park offers scenic walking trails and green open space just a short distance away.

This bungalow presents a genuine opportunity for those with vision. It’s not often that homes with such potential come to market in this part of town — particularly with plots of this size. Whether you’re looking to downsize and renovate to your own standards, or take on a first family home with room to grow into, this property is ready to be reimagined and made your own.
