Parkside Avenue, Skelmersdale, WN8

Arnold and Phillips are delighted to offer for sale this fully modernised two-bedroom ground floor apartment, offering a turnkey opportunity in a well-established residential setting. Whether you're a first-time buyer looking for a straightforward move, downsizing for ease of maintenance, or seeking a smart investment with minimal ongoing costs, this apartment ticks a lot of boxes with its thoughtful upgrades and practical layout.

The apartment is located in a quiet, residential development with well-kept communal areas and a sense of neighbourly care that’s increasingly hard to find. Parking is available nearby, and access to the property is straightforward, with no steps to navigate — something that will particularly appeal to buyers wanting a home that’s easy to manage both now and in future years.

As you step inside, the quality of the refurbishment is immediately clear. The entrance opens into a hallway that gives access to all principal rooms, and the finish throughout is clean and cohesive — neutral tones on the walls, new flooring underfoot, and a feeling that every element has been chosen with longevity in mind.

To the rear of the property is main living area, a space that works well for a range of layouts. There’s enough room here for a comfortable seating arrangement and a dining table if desired, without feeling squeezed. The new kitchen is set just off this room and has been finished to a high standard, with modern units, integrated appliances, and enough work surface space for someone who actually enjoys cooking — not just heating things up. It's a sensible and functional design that doesn’t waste space, and it blends into the overall living area in a way that keeps things feeling connected but not too open.

Both bedrooms are a good size for this type of property. The larger of the two would easily accommodate a double bed along with wardrobes and drawers, and the second room could be used as a guest room, study or even a hobby space. Again, the decor has been kept simple and smart, which makes it easy to move in without needing to change a thing.

The modern bathroom is a fantastic addition with a walk in shower, toilet, and hand wash basin. It feels fresh and new, but importantly, it’s also practical — designed with daily use in mind rather than just appearances.

Outside, while there is no private garden, the communal grounds are neatly maintained and give a sense of openness around the development. Some ground floor residents have placed outdoor seating by their front door, taking advantage of the shared green space to enjoy the outdoors without the upkeep of a full garden. It’s a small but welcome feature that adds to the day-to-day enjoyment of living here. The property has an allocated parking space right outside adding to the practicality.

The location adds further appeal. Local shops, cafés and supermarkets are all within easy reach, and there are regular bus routes and transport links connecting to nearby towns and amenities. For those needing to commute, local train stations offer direct services into Southport, Liverpool and other regional centres. For day-to-day convenience, it's a spot that works very well — you’re not far from anything, yet you’re not in the thick of it either.

In short, this is a low-maintenance, high-comfort property that makes sense for a wide range of buyers. The modern upgrades mean there’s no immediate work required, and the layout allows you to live comfortably without compromise. It’s rare to find an apartment that feels this considered in terms of both finish and functionality, and we’d recommend viewing sooner rather than later to appreciate what’s on offer.
