The Woodlands, Lathom, L40

Arnold and Phillips are delighted to present this attractive four-bedroom detached home, positioned within a private and well-maintained gated community in the desirable village of Lathom, just outside Ormskirk. Offering over 1,970 square feet of thoughtfully arranged living space across three floors, this property has been designed with family living in mind, while also offering a sense of privacy and comfort that’s not always easy to come by.

Tucked away, the property sits within a peaceful cul-de-sac, offering a sense of quiet and security that many families will appreciate. The approach is neat and well-kept, with a detached garage positioned to the side and a private driveway offering off-road parking for multiple vehicles. The front of the house presents smartly, with traditional brickwork, pitched rooflines and a tidy lawned frontage setting the tone for what’s inside.

Stepping through the entrance porch, a WC is handily placed just off the hallway – ideal for guests or for day-to-day convenience. The hallway itself is wide and inviting, offering an immediate view through to the rear of the property and giving a glimpse of the garden beyond. To the right, the lounge spans the depth of the home and feels both welcoming and practical. There’s plenty of room for comfortable seating and entertainment setups, and the layout allows for flexible use depending on how you prefer to arrange your furniture. It’s a great space for relaxing as a family or hosting visitors without feeling confined.

To the rear, the open-plan kitchen and dining area forms the heart of the home. It’s a sociable layout that naturally encourages everyday gathering, whether around the dining table or at the worktops. There’s a good amount of cabinetry and preparation space, with everything easily accessible and thoughtfully laid out. This space leads directly into a conservatory at the back, which adds an extra dimension of living space. Whether used as a second sitting area, a playroom, or simply a quiet spot to enjoy the garden views, it offers flexibility that suits a wide range of lifestyles. The home further benefits from under floor heating.

Upstairs, the first floor provides three of the four bedrooms. Bedroom two is a particularly comfortable size and benefits from its own en suite shower room – a useful feature for teenagers, guests, or older children. The other two bedrooms on this floor are well-proportioned, capable of fitting double beds or being used as office or study space if needed. A modern family bathroom serves these rooms, fitted with practical fixtures and a clean, neutral finish.

The top floor is given entirely to the master suite – a standout feature in terms of space and privacy. The room itself is generously sized, with plenty of space for wardrobes and storage as well as a walk-in wardrobe, and the en-suite is impressively scaled, featuring a larger-than-average shower and room to add personal touches. Being on the top floor means this suite feels set apart from the rest of the house, ideal for those who prefer a sense of retreat at the end of the day.

To the rear of the home, the garden is fully enclosed, making it safe for children and pets and offering a pleasant outdoor space to enjoy through the seasons. The artificial lawn is easy to maintain and a paved area is suitable for outdoor seating or dining. The orientation means the space is usable throughout much of the day, and the private nature of the garden means it can be appreciated without feeling overlooked. There’s easy access from both the conservatory and side gate, which makes day-to-day use practical, whether that’s for bringing in bikes, gardening, or setting up for an afternoon in the sun.

Lathom itself is a sought-after location, known for its green surroundings and rural charm, while still offering excellent links to nearby towns. Ormskirk town centre is just a short drive away and provides a range of amenities including supermarkets, independent shops, cafes, restaurants, and well-regarded schools. Rail links from Ormskirk station connect to Liverpool and beyond, and for those commuting by car, access to major routes like the M58 and A59 is straightforward.

This home is particularly well-suited to families looking for more space in a secure and peaceful setting, while still remaining close to everyday essentials. With its versatile layout across three floors, spacious bedrooms, and manageable garden, it’s a property that’s ready to move into, yet offers room to adapt and personalise over time.
