Longfold, Mere Brow, PR4

Arnold & Phillips are delighted to present this beautifully renovated two-bedroom detached dormer bungalow, nestled in a discreet and highly regarded cul-de-sac setting within ‘Longfold’, Mere Brow.

Offering a thoughtful blend of character and modern design, this versatile home provides a rare opportunity for buyers seeking a well-balanced, low-maintenance property in one of West Lancashire’s most peaceful yet well-connected spots.

Tucked away within this quiet residential enclave, the property occupies a private plot set back from the road. A smartly presented driveway welcomes you in, offering off-road parking for multiple vehicles. With its detached position and neatly defined boundaries, there’s a real sense of privacy here – ideal for professionals seeking a quiet retreat, or buyers looking to downsize into something that still retains a degree of independence and space.

As you step inside, the entrance leads directly into a spacious open-plan living area, which has been designed with simplicity and usability in mind. The layout flows easily between zones, allowing for both relaxed living and practical everyday use. The kitchen sits neatly along one side, fitted with a clean range of contemporary units, integrated appliances and hardwearing work surfaces. There’s space here for informal meals or evening drinks, and everything has been designed with ease of movement and function at the forefront.

The remainder of this large studio-style space provides ample room for both dining and lounging, all laid out in a way that feels open yet comfortable. The proportions are generous without being overwhelming, and the room connects directly to the rear garden via modern patio doors, which makes it simple to move between inside and outside during the warmer months.

To the rear of the ground floor sits the main bathroom, finished in a contemporary tile and equipped with a full suite including bath with overhead shower, WC and fitted vanity unit. Also on this level is the second bedroom — a well-sized and adaptable space that could equally serve as a guest room, home office or occasional sitting room depending on need. It sits far enough from the main living area to offer privacy and flexibility.

Upstairs, the primary bedroom occupies the entire first floor and is one of the standout features of the property. With dual aspect windows that offer a pleasant outlook across neighbouring plots, the room benefits from a generous floor area and well-considered finish. Fitted storage keeps the room free from clutter, and the adjoining en-suite is tiled in a sleek, neutral style and fitted with a walk-in shower, basin and WC — ideal for those wanting private facilities away from the main living space.

Externally, the garden has been cleverly designed to require minimal upkeep while still providing a pleasant space to enjoy. Fully laid in premium Indian stone, the area wraps around the rear and side of the property and includes ample room for outdoor seating, container planting or a small dining setup. Its compact size makes it ideal for buyers looking to avoid the upkeep of a larger garden, without giving up the benefit of outdoor space entirely.

Mere Brow continues to grow in popularity thanks to its blend of rural charm and easy access to nearby towns. Local amenities are close by, including village shops, eateries and leisure options, while the wider conveniences of Southport, Tarleton and Ormskirk are all within easy reach by car. The area benefits from strong transport connections, with the A565 and A59 both nearby, offering straightforward routes for commuting or day-to-day travel. For those who enjoy outdoor pursuits, nearby walks, golf courses and coastal paths offer plenty of opportunity to explore the surrounding countryside.

At just under 800 square feet, this property offers a surprisingly spacious interior with a layout that works well for both everyday living and visiting guests. With double glazing, modern central heating and a fresh, neutral aesthetic throughout, it’s move-in ready and adaptable enough to suit a wide range of buyers. Whether you’re looking to downsize without compromise or want a well-located base with strong transport links and low running costs, this is a home that’s easy to settle into and enjoy.
