Cobbs Brow Lane, Lathom, L40

Arnold & Phillips are delighted to present for sale this substantial five-bedroom detached farmhouse, ideally positioned along the highly regarded Cobbs Brow Lane in Lathom, West Lancashire.

Rarely does a property of this scale and character become available in such a sought-after setting, with this impressive home combining timeless architecture, a flexible internal layout and a large, private plot bordered by open countryside.

From the outset, the stone exterior and distinctive farmhouse design provide immediate kerb appeal, sitting confidently within its leafy surroundings. The property is approached via a wide private driveway that comfortably accommodates multiple vehicles, as well as an alternative access, with further parking space available if needed. Two separate entrance porches offer everyday practicality, allowing for front and rear access depending on your daily routine—especially handy for families or anyone managing muddy boots after a walk through the local countryside.

Once inside, the scale and flow of the accommodation are immediately apparent. The main living room spans over 28 feet in length, offering a generous yet comfortable space for everyday use or larger social gatherings. A character fireplace creates a natural focal point without overpowering the room, while windows to both sides help balance the space. Adjoining this reception room is a dedicated utility area and convenient ground floor WC, offering the kind of functional touches that make everyday living easier.

Centrally located at the heart of the home is a large open-plan kitchen and dining area. Fitted with a comprehensive range of traditional timber wall, base and tower units, the kitchen is equipped with integrated appliances and a selection of contrasting worktops that bring warmth and practicality to the space. Whether you enjoy entertaining, family meals, or simply having room to cook in comfort, this area caters to it all. There’s ample space for a large dining table, with the open layout providing clear visibility through to the adjacent family room.

The rear extension houses a spacious and versatile living area that has clearly been designed with modern living in mind. With dual-aspect windows and two sets of bi-folding doors, this part of the house effortlessly connects with the gardens beyond. It’s a great space for relaxed evenings or keeping an eye on children playing outside. It could just as easily function as a day room or informal lounge, depending on your lifestyle.

Upstairs, the accommodation continues to impress, with five well-proportioned bedrooms all of a comfortable double size. Each room is decorated in a light, neutral style, offering a blank canvas for new owners. The views from the first floor are particularly appealing, with open countryside visible from several rooms—something that adds a sense of peace and rural charm. The main bedroom is particularly noteworthy, with the welcome addition of a spacious dressing area (which can easily be converted to an en-suite, if required, as it is fully plumbed). Two bathrooms serve the first floor, both fitted with showers, ensuring the practicalities of busy family life are well catered for.

Externally, the property sits within a beautifully mature, South-facing private plot. Well-tended lawns surround the home, edged with an array of fruit and mature trees, shrubs and planting that enhance the feeling of privacy without requiring intensive upkeep. The rear of the property opens out to a stunning countryside backdrop - rolling fields and uninterrupted views that offer a daily reminder of the semi-rural lifestyle on offer here with Blackpool Tower, Liverpool Docks and Ormskirk Water Tower also visible from the home. A paved West-facing patio area provides plenty of space for garden seating or outdoor meals during the warmer months, whether that’s breakfast in the morning sun or evening drinks with family and friends.

Completing the exterior is a large detached double garage, currently used for parking but offering further potential should you require additional accommodation, a workspace, or even a studio—subject, of course, to obtaining the necessary permissions.

Located just a short distance from the respected Maharishi school and surrounded by well-regarded primary and secondary options, the property is also well-placed for commuting, with Ormskirk, Burscough and the wider West Lancashire transport network all within easy reach. Cobbs Brow Lane remains one of Lathom’s most desirable addresses for good reason—offering a blend of country living, excellent connectivity, and local charm that’s difficult to replicate.

This is a home that promises flexibility, space and a genuine sense of lifestyle. Whether you're upsizing, relocating, or looking for a long-term family base, this property provides an exceptional foundation to build your future. Early viewing is highly recommended to appreciate all that’s on offer here.
