Skelmersdale Road, Bickerstaffe, L39

Arnold and Phillips are delighted to offer for sale this newly built, bespoke three-bedroom cottage, set within the semi-rural Parish of Bickerstaffe. This property blends practical, contemporary living with a layout that’s been designed for real everyday life — all while offering a calm, residential setting that remains well-connected to nearby towns and amenities.

The property has a smart, low-maintenance frontage which provides off-road parking for multiple vehicles — ideal for families or households with more than one car. The kerb appeal is immediate, with a modern brick exterior and neatly presented driveway, while the property sits comfortably among other well-kept homes in this quiet residential lane.

Stepping through the front door, the hallway offers a clean, neutral entrance point that gives a true sense of how well the property has been finished throughout. Off to the left, the lounge presents itself as a more traditional sitting room — a space to wind down in the evening or enjoy quieter moments away from the open plan areas at the rear. There’s a comfortable, intimate feel to the room, helped by its proportions and the placement of windows, which allow for consistent natural light without feeling exposed.

Moving through to the back of the house, the rear of the ground floor opens up into a striking open-plan kitchen and dining area. This is the heart of the home — laid out with modern family living in mind. The kitchen has been fully updated with sleek cabinetry, integrated appliances, and a stunning kitchen island. There’s ample space for a large dining table, making it a great spot for family meals, weekend hosting, or simply day-to-day living. The open-plan design ensures everyone can stay connected, whether cooking, eating, or just passing through.

Beyond the dining area is a bright and versatile sun room or family room — the extension that really completes the ground floor. With bi-folding doors leading out to the garden, this space offers flexibility in how it’s used — perfect for a second lounge, children's playroom, or a relaxed garden-facing workspace. It’s well-positioned at the rear, so it enjoys privacy while still feeling connected to the main kitchen area.

Upstairs, the home continues to impress. The master bedroom is a spacious double with a calm, neutral finish and the added benefit of a modern en-suite, complete with contemporary tiling and walk-in shower. For those looking for four-bedrooms, the master bedroom can easily be split into 2-double bedrooms if desired. Bedrooms two and three are well-sized — one makes for a generous double, while the other, although slightly smaller, is far from boxy and could comfortably suit a child’s room, guest bedroom, or home office. The family bathroom has been finished to the same high standard as the rest of the property, with a full-sized jacuzzi bath, quality fittings, and thoughtful layout.

Outside, the rear garden is a genuine feature in its own right. Long and fully enclosed, the space has been well cared for, offering a safe, private environment that’s ideal for children, pets, or simply enjoying some quiet time outdoors. The mature trees and shrubbery at the far end create a green backdrop adding to the scenery. The garden features two outbuildings that can have many different uses. The smaller ‘garden room’ is currently used as another reception seating space. This is great for buyers looking for that additional private space to relax and unwind. At the bottom of the garden is the larger ‘snooker room’ which as the name suggests, is currently used as games room and can easily accommodate a full size snooker table. This room is perfect for use as it is, or transforming into a larger work from home space, business or annex. It’s a garden that can evolve as your needs do — big enough to be useful, manageable enough not to feel like a burden.

Location-wise, this home benefits from being in Bickerstaffe — a Parish that offers the charm and community feel of countryside living, while still providing good access to transport links to Ormskirk and Rainford. The M58 is only a short drive away, making it easy to reach Liverpool and other motorway networks. Locally, you’ll find highly regarded schools, local shops, and scenic walking routes that give you the chance to enjoy the outdoors without having to travel far.

This is a property that’s been modernised with care and attention to detail. It doesn’t just look the part — it functions well for modern living too. Whether you’re upsizing, relocating to enjoy a quieter pace, or simply want a home that’s ready to move into without needing any work, this house offers a very practical option in a well-connected, sought-after spot.
