Scarth Hill Lane, Lathom, L40

Arnold and Phillips are pleased to present for sale ‘Neston’, a substantial seven-bedroom detached residence set along the scenic and highly regarded Scarth Hill in Lathom, West Lancashire.

Tucked away in a semi-rural position and enjoying far-reaching views of open countryside, this is a property that offers not only generous accommodation but also a wealth of flexibility, with space and layout that can adapt to suit a wide variety of lifestyles.

Approached via a private drive, the home enjoys a discreet position away from the road, giving it a sense of seclusion without being remote. There is ample parking available on arrival, with space comfortably accommodating several vehicles, and the home itself presents an inviting frontage that reflects the scale and character of the interior within.

Stepping inside, the property unfolds in a way that reveals its versatility straight away. The main section of the ground floor welcomes you with a broad entrance hallway that links directly to four reception rooms, each of good size. While some of these have previously been adapted into bedrooms, they could just as easily be opened back into large sitting rooms, a study, or perhaps a formal dining space depending on preference. This ability to change the layout to suit family needs is one of the real advantages of this home, particularly for those wanting to combine multi-generational living, business use, or simply a home with plenty of space to spread out.

At the heart of the ground floor is a large open plan family kitchen. This has been finished to a modern specification, with a comprehensive range of fitted wall, base and tower units, complemented by integrated appliances and ample workspace. The kitchen also provides a relaxed dining area that naturally lends itself to everyday family meals or more social occasions. The scale of this room means it is both practical and sociable, and its position within the home makes it an ideal central hub.

To the left of the property lies a self-contained integrated annexe, designed with independent living in mind. This section includes its own dedicated living room, open plan kitchen and bright, comfortable living spaces, providing the option for extended family, guests, or even rental use if desired. Importantly, it is well connected to the main house, giving the choice between separation or complete integration depending on circumstance.

Moving to the first floor, the property provides seven bedrooms in total. Each is of a good size, with two of them benefiting from en-suite bathroom facilities. The remaining bedrooms are well served by further bathroom facilities, and as with the ground floor, the sheer number of rooms creates plenty of scope for reconfiguration should a buyer wish to alter the balance between bedrooms and reception areas.

Externally, ‘Neston’ continues to impress. The rear garden is extensive and primarily laid to lawn, bordered with mature plants and shrubs that add privacy and interest. A large patio terrace extends directly from the rear of the property and offers the perfect spot for enjoying the outdoors, whether that be for entertaining friends or simply sitting out during the warmer months. Beyond the main garden space, a detached modern outbuilding has been developed as a pool house, complete with an indoor swim spa (available by separate negotiation). This is a fantastic addition and could be re-purposed with relative ease into a gym, home office, studio or even further ancillary accommodation depending on the needs of the new owner.

The property benefits from practical upgrades, including a recently installed water treatment system, modern central heating and double glazing, ensuring that the house combines the comfort of modern efficiency with the charm of its established setting.

Scarth Hill itself is a sought-after location, with a strong sense of community and a semi-rural feel that still remains well connected. The nearby towns of Ormskirk and Aughton provide a wide range of amenities including supermarkets, independent shops, cafés, restaurants and leisure facilities. The area is also home to well-regarded primary and secondary schools, making it a popular choice for families. Excellent transport links are available too, with Ormskirk station offering rail connections into Liverpool and Preston, while the M58 motorway is within easy reach for those commuting further afield.

‘Neston’ is a home that presents a rare combination of size, flexibility and setting. With open aspect countryside vistas, whether you are seeking a large family home, a property with independent living space, or simply a house with potential to reconfigure and develop further, this residence offers all of that and more. Internal inspection is highly recommended to fully appreciate the possibilities on offer here.
