Square Lane, Burscough, L40

Arnold and Phillips are delighted to present this well-appointed two-bedroom end of terrace home, set along the popular and well-connected Square Lane in Burscough. Offering an ideal blend of practicality, outdoor space, and potential, this property is particularly well suited to first-time buyers, couples or small families looking for a home that’s ready to move into, with scope to grow into over time.

Tucked away towards the end of the terrace, the property benefits from a generous frontage, with a neat garden that adds a touch of greenery and separation from the roadside. The position of the house also ensures a slightly more private feel, particularly to the rear, where access leads to off-road parking — a notable bonus in this location. Entry to the home is via the main front door into a welcoming hallway, offering access into both reception areas and a clear line of sight that hints at the home’s depth and layout.

Inside, the property is arranged in a way that works well for day-to-day life. The lounge is positioned towards the centre of the home and provides a well-sized and versatile living space. Its connection to the kitchen creates a flow that works well for both relaxing evenings and casual entertaining. The lounge is comfortably proportioned, with room for a full sofa set and furniture without feeling cramped. It opens through to the kitchen in a way that keeps the spaces visually connected, while still giving each area its own defined purpose.

The kitchen itself has been laid out efficiently, with a run of fitted units offering good worktop space and storage. There's enough room here for home cooks to work comfortably, and the position at the rear of the home makes it easy to step outside when you're hosting or eating outdoors. Just off the kitchen, a handy utility area provides space to keep laundry and household tasks tucked neatly away, which is particularly useful for those who want to keep the main living spaces uncluttered. The downstairs WC sits beyond the utility space, discreetly positioned but easily accessible — again, a very practical touch.

What sets this ground floor apart from many similarly sized homes is the addition of a separate dining room at the front of the property. This room offers more than just a place to eat — it’s a space that could easily serve multiple purposes depending on your needs. Whether it’s used as a formal dining area, a home office, a playroom or even a snug, it adds flexibility that will appeal to many buyers who are looking for adaptable spaces that suit modern life.

Upstairs, both bedrooms are generously sized and feel well balanced. Neither feels like a compromise, which is often rare in two-bedroom homes. The primary bedroom runs the width of the house, offering ample space for a king-size bed along with additional storage or a dressing area. The second bedroom is also a good size, making it suitable as a guest room, child’s bedroom, or work-from-home space. The bathroom on this floor features a four-piece suite, including a separate bath and shower — a thoughtful inclusion that’s often reserved for larger homes. It’s a good example of how this property makes clever use of its footprint to provide more comfort and convenience than you might expect.

To the rear, the garden is a great size and has clearly been designed to offer different areas for use throughout the seasons. A paved patio nearest the house makes a great spot for outdoor seating, while further sections of lawn extend down the garden, creating space for children to play, for gardening, or simply to enjoy a bit of peace and quiet. The garden is enclosed and benefits from a shed at the far end — ideal for storage or as a future hobby space. Having direct access to off-road parking at the back is a big plus, and being able to step into the house from the garden without needing to walk around the property adds ease of access that shouldn’t be overlooked.

The property also currently has planning permission in place for a single storey rear extension to make provision for an extended kitchen area.

Square Lane itself is well-positioned for everything Burscough has to offer. The town centre is within easy reach, providing a good mix of independent shops, cafes, and day-to-day amenities. There are also two train stations nearby — Burscough Bridge and Burscough Junction — offering direct links to both Southport and Manchester, making it a practical choice for commuters. Several well-regarded schools serve the area, and there are local parks, countryside walks, and the Leeds Liverpool Canal all within close proximity, which gives the area a balance of convenience and lifestyle.

Overall, this is a property that’s been laid out with real consideration for how people actually live. It offers more than you’d expect in terms of space and function, and the planning permission already in place adds that extra layer of value for those thinking longer term. It’s the kind of home that works for now and grows with you — something that’s becoming increasingly rare to find at this price point.
