St. James Close, Westhead, Ormskirk, L40 6JU

Nestled within the highly sought-after and tranquil St. James Close in Westhead, this exceptional detached five-bedroom family home offers the perfect blend of privacy and space. Set back from the road in a quiet residential enclave, the property boasts an expansive driveway providing ample parking for several vehicles, alongside beautifully maintained, generous gardens that wrap around the home, creating a serene outdoor sanctuary.

Although tucked away in a peaceful setting, the property enjoys a highly convenient location close to local amenities. Ormskirk town centre is just a short distance away, offering a wide range of shops, restaurants, and leisure facilities. Families will also benefit from excellent local schools and the nearby Edge Hill University. For those who enjoy the outdoors, the scenic Ruff Woods and surrounding countryside provide the perfect opportunity for walking, exploring, and relaxing in nature.

Stepping through the open porch, you are greeted by a spacious and welcoming inner hallway. This central hub of the home is bright and airy, with a generous footprint that effortlessly accommodates everyday living. The elegant staircase rises to the first floor and serves as a central feature. The hallway offers immediate access to the principal reception rooms, creating a seamless and practical layout.

The sitting room is a bright and welcoming space, with French doors opening out to the front of the property, allowing natural light to pour in throughout the day. Generous in size, the room easily accommodates a range of furniture layouts, offering flexibility to suit your lifestyle. Whether styled for entertaining or quiet evenings in, this is a space that invites you to relax and truly make your own.

The property also benefits from a second, more private living space – a generously sized room that offers both comfort and versatility. A bay-style window to the front and sliding doors opening out to the rear garden ensure the room is filled with natural light throughout the day. A central fireplace creates a cosy focal point, giving the space a warm and inviting feel. Currently styled with sofas and soft furnishings, this room is ideal for relaxed evenings or quiet moments within the main flow of the home.

Just off the main living space, a generous dining room offers the perfect setting for both family meals and entertaining guests. With ample space for a large dining table and a relaxed seated area, the room strikes a balance between functionality and comfort. Open-plan in design, it flows seamlessly into the kitchen, enhancing the sense of space and connectivity throughout the ground floor.

The kitchen itself is a standout feature — a timeless design with a modern edge. Ivory wall and base units are paired beautifully with striking marble worktops and matching splash back, creating a clean and elegant finish. A classic range cooker with gas hob sits at the heart of the space, complemented by a built-in extractor overhead. There’s ample storage throughout, including deep drawers and overhead cupboards, while integrated appliances add to the kitchen’s sleek, uncluttered feel.

Each of these ground floor spaces benefits from the open-plan flow that makes the home feel spacious and connected, yet they can also be accessed individually from the inner hallway. This thoughtful layout offers the best of both worlds — allowing for easy movement between rooms during everyday living, while still providing the option for more private or separate use when desired.

Finishing off the downstairs is a well-appointed utility room, offering additional cabinetry for storage and worktop space for added convenience. This practical area is ideal for laundry and everyday household tasks, and also features a built-in storage cupboard, helping to keep the rest of the home clutter-free. The ground floor also benefits from a separate WC, neatly positioned off the hallway — an ideal addition for guests and busy family life.

The well-appointed landing leads to five generously sized double bedrooms, each thoughtfully designed with built-in wardrobes, offering excellent storage without compromising on space.

The principal bedroom is especially impressive — a spacious and calming retreat that easily accommodates a king-size bed, along with a dedicated seating or vanity area. This room also benefits from its own private en-suite, finished in neutral tones and half-tiled for a clean, timeless look. The en-suite features a corner bath, WC, and a vanity sink unit, creating a functional yet relaxing space to unwind.

One of the bedrooms is currently styled as a dedicated dressing room, complete with full-length fitted wardrobes and a well-planned layout. Uniquely, it can be accessed directly from both the landing and an adjoining bedroom, offering flexibility in how the space is used. Whether kept as a dressing room, converted into a nursery, home office, or returned to use as a fifth bedroom, it’s a versatile room that can adapt to suit your needs.

The family bathroom is well-equipped for busy daily life, featuring a corner bath, separate standalone shower unit, WC, and sink. Finished in a neutral style, the space is both practical and comfortable, ideal for everyday use by the whole household.

Outside, the property enjoys a generous lawned garden to the rear — a private and peaceful setting. A paved side area provides additional outdoor space, with a useful storage shed tucked away for garden tools and equipment. Whether entertaining, gardening, or unwinding, the outdoor areas offer excellent versatility and privacy.

This exceptional home effortlessly combines space, style, and privacy, while still offering the convenience of local amenities and natural surroundings — truly a must-see property in Ormskirk.
