Thorndyke Close, Rainhill, L35

Beautifully renovated and immaculately presented, this superb semi-detached home on Thorndyke Close offers far more space than first impressions suggest, owing to a substantial double-storey rear extension that has transformed both the living accommodation and the first-floor layout. Every part of the property has been thoughtfully upgraded, creating a home that blends contemporary style with practical family living. Originally designed with three bedrooms, the current owners have reimagined the layout by combining the two front bedrooms to form a remarkable full-width master suite, complete with a wall of fitted wardrobes and an impressive sense of scale. For those who prefer the traditional three-bedroom arrangement, the seller is more than willing to reinstate the stud wall, offering valuable flexibility for future buyers.

The ground floor showcases the true highlight of this home: an exceptional open-plan kitchen, dining and living space that spans the full width of the extended rear. Set into distinct yet connected zones, the newly fitted kitchen features sleek cabinetry, high-quality integrated appliances and a stylish breakfast island that naturally becomes the hub for everyday gathering. From here, the layout flows into a dedicated dining area perfect for hosting guests, and further still into a cosy, inviting living space. Large windows, including a bay window to the front and French doors to the rear, flood the ground floor with natural light, creating a seamless connection to the garden and making this room a wonderful setting for families and entertainers alike. Completing the ground floor is a welcoming entrance hall and a modern downstairs WC.

Upstairs continues to impress with two exceptionally spacious double bedrooms, each benefiting from fitted wardrobes and enhanced by the thoughtful reconfiguration of space. One bedroom has been almost doubled in size thanks to the rear extension, enjoying generous proportions rarely found in similar homes. The second bedroom, formed by combining the original front rooms, offers a luxurious and versatile space that could easily be reverted to two separate rooms if required. The bathroom has been extended and comprehensively refitted to create a luxurious retreat, featuring a freestanding bath, a separate walk-in shower, quality tiling and contemporary fixtures-perfect for unwinding at the end of the day.

Outside, the property occupies a desirable corner plot that enhances both privacy and kerb appeal. The wrap-around rear garden provides multiple usable areas for relaxation, play or outdoor dining, while the large paved driveway to the front offers excellent off-road parking for at least three vehicles, making it ideal for families with multiple cars or visiting guests.

Situated in the sought-after and leafy suburb of Rainhill, the home enjoys a wonderfully convenient location just a short walk from Rainhill Village, where you’ll find a selection of bistros, restaurants, cafés, boutique shops and everyday amenities. Rainhill Train Station offers excellent commuter access, and the area is well regarded for its quality schools, making it a highly desirable place to live. Easy access to the M62 motorway further enhances its appeal for those travelling to Liverpool, Manchester or beyond.
