Description

This exceptional five-bedroom detached residence beautifully blends period character with contemporary design, creating a luxurious and highly versatile home perfectly suited to modern family living. Ideally located in the heart of the sought-after residential area of Orrell, the property offers both everyday convenience and a sense of privacy, set back from the road.

Extensively upgraded and thoughtfully extended, the home provides an impressive amount of well-planned living space. It is ideally positioned for highly regarded schools, local restaurants and amenities, with the M6 and M58 motorways within easy reach — making it perfect for families of all ages.

Inside, the welcoming sitting room showcases elegant stained-glass bay windows and a cosy log burner, creating an inviting atmosphere. A second reception room to the front of the home offers flexible use as a home office, playroom or snug.

To the rear, a further lounge flows through French doors into the dining area — the true heart of the home. Here, a vaulted ceiling with skylights and patio doors overlooking the garden fill the space with natural light. The dining area opens seamlessly into the bright kitchen and breakfast room, creating an outstanding space for entertaining and family gatherings. The bespoke kitchen features integrated appliances, a central island for casual dining, and bi-fold doors leading directly to the raised rear terrace, delivering effortless indoor-outdoor living. A separate utility room with WC adds practical everyday convenience.

Upstairs, the first floor hosts a generous principal bedroom with a stylish en-suite. Bedroom Two retains beautiful stained-glass bay windows, while Bedroom Four enjoys peaceful garden views. A contemporary four-piece family bathroom completes this level.

The second floor offers two further spacious double bedrooms, both enhanced by skylights and dormer windows that flood the rooms with natural light, along with a versatile dressing room or workspace — ideal for home working or additional family use.

Outside, the private enclosed garden provides a tranquil retreat designed for both relaxation and entertaining. A well-kept lawn offers plenty of space for children and outdoor activities, while a paved seating area beside the kitchen and dining spaces is perfect for al fresco dining. A second, larger paved patio at the rear of the garden creates an additional secluded spot housing the good sized summer house that comes with power and lighting and is fully insulated providing a separate space either for entertaining in the early spring evenings alongside the fully functional pizza oven, or as an excellent base for home working and business pursuits.

To the front, a generous gated driveway provides secure off-road parking for multiple vehicles, further enhancing the home’s privacy and kerb appeal, complemented by mature planting and established boundaries.

With its blend of character features, modern finishes, and substantial internal and external space, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a standout family home in one of the area’s most desirable locations.
