Arnold & Phillips are delighted to present this stunning four-bedroom detached home, positioned along the ever-popular Glovers Way in Burscough, West Lancashire.

From the moment you arrive, it is clear this is a property that offers something genuinely special, combining a high-quality modern renovation with one of the most sought-after outlooks in the area. Homes backing directly onto the Leeds Liverpool Canal are rarely available, and this particular setting adds a sense of calm and character that is hard to replicate elsewhere, while still remaining within easy reach of village life.

The approach is both smart and understated, with a private driveway providing off-road parking and allowing the house to sit comfortably back from the road. There’s a sense of privacy from the outset, and the property presents itself well without feeling overstated. Stepping inside, the quality of the renovation becomes immediately apparent, with a cohesive finish that runs throughout the home and creates a feeling of continuity rather than individual rooms competing for attention.

To the front of the property, the former garage has been professionally converted to create valuable additional living space. Currently used as a home office, it offers a quiet and practical environment for working from home, away from the main living areas. Previously utilised as a bedroom, it remains a flexible space, with plumbing still in place should a future owner wish to reinstate an en-suite. This adaptability is an important consideration for buyers thinking ahead, whether that’s accommodating guests, multi-generational living or simply future proofing the layout.

The main living room is generous in its proportions and arranged around a wall-hung premium electric fireplace, which provides a clean focal point without dominating the space. It feels comfortable and welcoming, suited to relaxed evenings or more formal use when entertaining. The layout allows for a range of furniture arrangements, making it easy to personalise without losing the sense of balance within the room.

To the rear, the home opens up into what is undoubtedly the heart of the property. The open plan dining kitchen has been designed as a true central hub, encouraging everyday interaction and easy entertaining. Fitted with a comprehensive range of wall, base and tower units, the kitchen offers ample storage while maintaining a streamlined appearance. Integrated appliances are neatly housed, and the premium granite work surfaces bring a sense of durability and refinement that works well for both cooking and socialising. This space flows naturally into a dedicated dining area, which connects to the garden via modern patio doors, creating a smooth transition between inside and out without drawing too much attention to it.

Upstairs, the first floor continues the sense of quality and space. There are four well-proportioned family bedrooms, each finished to a high standard and arranged in a way that allows them to be used flexibly depending on household needs. Two of the bedrooms benefit from en-suite shower rooms, each with a high quality finish. The remaining bedrooms are served by a modern family bathroom, fitted with a bath and overhead shower, WC and vanity wash hand basin, all finished in an elegant, tiled design that feels both practical and considered.

Outside, the garden is as much a feature of the property as the interior. Private and established, it has been carefully arranged to offer both usable space and visual interest. A centrally positioned lawn is bordered by a selection of well-chosen plants and shrubs, creating a sense of maturity without demanding excessive upkeep. To one side, a high-end timber summerhouse with a living roof has been added, providing an incredibly versatile space. Whether used as a home office, gym, studio or simply somewhere to relax away from the main house, it adds genuine value and flexibility to the overall offering.

The real highlight, however, lies at the rear of the garden. Backing directly onto the Leeds Liverpool Canal, the property enjoys open aspect views over the water, creating an outlook that changes subtly with the seasons and brings a sense of peace that is rarely found so close to village amenities. A bespoke decking area has been created to make the most of this setting, offering direct access to the canal and a place to sit and enjoy the surroundings. Properties with this level of connection to the canal in Burscough are exceptionally sought after and seldom come to market, making this a particularly notable feature for any prospective buyer.

Glovers Way is well placed for access to Burscough village, where a wide range of shops, cafés and everyday amenities can be found. The presence of two nearby rail stations provides excellent transport links for commuters and those travelling further afield, while the surrounding area offers a balance of countryside walks and community-focused living. Reputable local schools and leisure facilities further enhance the appeal for families.

Benefitting from gas central heating and double glazing throughout, and extending to a generous overall size, this home offers a rare combination of premium finish, flexible accommodation and an exceptional setting. Internal inspection is highly advised to fully appreciate not only the quality of the renovation, but also the unique lifestyle offered by its canal-side position.
