Highfield Drive, Standish, Wigan

Situated on the edge of an exclusive leafy cul-de-sac, bordering the attractive Ashfield Park and yet within comfortable walking distance of the thriving village of Standish, this impressive executive detached home occupies one of the most desirable plots on the development. Built by the highly regarded Redrow Homes approximately 30 years ago, and forming part of one of Standish’s most sought-after small developments, this is a property of genuine quality and appeal.The well-proportioned accommodation extends to approximately 1,698 sq ft and is arranged over two floors. A welcoming entrance hallway with staircase provides access to the principal ground floor rooms. The main lounge is a bright and inviting space, enjoying an abundance of natural light from dual-aspect windows. To the rear is a second reception room, currently used as a dining room, which in turn leads into a conservatory enjoying lovely views over the beautiful gardens and the adjacent leafy park beyond. This flexible space offers a variety of potential uses including an additional sitting room or family room.The ground floor further benefits from a cloakroom and a dedicated study, ideal for home working. The kitchen overlooks the gardens and is fitted with a comprehensive range of wall and base units, complemented by integrated appliances including a dishwasher, eye-level ovens and a gas hob. Completing the ground floor is a practical laundry room with direct access to the outside.To the first floor are four generous bedrooms, including a superb principal bedroom which features an extensive range of fitted wardrobes and a spacious four-piece en-suite bathroom, creating a true private sanctuary, while the remaining three bedrooms are both well-sized and feature fitted storage. A family bathroom serves the remaining rooms.Externally, the property is beautifully presented and set within an extensive and thoughtfully designed plot. The home is approached via a substantial double width tarmac driveway providing parking for several vehicles and access to a detached double garage. The gardens wrap around the property, with mature trees and established planting providing a high degree of privacy and reflecting the current owners’ care and attention to outdoor living. A second gated area to the side is a natural woodland area but could potentially offer space to enlarge the garden or make a dedicated play area. Standish village is a highly desirable place to live and an ideal location for families, offering excellent schools, transport links and a wide range of amenities. The village enjoys a strong sense of community and is home to the Grade I listed St Wilfrid’s Church within its conservation centre.
