Burscough Street, Ormskirk, L39

Thomas Samuel- this could be yours

Set within easy reach of Ormskirk town centre, Spring Bank is a charming mid-terrace home dating back to 1888, combining period character with a surprisingly generous amount of outside space, including private rear parking and a separate private garden beyond.

From the moment you approach, the house has an appealing presence, set back with a pretty frontage, small front garden and two characterful windows to the side of the entrance.

Inside, the reception room immediately gives you that sense of a traditional home, with the dark wood staircase creating a natural division between the living and dining area. Grey and white tones, decorative panelling and darker features complement the period feel, while the herringbone flooring adds a contemporary touch.

To the rear, the dining area opens through to a modern fitted kitchen, with integrated appliances and two windows bringing plenty of natural light into the room. The combination of modern finishes and generous natural light makes this a particularly welcoming part of the home.

Upstairs, there are two bedrooms, including a generous principal bedroom spanning the width of the front of the house and benefiting from built-in storage. The second bedroom provides a good-sized additional room, while the modern family bathroom is finished with a contemporary three-piece suite, marble-effect tiling, dark contrasting features and a window.

Outside, the kitchen leads directly out to a rear yard, from which there is access to a shared driveway serving the properties along the row, with each house having its own parking space beyond the driveway. Spring Bank benefits from its own private parking space and, importantly, beyond the parking space is a further separate gated private garden area, meaning the outside space extends considerably further than the parking arrangement might initially suggest. The parking space itself could also lend itself to being incorporated into the garden area for those who prefer to make use of the nearby on-street parking.

The property would benefit from some light cosmetic updating, principally a little redecoration, but requires no major works and offers an excellent opportunity to put your own stamp on a genuinely characterful period home.

And then there’s the location. Just a couple of minutes’ walk from Ormskirk town centre and Hattersley Retail Park, this is a wonderfully convenient spot for everyday life, with shops, amenities, transport links and everything the town has to offer right on the doorstep. The added bonus of private rear parking and a separate private garden area is a particularly useful feature and not something you often find with traditional town-centre terraces in the area.

Quaint, characterful and incredibly well placed, Spring Bank is an ideal first-time buyer home, offering period charm, modern comforts, more outside space than might initially meet the eye, and a fantastic location.
