Dorking Road, Chorley, PR6

A Five-Bedroom Detached Home in Chorley with Light-Filled Garden Living. Arnold & Phillips Chorley are proud to present this five-bedroom detached home in Chorley, where a broad open-plan kitchen, dining and family room brings the garden into everyday view. Rooflights and folding doors give this rear living space its distinctive character, while a separate front lounge and ground-floor playroom or study provide welcome choice elsewhere. Offering approximately 2,224 sq ft including the integral garage, the property combines sociable accommodation with five upstairs bedrooms, a separate utility room and a planted rear garden.

Separate Spaces, Connected Living. The frontage brings together brickwork, contrasting cladding and a projecting gable, with a paved driveway leading towards the entrance and garage. Planting along the front and side softens the approach and gives the house an established setting. Inside, the hallway provides a clear route through the ground floor, with a WC close to the entrance and stairs leading to the first-floor landing. The lounge sits at the front of the house, away from the main kitchen and family space. Its broad window, carpeted floor and chimney breast create a comfortable setting for reading or watching television when a quieter room is preferred. Across the hallway, the additional reception room is shown as a playroom and labelled on the floorplan as a playroom or study. Its separate position makes home working a practical alternative, allowing a desk and equipment to remain outside the main living accommodation. Having both this room and the lounge gives the ground floor flexibility beyond its principal open-plan space.

Kitchen & Dining. At the rear, the accommodation opens into a kitchen, dining and family room arranged across connected zones. The kitchen occupies one side, with the sitting area extending towards the garden glazing. A change in ceiling height and a central pier give the different areas definition while preserving their open relationship. Pale, flat-fronted cabinetry is paired with wood-effect worktops and matching splashbacks. A breakfast peninsula provides informal seating alongside the preparation space, so someone cooking can remain part of the conversation. An oven and extractor are visible, while the combination of cupboards and open shelving offers both concealed storage and space for everyday items.

The room broadens into a sitting area beneath a row of rooflights, with further daylight entering through the rear glazing. Folding doors connect this space with the terrace, and the lawn remains visible from the seating area. The appeal lies in that connection: kitchen tasks, time around the table and an afternoon outside can all take place within the same part of the home. A separate utility room sits off the hallway, with a sink and an external side door shown on the floorplan. This gives household tasks their own space and provides a useful secondary entrance.

Bedrooms & Bathrooms. All five bedrooms are arranged on the first floor around the landing. The principal bedroom occupies the front right-hand side of the house and has its own en-suite. Pale decoration, a broad front window and additional side windows give the photographed room a light, composed appearance, with space around the bed for freestanding furniture. Three further bedrooms offer alternative sleeping arrangements, while the smaller fifth bedroom is photographed with a daybed. This provides another option for occasional guests or a separate study upstairs, depending on how the ground-floor rooms are used. There are two bath and shower rooms upstairs, including the principal en-suite, together with the separate ground-floor WC. The photographs show contrasting tiled finishes: one room combines grey tiling with a patterned shower enclosure, while the other pairs a freestanding bath and separate shower with a dark tiled feature wall. Both provide bathing and showering facilities.

Outside. The paved rear terrace sits directly beyond the folding doors, creating a natural place for outdoor seating beside the main living room. From here, the garden extends into a lawn edged by established shrubs, hedging and trees. The photographs show space for both seating and play, with planting giving the garden texture and a leafy backdrop. Looking back towards the house also reveals how the rear accommodation relates to the terrace: the glazing forms a broad connection between the two, rather than leaving the garden separate from the rooms used most often. At the front, the paved driveway provides parking. The integral garage adds further practical space, with internal access shown through the playroom or study.

Location & Lifestyle. This Chorley setting brings the town’s everyday services into the wider picture, including Library House Surgery on Avondale Road and pharmacy provision on Eaves Lane. Chorley Vets on Market Street and the town-centre markets provide further practical options for pet care and shopping. Astley Park offers a setting for walks and time outdoors, with Café Ambio providing somewhere to stop during a visit. Chorley railway station has services towards Preston, Bolton and Manchester, supporting travel beyond the immediate area. Road connections include access to the M61 at junction 8, with the M6 and M65 serving the wider region.

Viewing Summary. The lasting impression is of a home with room to come together and room to pursue separate routines. Its garden-facing living space gives the accommodation a clear focus, supported by a quieter lounge, an adaptable study or playroom and five bedrooms upstairs. A viewing through Arnold & Phillips Chorley will allow buyers to appreciate the relationship between these spaces and the practical contribution of the utility room, garage and driveway.
