Glovers Way, Burscough, L40

Thomas Samuel- this could be yours

There are some homes that simply give you more, and this is one of them. Set within a particularly peaceful part of Burscough, away from through traffic, this three-bedroom semi-detached home is spread across three floors, giving it a really lovely sense of space, but it is what happens beyond the back garden that makes this one particularly special..

Backing directly onto Burscough Canal, the garden has been made into a place to enjoy. Rather than simply looking out towards the water, the current owners have created their own waterside spot beyond the main garden, with seating and decoration making the most of this wonderfully private-feeling setting. With no public footpath running through this section, it feels like an extension of the garden and somewhere you can sit, relax and enjoy the canal. 

The garden itself is a great size and arranged over two tiers, creating different areas to sit, entertain and enjoy. The current owners have made the most of the space, creating an outdoor setting that works beautifully with the waterside surroundings beyond.

Inside, the house is just as easy to love. Herringbone flooring runs through the main living areas, bringing warmth and character to the contemporary finish, while the layout has been cleverly arranged across three floors to give everyone their own space.

At the heart of the home is a bright and sociable kitchen and dining space, creating the perfect setting for everything from busy weekday breakfasts to relaxed family dinners and evenings spent entertaining. It is a lovely modern space with plenty of room for a generous dining table, making it a natural hub for everyday life and time spent with friends and family.

The living room is a bright, modern and beautifully fresh space, with French doors opening directly onto the garden and bringing plenty of natural light into the room. The neutral finish makes it feel light and effortless, while the connection to the garden gives the space an easy sense of flow. A WC completes the ground floor.

The sense of space continues across two further floors, with two genuine double bedrooms on the first floor, both benefiting from fitted storage and plenty of room for furnishings. The contemporary family bathroom is finished with a walk-in shower and stylish black detailing, giving the space a modern and sophisticated feel.

The entire upper level is dedicated to the impressive principal bedroom, creating a private retreat away from the main family spaces. Generously proportioned, there is ample room for a large bed alongside additional furnishings such as a sofa, whilst fitted storage keeps the space practical. An angled rear-facing bay window draws natural light into the room and provides a particularly lovely outlook, whilst the private en-suite shower room adds another layer of comfort and convenience.

Outside, however, is where this home really sets itself apart. The combination of a genuinely good-sized two-tier garden, the space the owners have created beside the canal and the fact that the water is quite literally part of the backdrop to everyday life is something you simply do not get with every modern family home.

Imagine summer evenings outside, drinks in the garden, boats passing along the canal and having your own little waterside spot to retreat to. It gives this home something much more memorable than simply having a nice garden.

A modern three-bedroom home across three floors is one thing. A great garden is another. But a home where the garden leads straight into a beautifully created waterside setting beside Burscough Canal is something altogether different.
