Windmill Avenue, Ormskirk, L39

Thomas Samuel - this could be yours

A hidden gem, with rather more to it than first meets the eye.

Tucked away along Windmill Avenue, this attractive Victorian terrace is full of lovely surprises. From its allocated parking and generous rear garden to two beautifully finished bathrooms, it's a home that offers far more than you might expect. Step inside and you'll find a property that's been thoughtfully transformed, with period character, gorgeous styling and a level of finish that makes it feel instantly like home. It's the sort of place that's ready to enjoy from day one, and rather difficult not to fall for.

Behind the pretty brick frontage and welcoming green door, an entrance vestibule provides a useful introduction before opening into a beautifully presented lounge. Neutral tones, warm wooden flooring and an ornate original fireplace create a lovely setting, with traditional column radiators adding to the character found throughout the house. There's also some excellent built-in storage, thoughtfully incorporated into the space. French doors open directly onto a courtyard-style area, creating a lovely connection between the lounge and the outside space beyond.

The kitchen sits just beyond, with its crisp white shaker styling, wooden worktops and picture window bringing in natural light. Beyond here, a useful ground floor shower room incorporates a shower, wash basin and fitted units, with space for laundry facilities.

Upstairs, the attention to detail continues, with decorative wall panelling following the staircase and carrying through onto the landing. Both bedrooms are generous doubles, with the principal positioned to the front, and both benefiting from fitted wardrobes and excellent storage.

The bathroom, however, deserves a mention of its own. With beautiful patterned wallpaper, herringbone flooring, an ornate mirror and elegant wall lighting, it's been finished with real personality. A lovely blend of traditional styling and modern comfort, it's a room that feels a little bit special.

Outside is perhaps another of this home's biggest surprises. The courtyard area leads through to a generous paved patio, before opening out onto a lovely lawn, with established planting and an apple tree adding to its cottage-like appeal. There's plenty of room to sit out, entertain and enjoy the space.

With its tucked-away position, allocated parking, surprisingly generous garden, two bathrooms and storage rarely found in a home of this style, this is a Victorian terrace that really does have the element of surprise. Beautifully finished, full of character and ready for its next chapter, it's a little hidden gem in Ormskirk.
