Thurstan Place, Chorley, PR7

A Kitchen for Gathering, Space to Find Your Own Quiet Corner. Breakfast at the kitchen island, garden doors open on a warm afternoon, and a separate sitting room when the evening calls for a quieter pace: this thoughtfully presented semi-detached townhouse in Chorley brings together the different spaces that make family life work. A kitchen fitted in 2026 forms the centrepiece of its sociable ground floor, while the upper levels introduce a flexible four/five-bedroom arrangement and three bath/shower rooms. Outside, a detached garden office gives the working day a place of its own, with driveway parking for two cars and an electric vehicle charging point adding everyday convenience.

Living Space. The entrance porch creates a useful pause between arriving home and stepping into the hallway, where soft colours, decorative panelling and wood-effect herringbone flooring establish a welcoming first impression. Fitted drawers beneath the stairs make practical use of otherwise awkward space, helping to keep the everyday essentials neatly tucked away. Beyond the hallway, the ground floor opens into a connected kitchen, dining and family space extending from the front of the house towards the garden. There is room here for different activities to share the same setting: a meal around the table, conversation from the sofa, or someone preparing supper at the island. Panelling and a fitted media wall give the living and dining area its own identity within the open layout. Upstairs, the separate sitting room introduces a different atmosphere. Pale panelled walls, carpeting and two windows create an inviting setting for reading, a film or an evening spent away from the activity downstairs. Identified as Bedroom Two on the supplied floorplan, this room also gives the house useful flexibility as household needs change.

Kitchen & Dining. Fitted in 2026, the kitchen combines the familiarity of Shaker-style cabinetry with a substantial central island and pale, delicately veined surfaces. The island’s waterfall-style end makes a striking focal point, while breakfast seating brings friends and family into the conversation without interrupting the preparation space. Tall cupboards, generous drawers and open display shelving balance storage with opportunities to add personal touches. Concealed cupboards beneath the island make further use of the space, and the arrangement of the sink, cooking area and stacked ovens keeps the practical elements within a coherent design. The herringbone-patterned floor continues through the ground-floor living areas, drawing the spaces together. At the rear, French doors and accompanying glazing connect the kitchen directly with the decking. On warmer days, it is easy to imagine drinks moving outside while supper comes together indoors, with the garden becoming a natural extension of the room.

Bedrooms & Bathrooms. The accommodation above is arranged over two floors, with four rooms photographed as bedrooms and the additional first-floor room currently presented as a sitting room. The principal bedroom occupies the front of the first floor. Deep blue-green walls, two windows and a substantial run of sliding wardrobes give it a restful, composed feel, with space around the bed for a comfortable everyday arrangement. A bathroom on this level includes both a bath and a separate shower enclosure. Three further bedrooms occupy the top floor. The front bedroom has fitted wardrobe storage and its own en suite shower room, creating a useful option for guests or a family member who would appreciate greater independence. Two further bedrooms sit to the rear, alongside another bathroom with a bath and separate shower. Having bathroom facilities on both upper levels is a particularly useful part of the layout, helping the household spread out during busy mornings. Electric radiators are fitted in all three bath/shower rooms, while a loft ladder gives access to storage boarding across the middle of the loft.

Outside. The rear garden continues the home’s emphasis on usable, considered spaces. Decking installed in 2026 sits immediately outside the kitchen, creating a setting for an outdoor sofa, relaxed meals or a morning coffee. Beyond it, a central lawn is framed by paving, planted borders and timber fencing. The detached garden office adds another valuable dimension. With power, windows and exterior lighting, it gives home working a physical separation from the main living spaces, while remaining just across the garden. Its timber-clad exterior sits comfortably alongside the planting and separate storage shed. Garden lighting, a rear security light, lighting within the shed and timber bin stores take care of practical details. At the front, the private driveway accommodates two cars, with an electric vehicle charging point beside the entrance. The wooded area opposite adds greenery to the setting.

Location & Lifestyle. This part of Chorley combines an established residential setting with opportunities to spend time outdoors. There is a play park on the development, while Duxbury Woods and the wider Yarrow Valley offer walking routes for days when there is time to explore further. The Birkacre area of Yarrow Valley Country Park also has the Treeface café, making a walk and a stop for something to eat an appealing weekend option. Chorley town centre brings together its markets, independent shops, cafés and restaurants, giving everyday shopping a welcome sense of local character. Families can investigate St George’s Church of England Primary School on Carr Lane and Holy Cross Catholic High School on Myles Standish Way, with admissions subject to the relevant school arrangements. For travel beyond the town, Chorley railway station provides services towards Preston, Bolton and Manchester. Connections to the M61 and M6 broaden the options for commuting and visiting the surrounding region, balancing the home’s residential setting with practical links for the working week.

Viewing Summary. The appeal here lies in how the spaces work together: a kitchen that draws people in, an upstairs sitting room that allows a change of pace, and a garden office that gives work its own place. Combined with three bath/shower rooms, thoughtful storage and improvements completed in 2026, it is a home with the flexibility to accommodate different stages of family life.
