Bold Lane, Aughton, L39

A handsome red brick period house set within approximately one acre of mature gardens and orchard, on one of Aughton’s most established country lanes. Offering 2,804 sq ft of well-proportioned family accommodation across two floors, the house has four reception rooms, five bedrooms and two bathrooms, with green belt countryside on its doorstep and Town Green village just a few minutes away.

The House

The house sits well back from the lane, approached by a sweeping driveway through lawned gardens. Its frontage is a fine example of its era, with a deep bay window, tall sash-style windows and a timber canopy porch on carved brackets framing the front door.

Inside, a grand central hallway sets the tone, with a traditional staircase rising from the hall and generous ceiling heights carried throughout the ground floor. Period character remains in abundance, including ornate decorative plasterwork, deep coving, original fireplaces and a wide arched opening that links the principal living rooms and draws light through from front to back.

There are four reception rooms, giving a family real choice in how they live. The bay-fronted reception room and lounge are both substantial rooms, the sitting room opens through the arch from the lounge, and the dining room, with its exposed ceiling beams, sits beside the kitchen for easy everyday living. A conservatory looks out over the gardens. The kitchen has been updated and is complemented by a separate pantry, a utility room and a ground floor WC.

Upstairs, a long landing leads to five bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from a dressing area and an en suite, and there is a family bathroom serving the remaining rooms. Both bathrooms have been updated. The bedrooms are well sized, with the rear rooms enjoying open views across the garden to the countryside beyond.

Outside

The grounds are a real highlight. The gardens extend to approximately one acre and are mostly laid to open lawn, bordered by mature hedging and planted beds, with an established orchard of fruit trees to the rear. There is a kitchen garden area and a greenhouse for those who enjoy growing their own, along with plenty of room for children to play.

A wide driveway provides ample parking and leads to a substantial detached garage, a large carport and additional storage, offering excellent space for vehicles, a workshop or hobbies.
