Delph Way, Whittle-Le-Woods, PR6

On a corner plot in a quiet Whittle-le-Woods cul-de-sac, this four-bedroom detached home opens at the rear to a south-facing garden. The layout makes good use of that setting. French doors take you straight from the room to the terrace, while a separate door from the recently refitted breakfast kitchen makes it easy to carry lunch outside. At the front, a bay-windowed living room gives the house somewhere to settle in once the doors are closed and the evening draws in.

Living Space. The living room takes in daylight from the front bay and two side windows, with a feature fireplace and wall panelling giving the room character. Glazed double doors connect it to the dining room. Open them when friends are over and there’s room for conversation to carry on across both spaces. Close them and the living room feels comfortably separate, even with the dining table still in use. The entrance hall runs through to the kitchen, with a ground-floor cloakroom and an internal door to the garage. It’s a practical arrangement when you’re coming in from the drive with shopping, muddy boots or wet coats. Karndean flooring is fitted in the hall, cloakroom and kitchen.

Kitchen & Dining. Pale Shaker-style cabinetry, timber-effect worktops and green-grey tiles bring warmth and colour to the refitted kitchen. Tall cupboards sit alongside wide drawers, with a NEFF double oven and combination microwave oven built into the cabinetry. There’s room for a small breakfast table beside the glazed door to the hall, leaving the worktops free for getting dinner ready. The separate dining room has space to leave a full-sized table set up for family meals. Its French doors open directly to the terrace, so on warmer days coffee or lunch can move outside with very little fuss. The kitchen has its own rear door, a small but useful detail when you’re going back for another plate or a jug of water.

Bedrooms & Bathrooms. Four bedrooms open off a windowed landing. The principal bedroom has fitted wardrobes and its own refitted shower room, where blue feature tiling, a matching vanity and a walk-in rainfall shower give the space a distinctive finish. The second bedroom also has fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room, a useful arrangement for guests or a household with overlapping morning routines. The two remaining bedrooms give you scope for children, guests or a desk away from the ground-floor living rooms. They’re served by the refitted family bathroom, finished in soft neutral tiles with a shower over the bath. An enlarged hatch on the landing has a pull-down timber ladder to the part-boarded loft, keeping suitcases and seasonal items within reach.

Outside. The paved terrace follows the back of the house, widening outside the dining room to give a table and chairs their own spot. Its curved edge leads into the lawn, with planted and gravel borders adding texture around the garden. The south-facing aspect makes the terrace a natural place for lunch outside or a pause with a book. There is a sizeable shed and an outside tap At the front, the driveway leads to the integral garage, beside a lawn and established planting that follow the curve of the corner plot.

Location & Lifestyle/ Whittle-le-Woods sits on the A6 between Chorley and Preston. For the working week, Buckshaw Village has a Tesco superstore, and trains from Buckshaw Parkway run directly to Preston and Manchester Piccadilly. Whittle-le-Woods Church of England Primary School and St Chad’s Catholic Primary School are both in the village. Weekends can take a different pace. Cuerden Valley Park has paths through woodland and meadows beside the River Lostock, while the Leeds & Liverpool Canal at Johnson’s Hillock Locks gives you a towpath walk with a different view as you follow the flight of locks. Both make an easy outing to build around lunch back on the terrace.

Viewing Summary. Start in the bay-fronted living room and follow the house through the dining room to the terrace. That route shows how easily the rooms come together when you’re entertaining, while upstairs the two en suites make the four-bedroom layout particularly practical.
