Bungalow for sale in Wigan WN6, 5 Bedroom

True bungalows are consistently in strong demand, and this stunning detached example affords an even more rare opportunity, its generous proportions being large enough to dwarf many executive detached houses, avoiding any doubt that this really is a true family home. The expansive and flowing floor plan extends to in excess of an impressive 2,150 square feet, to include five bedrooms, two reception rooms and two bath/shower rooms, although the beauty of a home of this type, is the flexibility of use, with a new owner able to utilise the living spaces to suit one's individual requirements. The location is every bit as splendid, secreted away along a lengthy, private driveway; one would be forgiven for being unaware of its presence, with the substantial plot enjoying an excellent degree of privacy and seclusion. The quiet residential cul-de-sac is particularly desirable, with homes rarely becoming available, and more widely, the thriving village of Standish has demonstrated itself to be a consistent attraction to prospective buyers, its strong sense of community, and all that it is able to offer its inhabitants, being a particularly strong pull for those looking for a location to raise their family. At its heart, the beautiful Parish Church of St. Wilfrid, the only Grade I listed building within Wigan, as well as other delightful landmarks such as a late medieval cross and stone stocks in the market place, whilst the bustling village centre provides a host of local shops and amenities, including a post office, two banks and three supermarkets. When one is craving something more vibrant still, Wigan town centre is only a short distance away with its diverse range of high street stores, trendy bars and eclectic eateries, which will be perfect for those who enjoy a hectic social calendar. The area boasts a number of highly regarded schools at both primary and secondary level, whilst the older members of the family are also well catered for, with close proximity to the M6 motorway ensuring major commercial centres such as Manchester, Liverpool and Preston are within a reasonable commute.

Internally, the property has been beautifully maintained and presented to a very high standard, entering via the entrance porch and into the reception hallway, and immediately sensing the warm and inviting ambience, which is so prevalent throughout. The quality Oak flooring continues as one steps down into the fabulous 21' lounge, which has more than a feeling of grandeur about it, its feature fireplace with inset coal-effect living flame gas fire infusing a cosy atmosphere, whilst the plethora of windows afford an abundance of natural light, including patio doors providing direct access to the garden, which will be invaluable in the summer months. The neighbouring 20' open plan kitchen/diner also benefits from direct access to the garden, and is a wonderfully sociable entertaining space, with the nominated chef for the evening not needing to be excluded from the fun; fitted with an extensive range of Oak wall and base units with complimentary laminated work surfaces, and equipped with a host of integrated appliances, including electric oven, halogen hob with extractor canopy, microwave, fridge/freezer and dishwasher, whilst there is a most useful separate utility room in which to keep the laundry out of view of unexpected visitors.

The five bedrooms - four excellent doubles and a single - are all bright and appealing, with the 15' master bedroom benefiting from a gorgeous three piece en-suite shower room, with the remainder of the family being well catered for by the main family bathroom, which is fitted with a three piece suite in classic white, comprising of WC, pedestal wash hand basin and panelled corner bath with shower handset attachment.

What makes this home so special is as much about the outside space as its interior, with a simply beautiful plot which must be seen to be appreciated, with the high degree of privacy from all aspects being particularly lovely. Substantial lawned gardens encompass the property, giving endless opportunity for the little ones to explore in safety to their hearts' content, whilst mum and dad can relax with a glass of wine on the stone flagged patio area. Off-road parking facilities are provided for a number of vehicles on the block-paved driveway, which also gives access to the detached double garage. Early viewing strongly advised.
