Detached bungalow for sale in Ormskirk L40, 5 Bedroom

This immaculately presented detached dormer bungalow occupies a niche place in the market place, not only affording vast levels of space internally, which includes up to five reception rooms or five bedrooms and three bath/shower rooms, dependent on a new owner's requirements, but also being of a type that is in consistently high demand due to their limited supply, bungalows being a rare commodity and particular ones in such beautiful condition and affording such flexibility. We would anticipate very strong interest in this fine example, which has been the subject of a comprehensive programme of renovation and refurbishment, and from what was, up to twelve months ago, a rather dated true bungalow, a fabulous re-designed two storey home has been produced. Amongst a host of aesthetic improvements, such as a new quality fitted kitchen and new sanitary ware, major electrical and plumbing works have been completed, including the installation of a new gas central heating system and a re-configuration of the original layout, to create a fabulous re-worked floor plan which offers boundless flexibility of use and integrates seamlessly with the new first floor accommodation, flowing perfectly from one generously proportioned living space to the next and extending to in excess of a truly impressive 2,835 square feet in total. Highfield integrates perfectly with its peaceful and salubrious surroundings, enjoying an open aspect to the rear and occupying a substantial private plot of circa 0.7 acres on this high profile and extremely prestigious country lane within the picturesque and extremely sought-after West Lancashire village of Mawdesley, renowned for offering old world charm and a quality lifestyle to its fortunate inhabitants, as well as a pleasing blend of prestige, character and country homes amidst stunning countryside. Despite this real feeling of rural living, the position is far from remote, with a number of other surrounding villages close-by, including Parbold and Eccleston, which offer all the required shops, amenities and bars/eateries one could desire, whilst swift links to surrounding towns and cities are available via the M6 motorway, which will be most welcome for those with a commute to consider, ensuring one can enjoy the aspiration country life without the fear of isolation.
The internal accommodation brims with natural light throughout, but no more so than in the welcoming entrance hallway, accessed via the storm porch, which has a distinct contemporary feel, the staircase to the first floor drawing one's eye up to the galleried landing with its glazed balustrade, which makes a lovely first impression for visitors. The Oak flooring continues through into the superb 27' lounge, which stretches the full depth of the property and truly impresses with its vast proportions, complete with a feature fireplace and direct access to the garden via uPVC double glazed patio doors, which will be most useful in the warm summer months. Two further 16' reception rooms are located to the front elevation, as well as an additional 12' room to the rear, affording the potential for the creation of a sitting room, formal dining room and/or playroom, or perhaps a study for those who require some space to work from home, however, these could also be utilised as bedrooms, if so required, due to the nature of the property, whether one is accommodating a large traditional family unit, or indeed a more specialised one, such as considering the needs of an elderly or disabled relative. The hub of this home is undoubtedly the 30' open plan kitchen/diner/family room, complete with vaulted ceiling and off-lying conservatory and side porch, which is the epitome of modern day living, the perfect space in which all generations can gather together or a fabulous room for entertaining even the most populous of gatherings; being fitted with a range of high-gloss wall and base units in white with contrasting slate work surfaces, incorporating a breakfast bar and a host of integrated Neff appliances, including high-level double electric oven, halogen hob and extractor canopy. The ground floor is completed by the main house bathroom, which is fitted with a three piece suite in classic white, comprising of WC, pedestal wash hand basin and panelled bath with overhead shower. If one ventures up to the first floor, the galleried landing provides access to two large 19' bedrooms, with bedroom two benefiting from a private three piece en-suite shower room and the master suite boasting a 12' dressing room/nursery, as well as a private three piece en-suite bathroom.
Externally, the beautiful plot affords sizeable wrap-around gardens to three sides, with expansive lawns and mature trees and shrubs to the borders, with the rear garden being secure and benefiting from a water feature, a paved patio area for those al-fresco dining experiences and a private aspect over the pretty surrounding countryside. An abundance of off-road parking is provided on the substantial driveway, which also provides access to two double garages. Available with the benefit of no onward chain, we must stress in the strongest of terms the importance of a swift inspection of this beautiful home to avoid disappointment.
