Property description
Churcher Estates are proud to present this outstanding four-bedroom detached residence, brimming with character and nestled on the highly desirable Prescot Road in Aughton. Perfectly located just a short drive from Ormskirk town centre and within easy reach of excellent schools, local amenities, and transport links, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a charming family home on one of the area's most prestigious roads.
Set back from the road and framed by mature hedges, the property makes a lasting first impression. The front garden is beautifully landscaped with lush lawns, well-stocked borders, and established trees offering shade and privacy.
As you step through the front door, you're immediately greeted by an exceptional entrance hallway that radiates warmth, elegance, and period splendour. The space is a true statement of the home's character, with stunning original features preserved to an impressive standard.
The walls are adorned with rich, dark timber panelling, adding depth, warmth, and a sense of craftsmanship that's rarely seen in modern homes. Ornate carved detailing runs along the dado rails and architraves, while the high ceilings enhance the sense of space and grandeur.
To the side, a beautifully turned wooden staircase ascends to the upper floors, its polished banister and sculpted newel posts offering a focal point of the hallway. A series of original stained and leaded-glass windows line the stairwell, softly diffusing natural light and casting colourful patterns across the timberwork, further enhancing the room's refined atmosphere. Underfoot, the flooring continues the traditional theme-while currently carpeted, the hallway preserves the stunning parquet flooring found throughout the rest of the ground floor, including the reception rooms and cloakroom. Subtle ceiling cornicing and a decorative arch complete the picture, combining with the overall symmetry and proportion of the hall to create a truly impressive first impression.
To the front of the home, the formal dining room is a beautifully proportioned space that exudes character and elegance. A large bay window dominates the front wall, dressed in original leaded and stained-glass upper panes that bathe the room in soft, dappled light-creating a warm and inviting ambiance throughout the day. High ceilings with decorative coving enhance the feeling of space, while the neutral décor allows the period features to take centre stage.
A traditional fireplace with an ornate surround provides a charming focal point, ideal for cosy dinners and elegant entertaining alike. The generous proportions of the room easily accommodate a large dining table and sideboard or dresser, making it perfect for hosting family gatherings or special occasions in style.
To the rear of the home lies the dual-aspect lounge-an expansive and beautifully appointed living space that stretches the full depth of the property. Undoubtedly one of the standout features of the home, this room offers an exceptional setting for both everyday living and refined entertaining. It is thoughtfully zoned into two distinct yet seamlessly connected areas.
To the front of the lounge, a large bay window with leaded and stained-glass upper panes floods the room with natural light while framing attractive views over the side of the home. This welcoming space is perfect for relaxed seating, centred around a traditional fireplace that provides both charm and a cosy focal point.
To the rear, the room flows into a quieter, more tranquil space-perfect for reading, music, or simply unwinding. French doors open out to the rear patio, enhancing the sense of light and offering a lovely connection to the garden, ideal for indoor-outdoor living in warmer months. This area also lends itself perfectly to use as a library, piano room, or an additional sitting area depending on lifestyle needs.
The kitchen is well-equipped, featuring a range of classic shaker-style cabinets and solid work surfaces, offering excellent storage and ample preparation space. Tiled splashbacks add a timeless, clean finish, while a combination of freestanding and integrated appliances cater to modern needs without compromising the traditional aesthetic. A wide opening lead into a spacious breakfast area-bathed in natural light thanks to dual-aspect windows that overlook the rear garden. This space provides the ideal setting for family meals or morning coffee, with enough room for a large table and chairs.
The kitchen also provides direct access to a useful utility room, keeping laundry appliances and white goods neatly tucked away from the main living areas. Completing the ground floor is a convenient WC, ideally positioned off the hallway.
The first floor is accessed via the grand, sweeping staircase that opens onto the spacious landing, bathed in light from the beautiful leaded and stained-glass window. This generous central space enhances the feeling of openness and flow on the upper level.
There are three bright and well-proportioned bedrooms, all filled with natural light and offering fantastic potential to personalise. The principal bedroom enjoys dual-aspect views to the side and rear, while the third bedroom benefits from its own private ensuite shower room-ideal for guests or growing families. The ensuite features a full-size bath, pedestal basin, WC, and vintage brass fittings-retaining a timeless charm with potential to modernise.
The standout feature of the upper floor is the stylish main family bathroom, which is particularly spacious and thoughtfully designed. It includes a separate corner shower enclosure, a modern full-size bath, pedestal basin, WC, and contemporary tiling throughout, offering a fresh and functional space ready for immediate use. A second, smaller family bathroom provides additional convenience and flexibility, and with its position adjacent to the second bedroom, could be reconfigured into a luxurious ensuite if desired.
Together, the layout offers excellent versatility, with bright, generous rooms throughout-all waiting for someone to add their own stamp.
A real highlight of this home is the second floor, offering a spacious fourth bedroom and a private lounge/snug area. This flexible upper floor makes an ideal retreat for a teenager, home office suite, or guest accommodation.
Externally, the property sits proudly within beautifully maintained gardens to the front, side, and rear-each thoughtfully designed to offer both aesthetic appeal and practical function.
To the front, a generously sized garden showcases a lush lawn bordered by raised, well-stocked beds filled with mature trees and colourful flowering shrubs. Neatly clipped hedging frames the space, providing a sense of privacy and structure, while wrought iron gates grant access to the side of the home. A door opens into a useful garden store, and a timber gate leads through to the rear garden, enhancing the overall flow and functionality of the outdoor space.
The side aspect includes a well-tended lawn complemented by established planting, offering a delightful green outlook. On the opposite side, a gravelled garden area is bordered by mature shrubs, adding texture and visual interest.
To the rear, the garden is designed with low maintenance in mind and is fully paved-ideal for outdoor entertaining and everyday relaxation. A designated seating area is perfect for enjoying the sunshine, while raised beds introduce greenery and charm. A timber summerhouse provides a cosy retreat or additional storage, with further practicality offered by a coal store and garden shed. A rear door offers direct access to the driveway and garage, completing this well-organised and versatile outdoor setting.
This is a substantial and rarely available home that blends space, style, and original character with great potential for a growing family. Viewing is essential to appreciate the beauty, scale, and setting of this exceptional property.
