Meticulously extended and thoughtfully renovated by its previous owners, this 19th century cootage on Rainford Road offers so much more than its charming, chocolate-box exterior suggests.

Boasting proportions larger than most three-bedroom homes, this residence has been reimagined to deliver luxurious two-bedroom living. The layout provides an abundance of living and entertaining space, highlighted by a stunning open plan living and dining kitchen with a central feature fireplace and multi-fuel fire, two charming reception rooms brimming with character, a bespoke fitted utility room & full-sized bathroom on the ground floor. Upstairs there are two double bedrooms, an ensuite bathroom off the rear bedroom plus a large loft space over the kitchen accessed through a door on the landing which provides valuable storage. We are advised that the kitchen extension was built with suitable footings to build a full floor above providing potential to extend and convert the side of the house to create extra bedrooms and/or bathrooms (subject to necessary planning approval).

Benefiting from good quality double glazing and a smart engineered heating system comprising conventional central heating with radiators in the old part of the house and piped underfloor heating in the new extension - this is now very much a house built and designed for 21st century living.

This exceptional home is sure to appeal to a broad spectrum of buyers seeking spacious, stylish, and character-filled accommodation.

The exterior space is equally impressive, featuring extensive gardens to the front, side, and rear, complemented by various high-quality outbuildings, including a outside toilet and a substantial new garage built to fit a caravan or mobile home and incorporating a superb, well-equipped workshop area.

Situated on the boundary of Bickerstatte and Rainford, this property enjoys picturesque rural views to both the front and rear. Set well back from the Rainford By-Pass, it offers the perfect balance of tranquility and convenience, with easy access to a range of amenities in the surrounding villages.
Additionally, Ormskirk town and Liverpool city centre are effortlessly reached via local train services or a drive of less than 20 minutes, making this location ideal for commuters and those seeking accessibility alongside peaceful countryside living.

Please note that the property is in a semi-rural location so is warmed but oil fired central heating. There is no gas but is on mains drains (not a septic tank). The tenure is freehold and the property is available with no chain delay.
