A deceptively spacious 3 bedroom semi-detached dormer style house which is set in the heart of much sought after Parbold Village. The property has the added benefit of having no further chain delay

The property is located within easy access of Parbold village centre and therefore enjoys a very desirable location whilst being situated close to numerous local amenities. The house is set within a short distance of Parbold railway station which is situated upon the Southport to Manchester line and therefore provides direct easy access into Wigan, Southport, Manchester and beyond.

The accommodation which is light and flexible throughout briefly comprises; entrance porch, hallway, lounge, dining room, fitted kitchen, double bedroom & bathroom suite to the ground floor. To the first floor are two further well proportioned bedrooms and loft/eaves storage, whilst to the exterior are private gardens to the front & rear, along with drive & garage parking.

The property further benefits from the addition of double glazed windows, gas central heating and no further chain delay.

Some modernisation would be required.
