Churcher Estates are excited to present this stunning four bedroom detached property to the open market. Located in the heart of Burscough Village, just a few minutes walk from the extremely popular high street with a wealth of amenities such as supermarkets, boutique shops and the wharf. Other benefits to this property are the local schools, doctors surgery and fantastic transport links to the north west either by car or train.

We are delighted to present this immaculate four-bedroom detached house, designed for modern living and comfort.

As you enter, you're welcomed by a light and airy hallway that sets the tone for the rest of the property. On the ground floor, the lounge is situated at the front right of the house, featuring neutral décor and an elegant herringbone floor that adds a touch of sophistication. The kitchen diner spans the back of the property, showcasing a contemporary light grey Shaker-style kitchen, complete with integrated appliances. A large window floods the space with natural light, and bar stools create a casual dining area, while a separate dining space ensures that you can host gatherings with ease. Double doors provide seamless access to the rear garden, further enhancing the connection between indoor and outdoor living. Additionally, there's a conveniently located utility room featuring matching units, a downstairs WC, and access to the garage at the front of the property.

Ascending to the first floor, you'll find four spacious double bedrooms. The main bedroom benefits from an ensuite, while three of the bedrooms come with fitted wardrobes for optimal storage. The family bathroom is well-appointed, featuring a bath, a separate shower, a sink, and a WC.

Externally, the property offers a front driveway that accommodates multiple vehicles and a low-maintenance laid lawn. A gate provides access to the rear, where you will discover a newly landscaped garden. The south facing rear garden features stone flags and a patio area, complemented with stylish Astroturf, perfect for outdoor relaxation.

This exceptional property is finished to a spectacular standard throughout, making it an ideal family home in a desirable location. Don't miss out on the opportunity to make this beautiful house your new home.
