Description
Approached via a private driveway, the property offers ample off-road parking, ensuring both convenience and privacy. The exterior immediately impresses, with a characterful façade that hints at the stylish interior within. The plot itself is well-proportioned, offering a sense of space and seclusion while remaining within easy reach of local amenities and transport links.
Stepping inside, the home unfolds into a carefully designed layout that balances open-plan functionality with more defined living areas. The ground floor enjoys two dedicated reception rooms, offering flexibility depending on lifestyle needs. The main lounge is particularly spacious, providing a comfortable setting for relaxing or socialising, with a high-quality finish that enhances the room’s welcoming feel. The second reception space could be ideal as a snug, home office, or even a formal dining room, depending on requirements.
The rear of the property is dedicated to a superbly appointed modern kitchen, which serves as the heart of the home. Fitted with an array of sleek wall, base, and tower units, the space is well-designed for both everyday use and entertaining. Contrasting work surfaces add a stylish touch, while a feature breakfast bar creates a natural gathering point. A range of integrated appliances ensures a streamlined look, with practical storage solutions incorporated throughout. A ground floor shower room completes this level, offering convenience for guests or as an additional facility for busy households.
Upstairs, the first floor offers four well-proportioned family bedrooms, each thoughtfully decorated to a high standard. The main bedroom is particularly impressive, benefiting from a large walk-in wardrobe that provides ample storage without compromising on space. The remaining bedrooms are equally well-sized, making them suitable for children, guests, or even a dedicated dressing room or study if required. A well-appointed main family bathroom serves the property, featuring a bath, WC, and vanity wash hand basin, all set within a contemporary design that complements the home’s overall aesthetic.
Externally, the property enjoys a private and well-established wrap-around plot that is not directly overlooked. A spacious patio terrace provides an ideal space for outdoor seating and entertaining, while well-maintained turfed lawns are bordered by a variety of mature plants and shrubs, adding to the overall charm and privacy of the setting. The outdoor space is both practical and low maintenance, offering a pleasant environment without requiring excessive upkeep.
Skelmersdale is an area that has grown in popularity thanks to its excellent transport connections and close proximity to nearby towns such as Ormskirk and Wigan. White Moss Road itself enjoys a peaceful setting while remaining within easy reach of everyday amenities, including well-regarded schools, supermarkets, and leisure facilities. For those who commute, the M58 motorway is just a short drive away, providing quick and easy access to Liverpool, Manchester, and beyond. With gas central heating, double glazing, and an exceptional finish throughout, this home offers a perfect blend of character and modern convenience. Internal inspection is highly advised to fully appreciate the quality and space on offer.

Rent-driven metrics
Based on OpenRent comparables.
- Rent ratio — Monthly rent ÷ purchase price (1% rule). 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak for cashflow.

- Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
- Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
- Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
- Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
- ROI — Annual profit ÷ cash in (deposit + 4% purchase costs).
