Spacious 3 bed detached true bungalow in one of West-Lancashire's most desirable locations.
Regan & Hallworth are delighted to offer a rare opportunity to purchase an appealing unique detached bungalow with huge modernisation/redevelopment potential set back behind a generous lawned front garden and its own private driveway off the highly prized Ridley Lane in one of the county's most desirable villages.
The bungalow boasts a substantial footprint comprising of just over 1,450 square feet of 'one-floor' living space that undoubtedly requires modernisation but has huge potential and already boasts gas central heating, uPVC double glazing and a layout that would appeal to a wide range of buyers incorporating a large open plan design with both a spacious lounge and kitchen diner, 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
Ridley Lane has undergone huge redevelopment with many of the properties significantly upgraded recently, firmly establishing itself as one of the most highly coveted addresses in West Lancashire. 15 Ridley Lane is one of the last few remaining properties to offer this potential and therefore we urge buyers to act swiftly to avoid missing out on this excellent opportunity.
Locally there are some gorgeous countryside walks right from the doorstep; a couple of circular routes down the local lanes can take around 30mins or for the more adventurous, Harrock Hill is just a 30 min walk away (or 2 min drive if you want to conserve all your energy for the hill itself!) and Bluebell Woods, just 20 minutes. The Delph diving centre is only a 20 minute walk away and Cedar Farm, Owd Barn, the village “High Street” which has the local SPAR and Post Office, plus Heskin Hall are all also close enough to walk to. There’s a good bus service running throughout the village and Rufford or Parbold have train stations operating a direct service into Manchester. Local pubs and restaurants within walking distance include the Eagle & Child in Bispham and the Red Lion in Mawdesley village. Verdes, The Windmill and the Corner House are some other eateries a short drive away which we’d highly recommend. There’s a good selection of grocers and butchers nearby too, along with a fresh fish van which you can book to come to your doorstep. Sainsbury’s is just a 5/10 minute drive away in Eccleston and other nearby food retailers include Booths (Burscough or Tarleton), Tesco (Leyland or Euxton), Aldi (Burscough or Standish) and Asda (Chorley).
