Located on this ever-popular and established estate, and within walking distance of both St Wilfrid's Primary School and the centre of Standish village, this attractive three-bedroom detached home occupies a small and exclusive cul-de-sac setting. Having been in the same ownership since new, the property presents an ideal opportunity for first-time buyers or small families. Whilst requiring some modernisation, it is offered with no onward chain and at a realistic asking price, making it an excellent prospect for those looking to create a home to their own taste. The accommodation begins with an entrance hallway, featuring a staircase rising to the first floor and access to a convenient ground-floor cloakroom. The main living space flows from the front to the rear of the property, incorporating both lounge and dining areas, centred around a feature fireplace. Sliding patio doors provide direct access to the rear garden, and there is also a useful understairs storage cupboard. The kitchen is positioned to the rear, adjoining the dining area, and is fitted with a range of wall and base units, with a door leading out to the south-facing garden. To the first floor, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom fitted with a three-piece suite, including a corner shower. The original design of the property also allowed for an en-suite shower room to the principal bedroom; however, the current owners opted to utilise this space as a walk-in wardrobe. Externally, a flagged driveway bordered by lawns provides off-road parking and leads to a single detached brick-built garage with a pitched roof, which can also be accessed via a pedestrian door from the rear. The rear garden is private, secure, and not directly overlooked, being mainly laid to lawn. Standish village is just a short walk away, offering a variety of independent shops, bars, cafés, supermarkets, and highly regarded schools. The area also benefits from excellent transport links, with easy access to both the M6 and M61 motorway networks.
