This most unusual and individual three bed split-level detached lodge-style residence would blend just as seamlessly beside the pistes of the Alps or nestled against a Swiss hillside, as it does amidst the rolling West Lancashire countryside, its continental exterior creating a truly striking first impression and oozing charm and personality. Once inside the split-level interior offers that same charisma, a unique layout with accommodation thoughtfully arranged over three inviting levels and measuring circa 2,850 square feet, providing a spacious home which is ideal for the growing family.

The property is situated in the pretty village of Heskin, renowned for its beautiful countryside, and the property takes full advantage of its picturesque location, with stunning views to the front and rear, and the babbling Syd Brook situated right at the bottom of the garden, which one can appreciate from the outdoor heated swimming pool, the most luxurious of appointments. Despite its rural credentials, the property is far from remote, with easy access to the bustling towns of both Chorley and Wigan, whilst swift access to the motorway network ensures one can travel further afield to major commercial centres such as Manchester and Liverpool, within a reasonable commute.

One enters the accommodation via the entrance porch and proceeds into the welcoming reception hallway with its open tread staircase to the first floor, and immediately one appreciates the feeling of space which accompanies the inviting ambiance. An archway leads through into the dining room, an ideal spot for those formal dinners when one has the urge to entertain, and which provides access into the delightful fully glazed conservatory; a lovely place for relaxation or contemplation whilst enjoying the pretty elevated view over the rear garden and beyond. The adjoining breakfast kitchen boasts a similar view via its large picture window, and at 15’ is large enough to accommodate a dining suite for more informal dining, such as a swift bite to eat before the school run; fitted with a comprehensive range of wall and base units in beech with contrasting tiled work surfaces, and equipped with an integrated AEG double electric oven with halogen hob and extractor canopy.

The three double bedrooms are located to the ground floor, two of which boast ‘Jack and Jill’ style en-suite facilities, which is fitted with a four piece suite comprising of vanity wash hand basin, close coupled WC and panelled bath, whilst there is also a handy separate three piece shower room to cater for the remainder of the household. The ground floor accommodation is completed by an anteroom, which could be utilised for a number of uses, such as a further sitting room or perhaps a study, for those requiring some space to work from home, but which is currently utilised to house the pine built Norpe double sauna, which will be ideal after a dip in the pool. An open tread staircase leads down to the 15’ pool lounge, which is a perfect space for those frequent parties in the Summer months, with patio doors opening directly out to the swimming pool, whilst there is also a sizeable 17’ utility room/changing room complete with double shower cubicle. If one ventures up to the first floor, even more space will be discovered, with a vast 23’ main lounge, complete with pine vaulted ceiling which adds much to the feeling of space. The feature fireplace houses a coal-effect living flame gas fire, whilst there are stunning views to the rear via the large picture window over the surrounding countryside, whilst the front-facing 20’ sun lounge enjoys a similar picturesque aspect.

Externally, the beautifully maintained gardens are a real horticultural treat and sure to be a hit with any green-fingered buyers, being mainly laid to lawn with mature trees and shrubs to the borders. The rear garden boasts a high degree of privacy and seclusion, with a pretty sun terrace on which to relax with a glass of wine or two in the long Summer evenings, whilst there is off-road parking facilities available to the front of the property on the block-paved driveway, which also provides access to the integral single garage. Available with the benefit of no onward chain, we would highly recommend an internal inspection of this home to appreciate the level of space on offer
