This quite exceptional five bed double-fronted semi-detached period residence is positively overflowing with character and charm, its elegant façade providing only a glimpse of the size and quality of accommodation which lies hidden beneath its handsome exterior. The property is located in the highly regarded district of Whitley, an area renowned for its pleasing blend of prestige and period homes, whilst being conveniently located only a short drive or bus journey from the bustling centre of Wigan, complete with its diverse shopping, vibrant bars and eclectic restaurants. Excellent schools and the motorway network are also within easy reach, ensuring that this locality is frequently sought-after as an area with much to offer the family unit.

On crossing the property’s threshold, one will be enchanted by the high standard of finish throughout and the abundance of original features, such as beautiful fireplaces, cast-iron radiators, decorative ceilings and cornicing, whilst the warm ambiance infuses the soul, ensuring that it is simply impossible not to sense that this really is a family home, something which cannot simply be replicated through decor, fixtures or fittings, but instead being an enviable quality which is engrained within its make-up.

The property delivers in excess of 1,750 square feet of sumptuous family space, with an expansive floor plan providing well proportioned living spaces throughout, entering via an entrance porch and into the grand reception hallway, with its beautiful original tiled floor and glorious spindled staircase to the first floor creating a truly impressive first impression, whilst the handy off-lying cloakroom/WC will be extremely useful when visitors drop by. One proceeds into the first of the three reception rooms - the main lounge - which is a real lesson in marrying period features with stylish elegance, with highlights including a beautiful feature cast-iron fireplace with walnut-effect surround, gorgeous decorative ceiling, picture rail and wooden flooring, all of which ooze class and create a real inviting atmosphere, whilst the contrasting 16’ family room has a more contemporary vibe, albeit very much in keeping with the style of the property, having its own pretty features, including an open feature fireplace, large bay window to the front elevation and built-in storage units to the alcoves. The delightful dining room has a distinct air of sophistication, with another fabulous open fireplace which our clients have cleverly utilised for wine storage, and which will no doubt be convenient for those frequent dinner parties, perhaps stepping through the uPVC double glazed French doors into the rear garden for an after-dinner cocktail or two, whilst the off-lying kitchen completes the ground floor accommodation, fitted with a comprehensive range of Oak-effect wall and base units with contrasting laminated work surfaces and equipped with a Range-style cooker with extractor canopy.

One ventures up to the first floor via the imposing staircase with its attractive stained glass feature window, and discovers five bedrooms, all of which are bright and appealing, and the marvellous fully tiled family bathroom, re-fitted with a contemporary four piece suite in classic white, comprising of wallmounted vanity wash hand basin, close coupled WC, free-standing bath and separate shower cubicle, which provides a further wow factor to this beautiful home.

Externally, there is a good-sized low-maintenance garden to the rear, comprising of astro-turf and a stone paved patio area, providing a welcome space for those Summer barbeques. Only by internal inspection can the true size and quality of this beautiful family home, and all that it has to offer the growing family, be fully appreciated.
