Smithy Lane, Scarisbrick, L40

This six-bedroom detached house in a semi-rural part of Scarisbrick offers substantial accommodation, character features and scope for selective modernisation. The entrance hall has stone flooring, exposed brickwork, timber doors and beams, with several reception rooms providing options for formal dining, everyday living, hobbies or working from home. The principal living room is spacious and naturally lit, while other sitting rooms include exposed brick fireplaces and a wood-burning stove. There are two kitchen areas: a larger kitchen with extensive traditional cabinetry and an informal dining space, and a second kitchen with shaker-style units and access to the garden. Upstairs, six bedrooms include a room currently arranged as an office, which could be used as a bedroom if required. The principal bedroom has fitted storage and an en-suite, alongside a family bathroom and a separate shower room. The property is described as well maintained, although some areas would benefit from modernisation. Outside, established gardens include lawns, mature planting and paved seating areas. The listing also notes outbuildings, an outdoor toilet, garaging and extensive off-road parking. The outbuildings may suit storage, workshop or hobby use; any business use would require the relevant consents.
