About this listing

Offered to the market with **no onward chain**, this is a truly rare opportunity to acquire one of Winstanley Road's most substantial and characterful family homes. Occupying a magnificent plot and extending to approximately 2,600 square feet, this impressive five-bedroom detached residence has remained within the same family since the 1960s, presenting purchasers with the chance to secure a property of genuine heritage, exceptional proportions and enormous future potential. Set back from the road behind a generous driveway, the property immediately impresses with its commanding presence and extensive accommodation. Internally, the home offers a wealth of versatile living space perfectly suited to growing families, multi-generational living or buyers seeking a property they can enhance and personalise over time. The ground floor accommodation centres around three spacious reception rooms, each offering flexibility for modern family life. The welcoming lounge enjoys excellent proportions and provides a comfortable setting for everyday living, whilst the formal dining room is ideal for entertaining family and friends. A separate sitting room offers further versatility and could easily serve as a snug, home office, playroom or additional reception space, whilst the patio doors provide a stunning view of the rear grounds and flood the space with natural light. Without doubt, one of the standout features of the home is the exceptionally large kitchen measuring over 26 feet in length. Providing ample room for cooking, dining and socialising, this impressive space offers huge potential to create a spectacular open-plan family hub. Similarly to the reception room, patio doors lead directly onto the garden, allowing natural light to flood the room and creating a seamless connection between the house and the outdoors. To the first floor, the property boasts four well-proportioned bedrooms together with a family bathroom. The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room and is complemented by an adjoining dressing area, creating an excellent private suite. The remaining bedrooms are all generously sized and capable of accommodating family members, guests or home-working requirements with ease. A staircase rises to the second floor where a fifth bedroom and additional loft storage space can be found, offering further flexibility and making this home ideal for larger families. Externally, the grounds are simply exceptional! The rear garden represents a significant feature of the property and is rarely found within the local market. Stretching away from the house, the mature plot offers extensive lawns, established trees, colourful planting and a delightful pond feature which creates a peaceful focal point. The size and privacy of the garden provide endless possibilities for outdoor entertaining, children's play areas or gardening enthusiasts. Properties offering gardens of this scale on Winstanley Road and surrounding area's are exceptionally scarce. Practicality is equally well catered for with a substantial garage, additional original garage/workshop, extensive driveway parking and a variety of storage options, making the property as functional as it is impressive. The location remains one of Billinge's most sought-after residential settings. Winstanley Road is renowned for its attractive homes, generous plots and convenient access to a wealth of local amenities. Excellent primary and secondary schooling can be found nearby, including Orrell Newfold Community Primary School, St James' Catholic Primary School, Orrell Holgate Academy, Up Holland High School and St Peter's Catholic High School. Winstanley College, one of the region's most highly regarded sixth-form colleges, is also within easy reach. For commuters, the property is exceptionally well placed with Orrell Railway Station situated approximately half a mile away, providing convenient rail connections across the North West. Regular bus services operate along Winstanley Road, while the nearby A571, A49 and M6 motorway network offer straightforward access to Wigan, St Helens, Liverpool, Manchester and beyond. Residents also enjoy immediate access to some of the area's most picturesque countryside. Billinge Hill, local woodland walks, country lanes and open green spaces provide excellent opportunities for walking, running, cycling and enjoying the outdoors, all whilst remaining within easy reach of village amenities, supermarkets, restaurants, healthcare facilities and leisure attractions. Properties of this scale, plot size and pedigree seldom come to the open market. Combining over six decades of family ownership, substantial accommodation, extensive gardens, multiple reception rooms, five bedrooms and outstanding scope for future enhancement, Winstanley Road represents a truly one-of-a-kind opportunity to create an exceptional forever home in one of Billinge's most desirable locations. Early viewing is strongly recommended.
