About this home

Arnold & Phillips are delighted to present this two/three bedroom semi-detached true bungalow, positioned attractively on Moor Drive, a quiet cul-de-sac in a well-regarded part of Skelmersdale, West Lancs. The setting has a calm, tucked-away feel, yet you’re still within easy reach of everyday essentials, making it a practical base for a range of buyers. What stands out straight away is the flexibility the property offers, not only within the main bungalow itself, but also with the addition of a separate one-bedroom annexe, giving you options that are hard to find in this price bracket. The property is approached via a private driveway that provides comfortable off-road parking. As you walk up to the bungalow you get a sense of how well set back it is from passing traffic, and the frontage has a simple, low-maintenance layout that keeps upkeep to a minimum. Stepping inside, the entrance leads you into a home that feels ready to be lived in straight away, while still offering scope for someone to put their own stamp on it over time. The main living room sits to the front and is a generous space, shaped in a way that makes arranging furniture straightforward. The feature fireplace provides a natural focal point, and the room has an easy, relaxed feel that would suit both quieter evenings and welcoming guests. From here, the layout flows neatly through the bungalow without feeling cramped, and each room has a clear purpose while still allowing for adaptability. Two well-sized double bedrooms sit to the left of the property, each offering enough floor space to accommodate larger furniture without feeling tight. Both rooms lend themselves well to a variety of layouts, whether you’d prefer a more traditional bedroom setup or want to incorporate a workspace. Serving these rooms is a modern bathroom fitted with a corner shower, WC and wash hand basin, all arranged sensibly to maximise the usable space. To the rear, the fitted dining kitchen offers a practical working layout with a selection of wall, base and tower units, along with integrated appliances. While the décor could benefit from some cosmetic refreshment, the fundamentals are all in place, and the kitchen’s size makes it easy to imagine how a few updates could transform it into a standout feature of the home. Adjoining this room is a conservatory, which functions well as an additional sitting or dining area. It connects nicely to the garden and adds another flexible corner of the house where people naturally tend to gather. One of the most appealing aspects of the property is the detached one-bedroom annexe positioned to the side. This is not a small outbuilding but a generously proportioned extension of the home, offering a large double bedroom with a modern en-suite. The open-plan living kitchen has a clean, contemporary feel, fitted with modern units and integrated appliances, and offers enough space for both seating and dining areas. Its design makes the annexe ideal for extended family, guests, or even a private workspace. If your lifestyle calls for a home gym, an office away from the main house, or a dedicated hobby room, this building gives you the freedom to tailor it to your needs. The rear garden is another strong feature. It is established and private, mostly laid to lawn, with a patio area that provides plenty of room for outdoor eating and relaxed gatherings. The space is manageable but still offers enough lawn for children to play or for those who enjoy gardening to get creative. It’s the sort of garden that feels easy to keep tidy while still offering pockets of interest. Moor Drive sits in a convenient part of Skelmersdale, with local amenities close by, including everyday shops, cafés and essential services. Transport links are strong, making commuting to surrounding towns straightforward, and there are well-rated schools within easy reach. The area is known for being practical and friendly, with plenty of green spaces dotted around for dog walking or weekend strolls. It’s a location that suits a wide range of lifestyles, from those downsizing to buyers needing multi-generational living solutions.
