Description

Tucked discreetly behind No. 408 Wigan Road, this exceptional five-bedroom detached family home enjoys a secluded position surrounded by approximately 4.1 acres of private, green countryside. Offering the rare combination of rural tranquillity and convenience, this spacious property is a haven for families, multigenerational living, or anyone seeking a peaceful outdoor lifestyle—right on the fringe of Westhoughton.

Peaceful, Private, and Full of Possibility
Set back from the road, the property is accessed via a private drive, opening into a wide forecourt with a detached double garage and beautifully maintained gardens that wrap around the home. Beyond, the expansive grounds provide enormous potential for those with animals, equestrian interests, or a passion for outdoor living—offering space for paddocks, vegetable gardens, or lazy afternoon walks across your very own meadow.

Room to Grow, Space to Breathe
Step into a light-filled and generously sized home that’s thoughtfully designed for the rhythm of family life. The layout unfolds seamlessly across three adaptable reception rooms—each offering its own charm and endless possibilities, whether you’re looking to unwind, entertain, or carve out peaceful corners for work or study.

To the right, the main living room welcomes you with triple-aspect windows that flood the space with natural light and provide sweeping garden views. A characterful wood-burning stove, set in a classic stone surround, adds a cosy focal point—perfect for quiet evenings or lively family gatherings.

Adjacent to this, the formal dining room features elegant Amtico flooring and picturesque views across the surrounding countryside and fields—an ideal spot for hosting dinner parties or enjoying unhurried family meals.

Situated on the opposite side of the ground floor, this generous-sized third reception room offers outstanding versatility—whether used as an expansive living area, a dedicated home office, a children's playroom, or even a salon or treatment room for those running a business from home, it can be tailored to suit your lifestyle.

Heart of the Home: Kitchen & Utility
Step into a warm and welcoming kitchen that blends functionality with charm. Finished in classic oak tones, this family-sized space is fitted with an extensive range of shaker style wall and base units offering both open and glass-fronted cabinetry—perfect for showcasing your favourite pieces. A generous countertop layout provides ample prep space for cooking enthusiasts, while the tiled splashbacks and under-cabinet lighting bring practicality with a touch of style.

Centrally positioned is a statement range-style cooker with stainless steel splashback and extractor—ideal for everything from Sunday roasts to impromptu baking sessions. The space is beautifully illuminated by natural light streaming through a window and French doors that opens onto a sunny porch with tranquil views of the garden.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a handy utility room, equipped with plumbing for additional appliances and extra worktop space—keeping laundry days organised and mess out of sight. A practical downstairs WC sits just off the utility—ideal for guests and everyday ease.

Serene Bedrooms with Garden & Countryside Views
Ascend to the first floor where five thoughtfully arranged bedrooms offer a harmonious blend of comfort, privacy, and versatility.

The main bedroom stretches the full depth of the home, enjoying dual-aspect windows that frame tranquil views of both the front garden and the leafy rear plot. Fitted wardrobes, a dressing table, drawers, and matching bedside units provide elegant and practical storage. This restful retreat is complemented by a private en-suite, complete with a shower, pedestal wash basin, and WC, all enjoying peaceful vistas across the grounds.

Bedrooms two and three are ideal for siblings or guests, connected by a convenient Jack and Jill en-suite shower room, ensuring privacy while maintaining easy access.

Bedroom four is a spacious double with fitted wardrobes, offering ample room for relaxation or study, while bedroom five, currently arranged as a home office, lends itself perfectly as a nursery or single guest room.

All rooms are neutrally decorated, allowing the panoramic views across the surrounding fields and landscaped gardens—belonging to the property—to take centre stage.

Completing the upstairs is a stylish three-piece family bathroom, featuring a WC, pedestal sink, and a panelled bath with classic shower attachment, finished with timeless cream-toned tiling for a warm, welcoming feel.

Outside: An Oasis of Green
With lawns that stretch seamlessly into the countryside and secure boundaries enclosing the main garden, the outdoor space is a dream for anyone seeking space to breathe. Whether hosting summer barbecues on the patio, exploring your own private field, or simply enjoying a morning coffee with birdsong, this home brings nature right to your doorstep.

A handy brick outbuilding adds further practicality—ideal for storage, a workshop, or even conversion into a home office or studio space.

There’s scope for further landscaping, vegetable plots, or even a smallholding setup—this land truly offers a canvas for country living, tailored to your needs.

A Country Setting with Townside Convenience
Despite its tranquil surroundings, this home remains remarkably well-connected. Westhoughton, Hindley and Daisy Hill stations are within easy reach, making commuting into Manchester or further afield stress-free. The M61 is nearby too, offering quick road connections.

You’ll also find a great selection of schools, nurseries, shops, and sports facilities all close by—ideal for active families or those looking to settle in a well-supported community.
