Orrell Road, Orrell, Wigan, WN5 8HB

Nestled on Orrell Road in the much-sought after Orrell area of Wigan, this striking four-bedroom semi-detached home offers a rare blend of period charm, generous proportions and exceptional convenience. Its history only heightens its character - once serving as a doctor's surgery, the building retains echoes of its past in its lofty ceilings, elegant detailing and sense of presence, giving it a uniquely distinguished feel.

The location is outstanding: just a stone’s throw from major motorway connections, this property is ideal for commuters. Local schools, shops and amenities are all within easy reach, making daily life effortless. Approaching the home, you’re greeted by a handsome frontage - tall, imposing, and full of character that promises something special inside. The frontage also includes off-road parking for two cars, a practical bonus in this desirable area.

As you step through the entrance, you’re met by a majestic hallway, lined with traditional panelling and flooded with natural light. The sightline draws you through to the far end of the kitchen, hinting at the impressive scale of the home. To the front, the lounge is both inviting and elegant with high ceilings soar overhead, a graceful bay window frames the space, and a feature fireplace provides a focal point steeped in history. At the rear, there is a dining room of equal stature, with direct access to the garden, making it ideal for entertaining or family dinners. The kitchen occupies the rear and is long, bright and spacious. There’s room for a casual seating or breakfast area. Plenty of counter and cabinet space (including feature shelving) helps it feel welcoming and homely. Beyond the kitchen is a utility area for extra storage and white goods, with a practical downstairs WC tucked adjacent.

Ascending the staircase, you’ll continue to notice exquisite coving and detailing that carry through to the upper level. There are four generously proportioned bedrooms, all boasting high ceilings and a gracious, airy feel. The main bedroom and front bedroom retain their original fireplaces — charming reminders of the building’s storied past. The main bathroom is well sized, appointed with a walk-in shower on one side, a bath on the other, “his and hers” sinks in the centre, and a WC — combining both elegance and functionality.

The rear garden begins with a paved terrace immediately outside the kitchen, perfect for al fresco dining. From there it opens to a lawned section, and at the far end a raised decking area provides a delightful spot to relax, overlook the surroundings, or enjoy some privacy.

This is a substantial family home with history in its bones and space in its heart, ideally suited to those who appreciate original character yet require modern convenience. With its superb access to roads, local schools and shopping, combined with its period features and sense of grandeur, it’s a rare offering in Orrell.
