Arnold and Phillips are delighted to bring to market this spacious three-bedroom detached property, nestled comfortably within a generous and private plot on the ever-popular Greenwood Close in Aughton, West Lancs. A rare opportunity for those seeking a project with real potential, this home offers a substantial footprint and a flexible layout, lending itself perfectly to a full programme of modernisation and reimagining to suit a wide range of lifestyles. Positioned along a quiet residential close, the property sits back from the road behind a private driveway, with off-road parking available to the front. The approach is well-kept and established, with a neat lawn and mature planting framing the entrance — offering the kind of kerb appeal that, with a little imagination, could be transformed into something really special. The overall plot is notably generous, offering both space and privacy that can be hard to come by in more modern developments.

Stepping inside, the scale of the home becomes immediately apparent. The ground floor offers a surprisingly versatile configuration, currently comprising four separate reception rooms — an arrangement that could be retained, adapted, or opened up depending on how you envision using the space. Whether you need a formal dining room, a second lounge, a home office, or even a playroom or snug, there’s scope here to tailor the layout to fit. Each room offers good proportions, and although the property does require a full renovation, the structure feels solid, with a layout that flows naturally from one space to the next.

The kitchen is located towards the rear and is of a size that supports practical day-to-day use, with the potential to extend or redesign to create a more contemporary kitchen-diner if desired. With the adjacent reception rooms offering flexibility, there’s an opportunity here to connect the spaces and create a more open-plan arrangement, popular with modern buyers looking to maximise light and connection across living areas. A single integrated garage is accessible from the ground floor as well — a handy addition for those looking for storage, workshop space, or even the possibility of conversion, subject to relevant permissions. It's these sorts of features — tucked away but full of potential — that make this property so appealing for buyers wanting to shape a home that suits their own style and needs.

Upstairs, the first floor provides three bedrooms, all well-proportioned and sensibly arranged off a central landing. Two of the bedrooms are double in size, offering plenty of room for furniture without feeling overcrowded, while the third would work comfortably as a child’s bedroom, study, or dressing room. The family bathroom is currently presented with more modern fittings than other areas of the house, but again there’s room here to reconfigure or upgrade depending on personal taste. The windows throughout upstairs offer calming views over the surrounding garden and give a sense of privacy and seclusion from neighbouring properties.
 
To the rear, the garden is a particular strength of the property — stretching out behind the house with a wide expanse of lawn bordered by mature trees, established planting, and the kind of outdoor space that lends itself well to both quiet enjoyment and social use. Whether you’re thinking about setting up a relaxed seating area for meals outside, space for children to play, or even exploring the idea of an extension to the house, there’s certainly the room to do it here. The garden feels private, enclosed, and has that ‘blank canvas’ quality that makes it all the more inviting for buyers who enjoy the idea of shaping their own outdoor retreat.
 
Greenwood Close itself is a well-regarded and peaceful cul-de-sac, popular with families and those looking for a quieter pace while remaining close to day-to-day essentials. Aughton is a well-connected and desirable area, offering a range of local shops, cafes, and services, as well as excellent transport links — both by road and rail — into nearby Ormskirk, Liverpool and beyond. There are several well-respected schools within easy reach, making this an ideal spot for buyers planning for the long term. Local green spaces and walking routes add to the area’s appeal, while nearby Ormskirk provides a wider selection of amenities including supermarkets, leisure facilities, and a regular market.

In all, this property represents a rare and exciting opportunity to create something truly personal. With over 1,400 square feet of internal accommodation, a generous plot, and a location that combines convenience with quiet surroundings, this is a home that invites vision and offers genuine long-term potential.
