A home of distinction, situated in one of the area's most coveted addresses, this stunning period five bed detached residence is brimming with charm and character. Once inside, our clients have created a quite delightful home which has lost none of the charm of the period, despite having being equipped with all the modern appointments, ensuring the old and the new blend seamlessly together. Located equidistant between the bustling town centre of Wigan and the thriving village of Standish, the property is situated on the prestigious Milton Grove, just off Wigan Lane, widely acknowledged as one of the finest residential addresses in the area, and a stone’s throw from Haigh Country Estate. The desirable village of Standish provides a host of local shops and amenities, including a post office and three supermarkets whilst Whitley offers corner street cafes and the beautiful Mesnes Park as well as one of the most desirable schools in the area.
The internal accommodation extends to in excess of an impressive 1.948 square feet, with living spaces arranged over three floors and character features abound, with the feeling of tradition from the first step across the covered veranda via the entrance porch and into the bright hall. The ground floor provides two excellent reception rooms, one situated to the front of the home, and currently used as a spacious sitting room with a beautiful walk in bay window and feature fireplace housing a wood burning stove. There is herringbone oak flooring to this room and stylish wall panelling. A more informal open plan living space has also been created, to the rear of the home which opens on to a delightful conservatory and is ideal for larger family gardens and to fully appreciate the beautiful gardens. Warmed by a cosy log burner and perfect for those autumn evenings ahead the stylish herringbone flooring flows throughout. There is direct access in to the garden from the attached conservatory. The 21’ kitchen/diner is also large enough to accommodate gatherings and has been recreated by the current owners in to a smart modern space with timeless Shaker units set around a central island. With granite work surfaces and a range cooker and space for an American style fridge freezer. The kitchen also provides access directly in to the garden for gatherings and out on to the newly finished smart patio with wooden pergola.
The first floor provides access to three of the bedrooms – three excellent doubles, the master bedroom enjoying an en-suite shower room which has also been recently refitted with a smart modern shower room, and a comprehensive range of fitted wardrobes. The main family bathroom is also located on this floor, and has also been beautifully finished in a new suite in classic white, including a vanity wash basin, pebble shaped bath and separate shower cubicle. There is also access to the first floor providing an additional extra two bedrooms and a handy study area located on the landing.
Externally, the property occupies an impressive plot which affords a private, well established rear garden, with mature planting, established trees and lawns, and a perfect sizeable patio which has also been recently laid and finished to a high standard and accesses to the side of the home and is secured behind gates for safety and security. A gorgeous pergola installed with festoon lights has also been added. The front of the property provides excellent off road parking for several vehicles via the block paved driveway which is walled to the front and gated. The property is also positioned overlooking a beautiful open area providing a spacious and attractive outlook. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a truly stunning home in a fabulous location, and we would strongly advise an early internal inspection to appreciate all that it has to offer, and to avoid disappointment.
