3 bed detached house for sale

Lodge Road, Orrell, Wigan WN5

Enjoying one of Orrell’s most sought-after positions, directly opposite Orrell Water Park, this three-bedroom detached home offers a rare combination of space, character and an outlook that few properties in the village can match.

With uninterrupted views across the water park and green space beyond, the property enjoys a sense of openness rarely found in such a convenient location. Whether it's morning walks around the lake, fishing on the doorstep or simply enjoying the view from your front window, this is a setting that many buyers aspire to but few have the opportunity to own.

A well-known local landmark, the building was formerly the village cobblers before later becoming the fishing tackle shop familiar to generations of visitors to the water park. Today, it has been transformed into a spacious detached home offering flexible accommodation, off-road parking, a detached garage and a lifestyle centred around one of Orrell's best-loved locations.

To the front there is parking for two vehicles, an EV charging point and access to the main entrance, while the detached garage is positioned to the rear and accessed via the service road.

Inside, the former shop frontage now creates a bright and spacious lounge flooded with natural light thanks to the property's open aspect. Just off this room is a useful utility area. To the rear is the kitchen, along with two further reception rooms currently used as a second sitting room and separate dining room, providing excellent flexibility for growing families, entertaining guests or working from home. A downstairs WC adds further convenience.

While the kitchen may benefit from some cosmetic updating, the size of the accommodation, detached status and exceptional position make this a fantastic opportunity to create a home tailored to individual tastes.

Upstairs are three bedrooms, including two generous doubles and a third bedroom ideal as a nursery, home office or single bedroom. The family bathroom has recently been updated and features a walk-in shower, WC and wash hand basin. The loft is accessed via a fitted ladder and benefits from power and a window, providing valuable storage space and potential for further use, subject to any necessary approvals.

Outside, the rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with a patio area adjoining the house, creating an ideal space for outdoor dining and relaxing. There is also direct access to the detached garage.

Properties in this position rarely come to market. Combining detached living, generous accommodation and a front-row setting overlooking Orrell Water Park, this is a unique opportunity to secure a home in one of the village's most desirable locations.
