4 bed detached bungalow for sale

The Common, Adlington PR7

Arnold & Phillips Chorley are proud to present this individually arranged detached four-bedroom home in Adlington, set on a one-third-of-an-acre and offering approximately 2,092 sq ft of flexible accommodation across two levels. Originally constructed as a 1920s bungalow, the property has been significantly enhanced by a thoughtfully designed side extension, where carefully selected natural materials-including cherry wood, oak, travertine, marble and redwood-add warmth and character. Its distinctive layout combines generous ground-floor living with two first-floor bedrooms, while the substantial gardens, extensive parking and open outlook across fields to the rear provide an excellent setting for buyers seeking a home that can adapt around their lifestyle.

Living Space. A welcoming foyer opens into a versatile internal arrangement, with a spacious family room forming the heart of the home. Rich cherry wood flooring, large windows and an open layout create a bright and inviting reception space, with direct access to the kitchen and casual dining area. A separate formal dining room provides further space for family meals and entertaining, while the overall arrangement allows individual areas to be used and adapted according to changing household requirements.

Kitchen & Dining. The fitted kitchen features beautiful cabinetry, extensive worktop space, a range-style cooker and natural travertine stone flooring. It connects directly with an east-facing casual dining area, where oak flooring adds further warmth and the morning sunlight creates an appealing setting for everyday meals. This characterful space also features an internal staircase rising to a balcony-style landing within the first-floor extension, together with access to the formal dining room and the decked section of the garden. A separate laundry room, accompanied by an adjoining cloakroom/WC, provides valuable additional household space.

Bedrooms & Bathrooms. There are four bedrooms in total, with two versatile bedrooms positioned on the ground floor and two forming part of the first-floor side extension. The upper floor features attractive redwood floorboards, continuing the owners’ preference for natural materials throughout the extension. Both upper-level bedrooms benefit from fitted storage extending along the eaves, helping to make effective use of the available space. The principal bedroom is particularly appealing, featuring a vaulted ceiling and an adjoining en-suite shower room finished with natural marble tiling. A well-appointed ground-floor bathroom includes both a bath and a separate shower enclosure.

Outside. Mature hedging surrounds the front garden, providing a good degree of privacy. The garden is predominantly laid to lawn and complemented by established trees, planted beds and a flowering cherry tree that produces a fabulous seasonal display during late April. A gravelled area provides additional parking, while a gravel driveway continues along the full length of the property to a block-paved rear parking area with space for approximately five cars. Further parking is available to the front and side of the property.

The extensive rear garden is similarly enclosed by mature hedging and combines a substantial lawn with established trees and planted beds. Paved and decked seating areas provide inviting settings for outdoor dining and relaxation, while a greenhouse and useful garden sheds offer practical facilities for keen gardeners. The generous lawn provides plentiful space for gardening, recreation and numerous outdoor activities, with the outlook across neighbouring fields adding to the home’s sense of space and connection with its surroundings. The owners previously obtained planning permission for a detached double garage at the rear, accessed from the track; prospective purchasers should make their own enquiries regarding any future proposal or consent requirements.

Location & Lifestyle. Adlington offers a useful range of everyday amenities, including local shops and cafés around the town centre, a Tesco Express, pet shop and Shapla Indian takeaway. Healthcare provision includes Granville House Medical Centre and Adlington Medical Centre, with Evergreen Pharmacy on Market Street, while Medivet on Chorley Road provides a convenient local veterinary service.

For leisure, the area is well placed for golfers, with Douglas Valley Golf Club approximately 1.8 miles away, Chorley Golf Club at Hall o’ th’ Hill around 2.3 miles away and Duxbury Park Golf Course approximately 2.8 miles away. Outdoor enthusiasts are equally well served, with access towards Worthington Lakes available from the end of the lane beyond the hamlet, together with nearby Hic Bibi Nature Reserve. Duxbury Park offers an enjoyable local walking and cycling route alongside the River Yarrow towards Yarrow Valley Country Park, while canal-side paths provide further routes towards Haigh Country Park. The wider countryside of Anglezarke, Rivington and the West Pennine Moors is also within easy reach for more extensive walks and cycling.
