4 bed detached house for sale

Moss Lane, Wrightington, Wigan WN6

Ben Rose Estate Agents are pleased to present to market this truly enchanting four-bedroom detached property, nestled on a circa one-acre plot in the highly sought-after rural village of Wrightington. Commanding elevated, uninterrupted views that stretch as far as The Lake District and Winter Hill, this extended family home offers a rare blend of character, space, and potential. Set within idyllic countryside and surrounded by open farmland, the property promises a lifestyle of peace and privacy while still being conveniently located. Wrightington itself offers excellent access to neighbouring towns such as Standish, Parbold and Chorley, only a mile from the M6 junction 27 and with the M61 motorway being just a short drive away, ideal for commuters. A choice of well-regarded schools, local shops, charming country pubs, and beautiful walking trails are all within easy reach, making this a prime setting for families seeking both tranquillity and accessibility.

Upon entering through the front door, you’re welcomed into a warm and versatile family dining room, complete with the staircase leading to the first floor—this space could also double as a formal reception area depending on your needs. Flowing naturally from here is the lounge, a truly inviting room featuring impressive vaulted ceilings and a characterful fireplace, perfect for cosy evenings in. Adjacent to this is a snug and peaceful study, ideal for working from home. Forming part of the home’s extension is the garden room, a bright and airy space with direct access to the garden, beautifully framing the surroundings. Moving towards the rear of the property, you’ll find a second entrance hall which is likely to be the main access point from the driveway, with a conveniently located WC just off this area. At the heart of the home lies a substantial open-plan kitchen/diner, boasting integrated appliances, a central island, and ample space for family dining, all illuminated by a large bow window overlooking the rear gardens. From here, there is internal access to the double garage and a spacious utility room. Completing the ground floor is a generously sized office positioned at the front of the property, offering fantastic views and a quiet setting for productivity.

The first floor comprises four well-proportioned bedrooms, each offering its own charm and functionality. The two front-facing bedrooms are particularly special, each having fitted wardrobes and framing breathtaking panoramic views of the countryside, with sights extending as far as The Lake District and Winter Hill. To the rear of the home sits the impressive master suite, complete with two walk-in wardrobes, a three-piece en-suite, and a charming Juliette balcony that overlooks the lush rear gardens. The fourth bedroom offers further flexibility for growing families or guests, while a five-piece family bathroom serves the remaining rooms to complement the rest of this wonderful home.

Externally, the property truly comes into its own. A sweeping driveway guides you from the front of the plot around to the rear, offering parking for multiple vehicles and leading up to a double integrated garage with an electric door. To the rear, the formal garden is a haven of peace, enclosed by mature trees and hedgerows for privacy, with a large lawn that’s perfect for children or entertaining. A gate leads through to the paddock, where you'll discover a stable, outbuilding, and garden store—ideal for those with equestrian interests. From here, the views stretch further still, reaching the Derbyshire Peak District, glimpses of Manchester city centre, and the nearby Primrose Wood. The land offers extraordinary potential, whether to modernise the existing property, extend further, or even redevelop the site entirely to create a bespoke dream home (subject to the necessary planning consents).

This is a rare and exciting opportunity to secure a property that offers not only an exceptional family lifestyle in a highly desirable location but also the flexibility and scope to grow with you over time.
