Five Bedroom Family Home With Large Garden, Annex Potential And Planning On Regent Road

A Leafy Address with Quiet PrestigeSet along Regent Road, one of Lostock’s most admired tree-lined streets just off Chorley New Road, this five-bedroom semi-detached home sits comfortably among a varied collection of characterful houses, each with its own architectural identity. Mature trees frame the approach, softening the street scene and lending a calm, established feel that immediately signals this is a special place to live.

Behind the white picket fence and neat frontage, the house presents itself with quiet confidence rather than showiness, red brick elevations, bay windows and balanced proportions combining to create a home that feels timeless, welcoming and substantial.

Arrival & First ImpressionsStep through the front door and the entrance hall sets the tone: Bright, welcoming and full of period charm. Stained glass panels catch the light, while the staircase rises elegantly, anchoring the space and hinting at the generous accommodation beyond. The flow feels natural and intuitive, with rooms branching off easily and a sense of space that immediately surprises.

Living Spaces Made for Everyday LifeThe main lounge is a room designed for comfort and connection. A large bay window draws in daylight and leafy views from the front garden, while the fireplace creates a natural focal point, making it an inviting space for evenings in, relaxed weekends or family gatherings. This is one of two substantial reception rooms, giving the house excellent flexibility for growing families.

The Kitchen: Crafted for Living, Designed to ImpressTo the rear, the home opens into a superb kitchen diner that sits confidently at the heart of the house. High-quality finishes and thoughtful design make this a space that works as beautifully as it looks. A substantial central island anchors the room, finished in deep blue matte cabinetry with a pale white Quartz worktop, an integrated sink and contrasting Dekton breakfast bar seating for four, ensuring everyday cooking remains social and connected.

Behind, a mix of dark units and warm wood-grain cabinetry adds depth and warmth. Full-height cupboards conceal twin hide-and-slide ovens, keeping the look clean and streamlined, while an induction hob, integrated appliances and generous storage complete this well-appointed kitchen. Large-format tiled flooring defines the kitchen zone, complemented by contemporary pendant lighting.

Flowing directly from the kitchen, the dining area is subtly defined by herringbone wood flooring, creating warmth while retaining the open-plan feel. There is ample space for a large dining table, ideal for both everyday family meals and entertaining, with wide glazed doors opening directly onto the garden for effortless indoor-outdoor living.

Importantly, planning permission was granted in April 2024 for a single-storey rear extension (approximately 6.5m x 4.5m), offering exciting scope to extend and reimagine this space further, should a buyer wish to create an even larger open-plan kitchen, family or entertaining area.

Annex-tra Living SpaceTo the rear of the home, a well-proportioned sitting room provides a calm and flexible second living space, ideal as a snug, media room or family retreat. Finished in rich deep-blue tones with soft carpeting, it features a striking TV wall framed by two rear windows with built-in window seating, drawing in garden views and natural light.

Adjoining this is a thoughtfully designed utility room with sleek white cabinetry, integrated appliances and excellent storage, along with direct access outside and into the garage. Just beyond, a modern ground-floor shower room adds valuable practicality. Together, this arrangement offers clear potential to be reconfigured into a self-contained annex for guests, older children or multi-generational living, subject to any required consents, making the home particularly appealing for families planning ahead.

Upstairs Calm & CharacterThe first floor unfolds around a generous landing, leading to five well-proportioned bedrooms. Positioned to the rear, the main bedroom is a calm and inviting retreat, enjoying peaceful views over the garden. A full bank of fitted wardrobes provides excellent storage without compromising the sense of space.

The remaining bedrooms are flexible and well-sized, easily accommodating children, guests, home offices or hobbies as needs change. The family bathroom is bright and contemporary, fitted with a four-piece suite including a freestanding bath and separate walk-in shower, making it well suited to busy family life while retaining a calm, spa-like feel.

In addition, the property benefits from two loft spaces: One boarded for storage and the other fully boarded, carpeted and fitted with a Velux window, offering further flexibility and future potential.

A Garden That Feels Like a RetreatOutside, the large L-shaped garden is a genuine highlight and significantly bigger than most on the street. Designed with family life firmly in mind, it offers distinct yet flowing zones for play, relaxation and entertaining. A combination of lawn and artificial grass provides year-round usability, ideal for children, with planted borders, established trees and even a pond adding interest and privacy.

A raised decked terrace creates a superb outdoor living space, complete with seating and a covered barbecue and prep area, perfect for summer entertaining. A bespoke built treehouse is tucked among the greenery, adding charm and excitement for younger family members. Beyond, the garden continues to open out, offering space for goals, trampolines and relaxed outdoor living.

To the rear sits a substantial garden room, currently arranged as a games room and bar, with space for socialising, hosting and teenage hangouts. With power, lighting and generous proportions, it also lends itself easily to use as a home office, gym or studio. Together with the decked area, it creates an exceptional outdoor lifestyle setup for both adults and children.

Space, Practicality & Future PotentialDeceptively spacious inside and out, this is a home that has been configured for real family living. With two large reception rooms, a high-quality kitchen, generous bedrooms, flexible ancillary spaces, outbuildings and approved planning permission to extend further, it offers both immediate comfort and exciting future potential. Whether adapting for multi-generational living, extending the kitchen space or simply enjoying the house as it stands, the flexibility here is a major draw.

Lostock Living at Its BestRegent Road brings together the best of Lostock living: Leafy surroundings, a strong sense of community and excellent access to schools, transport links and amenities. Chorley New Road is moments away, yet the house feels quietly removed from the bustle.

Both Lostock and Horwich Parkway train stations are within easy reach, offering direct links to Manchester, Bolton and Preston, while the M61 is just minutes away. Highly regarded schools, Middlebrook Retail Park, local pubs, green spaces and golf clubs are all close at hand.

This is a great family home inside and out: Generous, adaptable and full of lifestyle appeal, with space to grow, entertain and evolve. A home with presence and personality, elegant without being overstated, and ready to welcome its next chapter.
