Fireside Evenings, Sunset Views & A Home Designed for Modern Family Life. There are homes that simply provide space, and there are homes that create a lifestyle. Church View firmly belongs in the latter. Occupying an elevated position within the highly sought-after village of Whittle-le-Woods, this individual five-bedroom detached home has been thoughtfully designed to combine sociable family living with a collection of peaceful retreats. From cosy evenings spent beside the fire to sunset gatherings on the deck, every space has been created to enhance the way a family lives, entertains and relaxes. Arranged across several levels, the property offers approximately 2,520 sq ft overall, including both garages and the lower-ground accommodation.

A Warm Welcome Home Stepping through the front door, the welcoming hallway immediately sets the tone for the rest of the home. There's plenty of space to kick off muddy boots after exploring the nearby trails of Cuerden Valley Park, making it as practical as it is inviting. Thoughtfully designed with everyday family life in mind, the hallway provides an easy flow through the home while offering a true sense of arrival. Conveniently positioned just off the entrance is a cloakroom with WC, providing accessible facilities for both family members and guests alike.

The Heart of the Home. At the centre of Church View is an exceptional open-plan kitchen, dining and family room, designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. Dual roof lanterns flood the space with natural light, drawing attention to the generous central island and dining area, where a table for eight sits comfortably beneath the glass. Throughout the day, sunlight pours into the room, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere that naturally brings family and friends together. The living area offers a more intimate feel, centred around an exposed brick chimney breast housing an inviting wood-burning stove. Whether it's quiet evenings by the fire or gathering with family on colder days, the space strikes the perfect balance between character and comfort. The kitchen itself is contemporary yet understated in its design. Clean lines and modern cabinetry are softened by the warmth of natural oak finishes, while rich olive tones introduce depth and personality. The result is a space that feels both stylish and timeless, blending modern functionality with a welcoming, lived-in aesthetic. An instant hot water tap adds a useful touch of everyday convenience.

Practicality Behind the Scenes. Positioned just off the kitchen, the utility room provides valuable additional workspace and storage, helping to keep the main living areas effortlessly organised. Designed to mirror the style and quality of the kitchen, it features complementary cabinetry and work surfaces, creating a seamless continuation of the home's thoughtful design. There is dedicated space for both a separate washing machine and tumble dryer, along with additional storage for laundry essentials and household items. Practical improvements include a recent roof and boiler, alongside dual-control heating operated through an app. The vendor also reports Virgin Media gigabit broadband, supporting home working, streaming and connected family life.

A Characterful Lounge to Retreat To. Positioned at the front of the property, a separate lounge provides a welcome contrast to the sociable open-plan living space, offering somewhere to escape, unwind and enjoy a little peace and quiet. A walk-in bay fitted with French doors frames views across the extensive sun deck, creating a seamless connection between inside and out while allowing natural light to flood the room. During the warmer months, the doors can be thrown open to extend the living space onto the terrace beyond. Full of character, the room centres around an original fireplace housing a second log-burning stove, creating a wonderfully cosy atmosphere on cooler evenings. An exposed brick feature wall adds further texture and charm, enhancing the room's appealing blend of period character and contemporary comfort. Whether used as a formal sitting room, a reading lounge or simply a peaceful retreat away from the hubbub of family life, this is a space that invites you to slow down and relax.

First Floor Living. A Family Bathroom Designed for Everyday Living. Located at the rear of the first floor, the main family bathroom has been thoughtfully designed to cater to the demands of modern family life whilst still offering a touch of indulgence. Equally practical and relaxing, the space features a full-sized bath alongside a separate shower cubicle, providing flexibility for busy mornings, younger children and leisurely evening routines alike. Adding a distinctive contemporary touch, a mirrored television is integrated into the room, helping to keep little ones entertained during bath time whilst offering older family members the opportunity to unwind and enjoy a little extra relaxation at the end of the day.

The generous bedroom enjoys large windows to the front elevation, capturing far-reaching views towards Cuerden Valley Nature Reserve. On warmer days, French doors can be opened to a Juliet balcony, allowing fresh air and the surrounding landscape to become part of the room. A private staircase leads from the bedroom to an impressive mezzanine level, creating a secluded sanctuary away from the demands of everyday life. Whether used as a reading lounge, relaxation space or private sitting room, this unique area offers a welcome opportunity to unwind in complete privacy. Leading from the mezzanine is an exceptional dressing room and walk-in wardrobe, flooded with natural light from Velux windows. Beautifully appointed and highly practical, it provides the perfect setting for preparing for both special occasions and everyday life alike. Completing the suite is a luxurious walk-in shower room, thoughtfully designed with a spa-like atmosphere. Together, these spaces create a truly remarkable principal suite that feels more boutique hotel than family home.

A Hidden Gem of a Suite. Positioned to the rear of the property, a thoughtfully designed secondary suite provides an exceptional level of privacy and independence, making it ideal for older children, long-stay guests or multi-generational living.
