About
Arnold & Phillips are pleased to offer for sale this well-presented two-bedroom first floor apartment, positioned within a popular development in Irwell, Skelmersdale.
This spacious home provides an excellent opportunity for a range of buyers, whether you are stepping onto the property ladder for the first time, downsizing to something more manageable, or looking for a practical investment in a well-connected area.
Set within a neatly maintained residential spot, the development benefits from plenty of on-street bay parking, ensuring convenience for both residents and visitors.
The position of this particular apartment also enjoys a pleasant outlook over the surrounding area, giving it a sense of openness that is not always found with apartment living.
Stepping inside, a welcoming hallway runs centrally and sets the tone for the rest of the home, with useful storage cupboards tucked away – a feature that makes a real difference when living in an apartment, as it keeps the main rooms free of clutter and allows for more versatile use of space.
The main living room is of a generous size and feels well balanced, easily accommodating both lounge and dining furniture.
It’s a room that can be tailored to your own style, whether you prefer a cosy setting or something more minimal and open.
Leading directly off this room, the fitted kitchen provides a practical yet stylish arrangement, complete with a good range of wall, base and tower units, contrasting work surfaces and integrated appliances.
This design ensures that everything is to hand when cooking, while also leaving enough room for movement, making it as functional as it is appealing.
There are two spacious bedrooms, both neutrally decorated and ready for personal touches.
The larger of the two lends itself well to being a comfortable main bedroom, while the second offers flexibility as either a guest room, child’s room or even a home office depending on requirements.
Their proportions make them far more versatile than many apartments of a similar size, and they allow for furniture placement without compromise.
The bathroom has been finished in a modern style and is equipped with a bath and overhead shower, WC and wash hand basin.
Its simple, fresh design makes it practical for day-to-day use while remaining easy to maintain.
Externally, the development has been thoughtfully planned, with communal areas that are kept in good order, and the advantage of the generous bay on street parking nearby.
The elevated position of the apartment provides a degree of privacy while also giving a pleasant outlook across the area.
Location is always important when considering an apartment, and Irwell is well placed for both convenience and lifestyle.
Skelmersdale itself offers a wide range of local shops, supermarkets and leisure facilities, with several schools within easy reach.
Excellent transport links connect the property to the wider region, with quick access to the M58 and onward links to Liverpool, Manchester and beyond.
For those who commute, this makes travel straightforward, while those who prefer staying closer to home will find everything needed day-to-day just a short distance away.
The property benefits further from modern central heating and double glazing throughout, giving reassurance of both efficiency and comfort.
Extending to around 702 square feet, this is a larger-than-average apartment that combines practicality with a sense of space, making it an attractive option in today’s market.
