We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Churcher Estates are proud to present this charming three-bedroom mid-terraced home, ideally positioned in the heart of the ever-popular market town of Ormskirk.
Perfect for first-time buyers, investors, downsizers, or those seeking a well-connected residence, this characterful property is within walking distance of the town's bustling centre, with its array of shops, cafes, restaurants, and excellent transport links.
Offering plenty of scope for personalisation in a prime location, this home is bursting with potential.
Stepping inside via the private front door off Aughton Street, you are welcomed into a small entrance lobby that opens directly into the heart of the home.
The ground floor unfolds into a surprisingly spacious and quirky open-plan kitchen/diner.
Full of personality, this vibrant space features hand-painted murals, timber wall panelling, and an eye-catching blue floor that adds an artistic flair.
The kitchen area includes fitted cabinetry, a sink positioned beneath the stairs, and space for freestanding appliances.
At the front of the property, the dining section benefits from patio doors opening out to the pavement, offering exciting potential for a business venture or alternate access to the ground floor.
To the left of the kitchen/diner is the generously proportioned lounge, which spans the full depth of the property.
Natural light streams in through the large patio doors, which lead out onto a small, enclosed courtyard-perfect for those seeking low-maintenance outdoor space.
This flexible living area offers ample room for both relaxing and entertaining, with versatile layout options for furnishings.
The staircase, accessed from the entrance lobby, leads to a spacious first-floor landing that connects all three bedrooms and the bathroom.
To the rear, the principal bedroom is impressively sized and filled with natural light from two windows. Recently plastered, it provides a blank canvas ready for decorating.
The second bedroom at the front is also generous in size and has been similarly plastered, ready for finishing.
The third bedroom sits centrally and would be ideal as a nursery, home office, or guest room. The family bathroom sits between the rear bedrooms and has been partially renovated.
It features wood panelling, a modern white vanity unit and WC, and a dedicated space for a walk-in shower, allowing the next owner to complete the room to their own taste.
Outside, the home enjoys a compact yet private rear courtyard, enclosed by a vibrant pink-painted brick wall and finished with stone paving.
This charming outdoor spot offers a peaceful retreat right in the centre of town.
The property benefits from a rich and versatile history, having previously served as a sweet shop, beauty salon, tanning studio, and a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO).
This diversity highlights its flexibility and suitability for a wide range of future uses-be it as a single residence, a student HMO, two separate flats, or as a commercial unit on the ground floor with residential accommodation above.
Planning discussions are already underway, with a submission (Ref: Pre/2023/0046/min) currently seeking comments for the proposed conversion of the ground floor shop back into residential use, with potential to create either a studio flat or a student HMO.
This offers an exciting opportunity for developers or investors to add value or generate income in a sought-after location.
With over 870 square feet of internal accommodation, this unique property is a rare opportunity to own a spacious and characterful home in one of Ormskirk's most desirable areas.
Whether you're a first-time buyer eager to create your ideal home, an investor seeking a rewarding project, or someone looking to complete a conversion or renovation, this property presents endless potential.
With its generous layout, prime position, and multi-purpose flexibility, early viewing is highly recommended to truly appreciate the opportunity on offer.
