Aughton Park Drive, Aughton, L39 5RJ

Set in landscaped grounds on a leafy road in Aughton Park, this first-floor apartment has been well cared for and is ready to move straight into.

It has two double bedrooms, a principal en-suite, a separate bathroom and a bright open-plan living space with a Juliet balcony, in all around 726 sq ft. Aughton Park station is a short walk away.

Hampton Court is a handsome four-storey building in red brick, dressed with stone-coloured banding, window surrounds and white sash-style windows. It stands in well-kept communal gardens.

Clipped hedges, established shrubs and a line of tall conifers soften the setting and give it a green, settled feel. Residents' parking is within the grounds.

A long entrance hall runs through the middle of the apartment. It has coved ceilings, oak-effect doors to every room, a cloaks cupboard by the front door and a separate walk-in store.

The living space runs across the front of the apartment. The lounge (14'1 x 11'7) is arranged around a pair of French doors that open to a glass Juliet balcony, with mature trees beyond.

From there the room opens into a further area with space for a dining table, then turns into the kitchen, which sits in its own recess but stays part of the room.

The kitchen (15'6 x 7'5) is fitted with cream tongue-and-groove units and wood-effect worktops. A 1.5-bowl stainless steel sink sits beneath a window with a leafy outlook.

There is a Bosch built-in oven, a ceramic hob with a stainless steel chimney extractor and splashback, and tall units running floor to ceiling.

Recessed spotlights and under-cabinet lighting keep it bright. The principal bedroom (10'5 x 10') is a comfortable double with a fitted wardrobe behind mirrored sliding doors.

Its en-suite has a generous shower enclosure lined in large-format grey tiles, a basin and concealed-cistern WC set into a white gloss vanity unit, a wide mirror, a chrome heated towel rail and recessed lighting.

The second bedroom (10'5 x 10') is the same size and also a double.

It has a matching mirrored wardrobe, plus a fitted desk and three-drawer chest beneath a wall shelf, so it works equally well as a guest room or a proper home office.

The bathroom is finished in white, with a feature wall of wave-textured tiling.

It has a bath with a thermostatic shower and glass screen over, a vanity basin, a concealed-cistern WC and recessed spotlights.

Aughton Park is one of the most convenient addresses on the southern edge of Ormskirk. Aughton Park station is on the Merseyrail Northern Line, with direct trains into Liverpool city centre.

Ormskirk town centre is around a mile away, with its market, independent shops, restaurants and supermarkets, and the village shops of Aughton and Town Green are close by.

The M58 gives quick access to the motorway network. Open West Lancashire countryside is on the doorstep.
