‘Rutland’ was constructed in the 1930’s and is positioned on a sizable plot on the most enviable road in Ormskirk. Just a stroll away from Ruff Wood, it sits back privately from the road and is surrounded by nature and the West Lancashire countryside yet is only a stones’ throw from the town centre.
A traditional four-bedroom home with many original features, it is set within mature and very private gardens to the front and rear. It is ideally situated for all amenities and is walking distance to the historic market town of Ormskirk.
Ground Floor
A glass integral porch is ideal for muddy boots after a woodland walk before entering the central hallway of this classic 1930’s home. Parquet solid wood flooring, original dark wood staircase and traditional dark doors with brass accessories takes you right back to when this home was designed and its lovely to see the owners have maintained many original features.
Beautiful stained-glass bay and single windows take centre stage in the spacious lounge/reception which sits to the front of the property, overlooking the front lawn. It also features an open fireplace with an art-deco style wooden mantle and marble surround and hearth. A patio door accesses the side of the property.
Masses of natural light stream into a sizeable dining room or second reception which sits opposite the lounge with matching square bay windows with the same stunning stained glass. Two co-ordinating single windows sit aside of a gas fireplace with a most grand, solid wood mantle and ceramic tile surround.
The kitchen can be accessed directly from the dining room and the hall. A wood kitchen with quartz work tops harmonizes well with the original ‘30’s character. Offering a galley layout, the light wood cabinetry houses integral appliances with ovens and gas hob and lots of extra storage with space for an informal dining area.
A small conservatory/ glass house can be accessed from the rear of the kitchen which in turn accesses to the rear patio and garden but also the double-length garage, which is ideal on wet days.
A fully tiled shower room with W.C. sits at the rear of the hallway and opposite the kitchen and this handy room completes the ground floor.
First Floor
A solid, dark wood, quarter-turn staircase takes you up from the central hall to the first-floor landing which leads to every room on this level.
As you would expect of a house of this age the bedrooms are a great size with two positioned at the front and two at the rear, with a small room between the two front bedrooms. This is currently being used as a home office but could be used as a box bedroom or nursery.
A large family bathroom is fully tiled and hosts both a bath and shower cubicle with pedestal basin and W.C. A further, fully tiled shower room with W.C. and pedestal basin is also shared so limiting the bathroom wait time for any busy family.
Outside
The entire plot is just over 0.6 acres, with most of land being at the rear creating a wonderfully large and south facing rear garden. Surrounded by mature trees and shrubs it is very private.
As is the front of the house, as it is set back from the lane and encompassed by mature trees.
A block paved driveway leads to the front of the property and a double garage with ample parking for three or four cars.
