5 bed detached house for sale

Moss Road, Billinge, Wigan WN5

Nestled along the ever-popular Moss Road in Billinge, this striking five-bedroom detached residence immediately captures attention with its commanding position and sweeping driveway, providing ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles. Originally built in 1899, the home beautifully blends period charm with thoughtful extensions over time, creating a substantial and versatile family home.

Step inside and you are welcomed by a bright and inviting hallway, setting the tone for the space and warmth found throughout. To either side, two elegant reception rooms sit at the front of the property. The principal sitting room to the right enjoys dual aspect windows, filling the space with natural light and creating a wonderfully cosy yet airy feel — perfect for relaxing evenings. Opposite, the second reception room offers an additional lounge or snug, ideal for quieter moments or entertaining guests. A third reception room off the hallway, currently utilised as a games room, adds further flexibility to suit modern family living.

To the rear lies the true heart of the home — an impressive open-plan living space designed for both everyday life and social gatherings. The contemporary kitchen sits at one end, centred around a stylish island and complemented by ample high-quality cabinetry and storage, all meticulously maintained. Flowing seamlessly from here is generous space for a large dining table, leading into a comfortable sitting area positioned to enjoy views over the rear garden. A charming log burner provides a focal point and adds warmth and character during the cooler months. A separate utility room enhances practicality.

Also located to the rear is a fourth reception room, offering excellent versatility and previously used as a ground-floor bedroom, ideal for multi-generational living or home working. A ground floor WC — formerly a shower room — presents the opportunity to reinstate additional bathing facilities if desired.

Upstairs, the property continues to impress with five well-proportioned bedrooms. The family bathroom serves the majority of the rooms, while a separate shower room adds further convenience. To the front, a smaller bathroom currently fitted with a hand basin offers exciting potential to be reconfigured into a private ensuite for the principal bedroom.

Externally, the rear garden provides a wonderful outdoor space, featuring a tiled patio area perfect for outside dining, decking to the side, and a generous lawn ideal for families and entertaining. A detached garage with side access completes the offering.

This charming and substantial home on Moss Road combines character, space and flexibility in one of Billinge’s most sought-after locations — a truly special opportunity for the next family to enjoy.
