For a lot of people, their dream is to move into a bungalow - with simple single-level living, so no stairs to worry about every day. The only thing missing from that dream is somewhere for the kids and grandchildren to sleep when they visit.

Two loft rooms sit above the ground floor, reached by a fixed staircase, both with exposed timber a-frame beams and Velux skylights.

They're real rooms with real space to stand up ceiling height, so you get your easy ground-floor life. They get their own floor.

Down on the ground floor, the layout is simple and straightforward. The lounge is a good size - a feature fireplace with a wood-effect insert sits at one end, a large front-facing window brings in plenty of light, and the staircase to the loft tucks away neatly so it doesn't dominate the room.

The separate dining room sits between the lounge and the kitchen. It's a natural next project for a new owner - opening it through to the kitchen would create a genuinely spacious kitchen-diner, and the layout lends itself to it well.

The kitchen itself has white units, a double oven, hob and extractor, and laminate flooring. Functional and clean - it does the job now, and there's plenty of scope to update it when the time is right.

Bedroom one is a comfortable double with a run of fitted wardrobes and a dressing unit.

There's also a second bedroom / reception room at the back of the house, with sliding patio doors that open directly onto the garden. It’s a really flexible space that works equally well as a bedroom, garden room, a home office or a hobby room.

The bathroom is a pleasant surprise - with a modern white suite with a walk-in shower enclosure, vanity unit and WC, all neatly tiled.

Outside, the back garden is neat and well looked after, with a paved patio area off the back of the house - ideal for sitting out - which steps up to a greenhouse and then into a wide, well-kept upper lawn edged with mature planted borders, fruit trees and established shrubs.

There’s space to park a couple of cars on the drive which runs down the side of the house to the detached single garage at the back.

Eccleston is a lovely village with a friendly feel. The Carrington Centre with a Sainsbury's Local, post office and bakery is about a ten-minute walk, there are good pubs, and the surrounding countryside is right on your doorstep.

When you need more choice, Chorley town centre is only around ten minutes in the car.

The house could benefit from some updating - a fresh lick of paint, a new kitchen in time (perhaps making the most of the opportunity and opening up the dining room at the same time). But the space is versatile, the layout works, and the garden is ready for you to enjoy.

This could be the perfect combination for buyers who want easy, comfortable single storey living, with room for the family to come and go.
