This charming property is offered with NO ONWARD CHAIN and provides an ideal blank canvas for buyers to put their own stamp on. Longton is a desirable village known for its excellent amenities, including local shops, cafes, and reputable schools, making it perfect for families. The property also benefits from fantastic travel links, with easy access to the M6 and M65 motorways, while Preston city centre and nearby towns such as Penwortham and Leyland are just a short drive away. Regular bus services connect the area to surrounding villages and the city, adding further convenience.

As you step through the front door, you're welcomed into a spacious reception hall with the convenience of a WC located under the stairs. The sizeable lounge at the front of the home boasts a feature fireplace, creating a cosy atmosphere. This space seamlessly opens into the adjoining dining room, which enjoys views over the rear garden through sliding patio doors, allowing for plenty of natural light. The kitchen, located towards the rear of the home, is fitted with ample cupboard space and features a charming stable-style door that opens out to the garden, enhancing the connection between indoor and outdoor living.

Moving to the first floor, you'll find four well-proportioned bedrooms. The master bedroom benefits from an integrated wardrobe, offering ample storage space. The remaining three bedrooms provide versatility, perfect for accommodating a growing family or creating a home office. The three-piece family bathroom, comprising a bath with an overhead shower, a washbasin, and a WC, completes the upper floor.

Externally, the property features a generous driveway with space for up to three cars, leading to a single detached garage located towards the rear. The front garden is well-maintained, adding to the home’s kerb appeal. To the rear, the private garden offers a peaceful retreat, with a central lawn surrounded by mature borders and a patio area ideal for outdoor entertaining.

This lovely property, with its prime location and excellent potential, would make a fantastic family home.
