Description

Modern, spacious and beautifully presented throughout, this impressive three-bedroom detached family home offers everything a growing family could need — generous living space, a private garden, and a prime location close to excellent amenities. Early viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate all that is on offer.

A welcoming entrance hallway sets the tone for the accommodation, leading into a bright and comfortable living room — the perfect space to relax and unwind. To the rear, the modern fitted kitchen diner forms the heart of the home, thoughtfully designed with contemporary units, ample worktop space and room for family dining. Ideal for both everyday living and entertaining, this sociable space enjoys views over the garden. A convenient downstairs W/C completes the ground floor layout.

Upstairs, the landing provides access to three well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room, creating a private retreat, while the remaining two bedrooms offer excellent space for children, guests or a home office. A stylish modern family bathroom serves the household, finished to a high standard.

Externally, the property continues to impress. The generous private rear garden is fully enclosed, providing a safe and secure environment for children and pets, while also offering plenty of room for outdoor dining and summer gatherings. A charming summerhouse adds further versatility — perfect as a home office, hobby space or relaxation spot. To the front, a spacious driveway provides ample off-street parking.

Situated in the highly sought-after area of Penwortham, the property enjoys close proximity to a wealth of amenities. The popular Liverpool Road shopping district offers a range of independent shops, cafés and supermarkets, alongside facilities such as Penwortham Leisure Centre and the local library. The area is also well served by reputable primary and secondary schools.

For outdoor enthusiasts, beautiful green spaces are close by, including Hurst Grange Park with its woodland walks and refurbished conservatory, as well as the stunning Avenham Park and Miller Park. The Ribble Coast and Wetlands and various local playing fields and golf clubs further enhance the lifestyle appeal.

Commuters are well catered for, with frequent local bus services connecting to Preston city centre and Southport, and excellent road links via the A59, A582 and A583.
