Set on a wide plot in sought-after Penwortham, this extended four-bedroom detached home combines contemporary family living with period bones. The rear extension creates a bright, vaulted family room with skylights, a log-burning stove and underfloor heating – an inviting heart for everyday life and entertaining. The kitchen/dining area connects seamlessly to the garden, while a separate utility and cloakroom add practical convenience.
Upstairs the layout suits a growing family: a main bedroom with dressing area and en-suite, two further bedrooms and a versatile fourth room currently used as a study/snug or occasional bedroom. The property benefits from double glazing (fitted post-2002), mains gas central heating and off-street parking for multiple vehicles on a gravel driveway.
The plot offers privacy and a well-kept rear garden that is not directly overlooked, ideal for children or outdoor entertaining. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home working and family connectivity. Freehold tenure and no onward chain mean a straightforward purchase for buyers ready to move quickly.
Buyers should note the house was constructed before 1900 and external cavity walls are assumed to lack insulation; upgrading wall insulation could improve comfort and running costs. Council tax is moderate and the area is generally affluent with average local crime levels. Nearby schools include several rated Good and one Outstanding at secondary level, making this a convenient family location.
