Summary - 121, CROMWELL ROAD, PRESTON, RIBBLETON PR2 6YE
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious plot with annexe potential near city centre and transport links.
Detached period property on circa quarter‑acre elevated plot
Set on a generous quarter-acre plot, this distinctive detached property—locally known as The Cottage—offers substantial scope for modernisation and extension (STPP). Occupying an elevated position with an open rear aspect, the house retains period character while presenting clear potential for a contemporary family layout and landscaping to maximise the views.
The accommodation is flexible: three main-floor bedrooms, a lounge, dining area and summer room give comfortable living space, while a basement bedroom with shower ensuite and private entrance works well as an annexe, home office or guest suite. A gated driveway and garage with internal access add practical parking and storage.
Important practical points: the property is offered chain-free but requires modernisation throughout, including updating fixtures and finishes. Double glazing was installed before 2002 and heating is from a mains-gas boiler and radiators. Council tax is described as expensive and the wider area shows relative deprivation, so buyers should factor running costs and local market conditions into their plans.
Location strengths include close access to Preston city centre, nearby motorway links (M6/M55), reliable bus services and a selection of local schools, including Ofsted-rated options. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and there is no recorded flooding risk, making this a viable long-term family home or a renovation investment with scope to add value.
