This substantial Victorian detached house on Marsh Lane occupies a very large 0.5-acre plot and offers immediate scope for a family home or a renovation-led project. The existing property extends to about 3,000 sqft across four/five bedrooms with period features such as high ceilings, sash windows, decorative mouldings and prominent fireplaces; double glazing has been fitted since 2002 and heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators.
Planning permission (South Ribble Council ref. 07/2024/00350/HOH) has been approved for a two-storey extension that would increase accommodation to roughly 5,000 sqft, creating strong potential to add an annex or significant additional living space. The current layout already includes a self-contained annex area with kitchenette and shower room that could suit multi-generational living or a rental opportunity.
This is a renovation project: the house needs updating throughout and cavity walls are uninsulated (assumed), so buyers should budget for modernization and energy-efficiency works. The EPC is band E. Practical considerations include medium flood risk in the area, slow broadband speeds, and an expensive local council tax band. Crime levels are very low and mobile signal is excellent, and the location benefits from desirable local schools and countryside walks.
AI-enhanced images demonstrate potential outcomes but are illustrative only. The property will suit buyers seeking a character home with scope to extend and personalise, investors targeting an extended resale or rental proposition, or families wanting large grounds on one of Longton’s most prestigious roads.
