Summary - HUNTERS LODGE MELLINGS FOLD PRESTON PR1 4PD
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious family residence with large gardens and strong development potential.
Five double bedrooms and two bathrooms across 2,445 sq ft living space
Set on a private, elevated third-of-an-acre plot a few metres from the River Ribble, this unique detached house offers extensive flexible living across 2,445 sq ft plus a huge floored attic. The layout suits a large family or anyone needing dedicated home-working space: two large reception rooms, a dramatic double-height living area with gallery landing and Juliet balcony, plus a substantial 40 m2 upstairs lounge. Solar panels (5.5 kW) and two storage batteries reduce running costs and generate regular income.
Externally the site is a strong asset: extensive landscaped gardens, mature trees, paved and decked areas, a pond, bamboo gazebo, parking for several cars, a double garage with workshop and a separate single garage. There is clearly scope to add value — a previously granted planning approval covers a conservatory, balcony and porch, and the very large plot offers potential for an additional building plot or outbuilding subject to consents.
Practical points to note: the house dates from the late 1960s/1970s and, while spacious, may benefit from updating and modernisation in places. There are five double bedrooms but only two bathrooms, which may feel tight for larger families. Glazing install dates are unknown. Council tax is above average. Google Street View does not show the exact private-road location.
This property is well positioned for local green amenities, excellent transport links and a range of schools. It will suit buyers prioritising space, privacy and future development potential rather than those seeking a turn-key, recently refurbished home.
