This newly renovated three-bedroom semi-detached house combines period character with a modern extended open-plan living kitchen, ideal for everyday family life and entertaining. The property includes a separate lounge, utility room, WC and a four-piece family bathroom — practical layouts for a growing household. Outside offers generous driveway parking, a fenced garden with patio and decking plus a summer house with power and water.
The home sits within walking distance of local shops, the river and cycle paths, making weekend outdoor activities and daily errands straightforward. Nearby schools include both highly rated and mixed-performing options; Penwortham Girls’ High and All Hallows Catholic High are notable stand-outs.
Buyers should note a few important practical considerations. Heating currently relies largely on portable electric heaters and the main fuel listed as house coal, so the property will benefit from an upgraded central heating system for efficiency and comfort. Walls are assumed to be original cavity construction with no added insulation, which may affect running costs despite the current EPC rating of C.
There is a medium flooding risk for the area and the house dates from the 1930–1949 period, so buyers should factor in potential long-term maintenance or remedial work. Overall this is a well-presented family home offering a blend of period detail and contemporary living, best suited to buyers wanting a ready-to-enjoy house who are also prepared to invest in heating and insulation improvements.
