This Grade II listed semi-detached house combines genuine period character with careful modern upgrades. Sympathetically restored by a craftsman, the property retains stone walls, inglenook fireplace and original features while providing contemporary comforts such as underfloor heating across all ground-floor rooms and mostly double glazing.
The layout suits family life and entertaining: a dual-aspect lounge, dramatic dining room with large inglenook, a bright kitchen with glass roof and adjoining sunroom with bi-fold doors. Three first-floor bedrooms share a four-piece bathroom. Outside there is driveway parking, a west-facing rear garden and a substantial tandem garage with separate studio — ideal as a home office, gym or additional accommodation subject to listed-building and planning constraints.
Buyers should note material points plainly: the property is Grade II listed so alterations will be restricted and may require specialist consent. The gas pipe is currently capped and would need reconnection if gas heating is preferred; the home uses electric heating plus underfloor heating at ground level. Council Tax Band E is above average.
Overall this is a rare, characterful home on a large plot close to Leyland town centre and local schools, suited to buyers who value historic charm with upgraded services and who are comfortable working within listed-building controls.
