Large garden, brook-side outlook and strong loft extension potential in historic Ribchester.
Deceptively spacious single-storey living, 1,255 sq ft internal area
A deceptively spacious three-bedroom semi-detached bungalow occupying a generous corner plot in the sought-after village of Ribchester. The single-storey layout already offers comfortable living: large lounge, dining room, fitted kitchen/diner, sun room with panoramic garden and brook views, and three well-proportioned double bedrooms. The extensive mature gardens wrap around the house, include patio seating, greenhouse, timber sheds and gated hardstanding suitable for caravan or campervan storage.
The property offers significant upside for buyers prepared to modernise or extend. There is substantial attic space with good head height and obvious potential to create a full second storey subject to planning — a practical route to transform the bungalow into a larger family home. The integral garage and driveway provide parking and scope for conversion or reconfiguration.
Buyers should note a few material points: the home has an oil-fired boiler recorded among environmental features alongside mains gas heating and radiators (buyers should verify current systems), an Energy Performance Rating of E (53), and external walls show weathering and climbing planting that will require management. The plot adjoins a brook and has a medium flood risk; appropriate insurance and any required flood-mitigation measures should be considered.
Well suited to downsizers seeking generous single-level accommodation or families wanting a waterside village setting with scope to enlarge, this bungalow combines immediate liveability with clear potential to add value through modest refurbishment or a larger extension. Ribchester’s village amenities, good local schools and low-crime environment add to the appeal.
