Set well back from Croston Road, this mid‑20th‑century detached house sits on an unusually large plot of around half an acre, offering scope for extension or redevelopment. The existing layout provides four bedrooms, two bathrooms and three reception rooms, plus outbuildings and a garage — attractive for growing families or developers seeking a sizeable town‑edge site.
The property requires full modernisation throughout: services are connected and heating is by mains‑gas boiler with radiators, but windows’ fitment dates are unknown and cavity walls are assumed uninsulated. Practical positives include double glazing (install date unknown), excellent mobile signal, fast broadband and very low local crime, helping make the house viable as a family home after works or an investment redevelopment project.
Key value drivers are the substantial rear and side gardens, outbuildings (including vehicle storage and ancillary barns) and proximity to good primary and secondary schools in Leyland and surrounding villages. Road links to Preston and the motorway are within a short drive, and local bus stops connect to nearby amenities.
Buyers should note material drawbacks plainly: the house needs comprehensive renovation, potential insulation and window upgrades, and council tax sits at a higher Band F. Tenure is not confirmed and any purchaser should verify this and obtain professional surveys before commitment. For those seeking a significant plot with redevelopment potential in a very affluent, low‑crime neighbourhood, this property presents a rare opportunity.
