This three-bedroom semi-detached house in PR26 offers clear scope to create a comfortable family home or a rental investment. The property sits on a decent plot with a lawned front and larger rear garden, detached garage and rear parking — practical outdoor space for children or tenants. Internally the layout is conventional: a full-width lounge, separate dining room and a basic fitted kitchen, plus three well-proportioned bedrooms and a single three-piece shower room.
The location is a strong practical selling point: close to Leyland town centre, convenient rail links to Preston, Manchester and Liverpool, and near several good primary and secondary schools. At about 925 sq ft, the house provides usable family accommodation and good potential to reconfigure the ground floor into an open-plan living area to suit contemporary living.
Important: the property requires modernisation throughout. Building fabric shows period cavity walls with no added insulation (assumed), double glazing installed before 2002, and an EPC rating of D. The bathroom and kitchen are basic and will need updating to reach modern standards. The wider area scores as deprived with a higher local crime level, which buyers should factor into planning for security and insurance costs.
For a buyer who can manage a renovation project, this home represents affordable entry to a well-connected part of Leyland with strong scope to add value through sensible improvements. It is best suited to first-time buyers seeking a project or investors able to refurbish for rental or resale.
