“The Best Of Old And New” Is Such A Cliché - Except When It’s True! This fantastic family home has a gorgeous wood-panelled snug but everywhere else is tastefully modern. It’s only a 2-minute walk to the hospital or there’s a garden office if you WFH.
This fabulous Fulwood family home brings together bygone era charm and the best of modern design into one spacious package.
It’s a traditional 1930s semi that’s been extended at the rear and improved throughout - to a superb standard.
Viewed from the quiet street, it looks unaltered - with a classic bay window into the lounge and a leaded porthole window.
The lounge has been sympathetically styled as a gorgeous wood-panelled snug - perfect for cosy evenings in front of the open fire with an elaborately detailed wooden surround.
The traditional snug is in sharp contrast to the more tasteful contemporary styling used throughout the rest of this versatile family home.
There’s a separate reception room at the rear - with a bay window that looks out to the back garden. In contrast to the wood panelled snug at the front this room is stylish and modern, with solid oak flooring and recessed spotlights in the ceiling.
As you’d expect, the welcoming kitchen and dining area is the heart of this family home.
The kitchen has shaker-style wooden cabinetry with quartz worktops and integrated appliances, including a dishwasher and a Leisure Rangemaster cooker.
There’s a handy pantry providing additional storage and a separate utility room and w/c, helping you to keep everything neat and organised.
The open-plan dining area is just as thoughtfully designed, with tiled flooring and plenty of room for a large family table. It’s a sociable space where you can share
meals or just catch up at the end of a busy day.
The substantial rear extension also includes a versatile playroom or gym with access to the back garden
Upstairs, the landing leads to three bedrooms, along with the stylish four piece family bathroom.
With its cast-iron fireplace the master bedroom at the front is worthy of a separate note.
There’s space to park on the gravel drive at the front and at the side of the house.
A wooden side gate leads to the 15m back garden. It has a large paved seating area, a lawn and a fully powered garden office - perfect if you work from home.
If you don’t work from home the location couldn’t be much closer to the Royal Preston Hospital - it’s literally 2 minutes walk away at the end of the road.
There’s a handful of shops, cafés and places to eat on nearby Garstang Road and Booths is even closer, just a 5 minute walk away.
The “Outstanding” St Peter's CofE Primary School and Nursery is less than a 10 minute walk away. The Leisure Centre and Fulwood Academy secondary school are on the same site, around 5 minutes drive away.
If you need to head into town to hit the shops or catch up with friends, it only takes around 15 minutes to drive to the city centre.
It’s the same distance to the station, where fast and frequent West Coast Mainline trains will take you to London and Glasgow, along with more local northwest services to Liverpool and Manchester.
And if you’re heading further afield by car, it’s in a really convenient location, less than 5 minutes drive to the M55 and the M6.
This impressive semi-detached property was designed to be the perfect 1930’s family home and since then it’s been thoughtfully updated, extended and improved - without losing its original character and style.
