5 bed Detached House Sold STC
Egerton Road is up there with my favourite addresses in Preston. The wide tree-lined street provides a memorable street scene when you arrive at the electric gates of this prominent family home.
Immediately upon entering the driveway, you get a sense of the size and scope of the home you are about to enter. As you walk up the steps to the front door you can't help but be struck by the postmodernist design of the house.
The hallway has light flooding in from the large windows to the front and I immediately get a real sense of openness.
The main lounge has a high vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and to me is the centre of this home, the hub of family life and gives a feeling of connection to the rest of the house. There are doors leading out to the cantilevered balcony from the lounge and I found this to be a really tranquil place to sit and enjoy the views of all the mature trees in both the front and back gardens. With the bar area also located in the lounge, I expect the balcony could also become the perfect spot to enjoy an evening tipple with friends or a morning coffee.
The dining kitchen has an abundance of storage as well as a range of integrated appliances. The peninsula island breakfast bar is a great spot for informal dining or catching up with the family over a brew. The pantry or store room just off the kitchen is ideal for storing all manner of cooking equipment, perfect for those that love to cook up a storm. This room is connected to the adjacent second reception room which has a really flexible feel to it. It is currently used as a formal dining space as well as an additional seating area and I could also see it being used by many as a playroom or snug.
Doors from both these rooms lead out to the raised deck area which offers another space to sit, relax, dine and take in the sunshine in the warmer months. To the left of the deck, there is a gate which takes you down a somewhat hidden pathway to the office above the garage. This lends itself perfectly to being used as an office for those that work from home, a craft room or as a teenager's den.
Also on this floor, there is a useful shower room and a storage cupboard which is ideal to hide the clutter of shoes and coats away. The door to the immediate right of the hallway then takes you down to the next floor.
Here we find bedrooms 4 and 5 which are great size doubles. Both have fitted storage and share the use of the shower room which is contemporary in style and well-fitted. In addition, there is also the utility drying room. Usually, a utility room is shoehorned into a floor plan but not here. This is a great size for a family home with plenty of storage, a sink and hanging space for clothes.
The stairs up from the lounge lead to the other bedrooms and an additional bathroom. The main room is tastefully decorated in neutral tones, and has fitted storage and the dual-aspect windows allow an abundance of light to flood in. Bedrooms 2 and 3 are both doubles and again have fitted storage. All five bedrooms are relatively comparable in size meaning nobody has to have a small room and everyone has their own adequate personal space.
The main family bathroom is shared by these three bedrooms. Similar to the other bathrooms it is well fitted and modern in design and as with the rest of the house features lots of really useful storage.
The rear garden has a number of different zones. The raised deck area is the main setting and entertaining space but in addition, there is another patio area which also gets plenty of sun and offers an alternative seating and entertaining area. The garden has a number of mature trees and shrubs around the perimeter giving a real sense of privacy and a feeling that you could be in a much more rural spot than you actually are.
The driveway extends from front to back to allow parking in the double garage. The garage could also be used for storage or with some minor modification could become a home gym.
The driveway is gated which again offers more privacy and there is parking for 8 cars, which will be of interest to those with large families or frequent visitors.
My clients have loved this family home and have really enjoyed raising their family here. They have lots of cherished memories of family get-togethers and now is the right time for a new family to become the custodians of this home and to make their own memories here.
Could it be you? if you're looking for a great size family home with masses of flexibility and space then it certainly should be on your list of must view homes.
We look forward to showing you around.
