4 bed Detached House Sold STC
An Extended And Much Improved Family Home On A Spacious Corner Plot, With So Much Further Potential.
This versatile family home has room for everyone, and thanks to the substantial cul-de-sac corner plot there’s scope to make it even bigger and better!
This four-bedroom detached is tucked away at the end of one of Fulwood’s most sought-after streets. It’s a quiet cul-de-sac made up of impressive detached family homes, in a super-convenient location if you work at either the hospital or college.
Since it was built this home has been thoughtfully extended and improved. Over the years it's been transformed into a versatile family home, able to cope with our busy and hectic modern lives.
The spacious family room and dining room will be where everyone loves getting together. It’s light and bright with French doors that open to the substantial back garden that also wraps around the side of the house.
If you wanted to make this even more of a sociable space, the kitchen/diner could be opened up to the dining room. That would make one large L-shaped room for cooking, dining and relaxing together as a family.
The ground floor also has plenty of options when you want some peace or a quiet place to relax. There’s a choice of a separate sitting room which also gives access to the garden, a study and a cosy snug with a traditional log burner.
The property is practical too. There’s a built-in single garage (with access from the study), a handy utility room and a downstairs w/c.
Upstairs has four double bedrooms (the master bedroom having an ensuite) and the family bathroom.
The property sits on a substantial 485m2 plot with parking on the drive for a couple of cars and a low-maintenance front garden.
But it’s the large rear garden - which also extends to the side - which will be perfect for summer entertaining or playing with the kids. It’s private and not overlooked, with trees and playing fields behind the back fence.
And the back garden does give you options. The house doesn’t need to be any bigger - it’s fine just as it is - but there is the potential to extend further to the side or the rear. All are subject to planning permission/building control approval, of course.
If you work at the nearby Preston College the campus is only a couple of streets away. The Royal Hospital isn’t much further. If you do work there you’d definitely leave the car at home and walk the short distance to the hospital site.
As this is a family home it’s reassuring to know that there’s a choice of “Outstanding” or “Good” primary schools nearby. St Clare’s is closest, on Sharoe Green Lane just next to the hospital.
Teenagers can enjoy a long lie-in, as both Corpus Christi High School and Archbishop Temple School (which is rated “Outstanding” by Ofsted) are even closer. Both are less than 10 minutes walk away.
You don’t have to go far for your daily essentials. There’s a Morrison’s Daily just a short drive away up Garstang Road, with a greater selection of local shops and pubs as you head towards Sharoe Green.
If you need to head into town to hit the shops or catch up with friends, it takes less than 10 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 convenient location, less than 10 minutes drive to the M55 and the M6.
This substantial four bedroom detached is in a great location, in a small cul-de-sac of impressive family homes. It’s close to great schools, the college and the hospital, on a substantial plot.
It’s in great condition - ready for you to move in and make yourselves at home - with the scope and space to extend or improve further to meet your family’s needs.
