If You’ve Got Big Plans, You Need A Big Blank Canvas. This substantial bay-fronted detached gives you plenty of scope to create your dream family home. And the 450m2 plot gives you even more options, as does the basement. Are you feeling inspired?
This traditional three-bedroom detached in Ashton-on-Ribble gives you a fantastic chance to create a truly unique space for you and your family.
It’s been lovingly cared for by the current owners and the existing layout is a great starting point, whether you have grand, ambitious plans or are just thinking of giving it a quick lick of paint.
The spacious living room is filled with natural light thanks to the large bay window which looks out to the neat front garden.
It's the perfect spot to relax with a good book or entertain friends and family. The dining room is equally spacious, with plenty of room for a large dining table, if formal dining is your thing.
The fitted kitchen is spotless but it’s probably the one room you’ll plan on tackling first. Being next to the dining room gives you options if you weren’t opposed to knocking through and opening up the two tooms to create a more sociable space.
There’s a small terrace just outside the kitchen and dining room with steps leading down to the private sunken garden. If you were thinking of reconfiguring the rear of the house you’d get a fantastic view of the leafy, mature garden if you fitted bi-fold doors leading to the terrace.
The private southwest facing garden is the perfect place to relax on a sunny afternoon or enjoy al fresco dining with friends.
There’s parking for several cars on the drive which runs down the side of the house to a detached single garage that offers ample storage space (or could even be converted into a home office, garden bar or gym)
Heading upstairs, you'll find two equally sized double bedrooms, a single bedroom and the family bathroom.
The master bedroom at the front benefits from another bay window, flooding the room with light. The second bedroom is another good-sized double and the third bedroom would make an ideal nursery or home office.
The bathroom is quite large, with beautiful stained glass windows but is another room that would benefit from an update. This gives you the chance to create a stylish and luxurious space to relax at the end of a busy day.
You wouldn’t think it from the front but the property has a substantial basement, accessed from the lower level garden. It shares the same footprint as the two floors above, giving you another 48m2 (525sq.ft) of space.
You’d need to consult an architect and run your plans by the planners but this versatile space does give you the option of adding a home cinema, games room or even a self-contained garden flat (subject to planning permission, of course).
Located in a popular residential area, this property is within easy reach of local shops, schools and amenities. Preston city centre is just a 10-minute drive away, offering a wide range of shops, restaurants and cultural attractions.
Ashton is a highly sought after area - and it’s easy to see why. It’s only a 5 minute drive (or a 15 minute walk) to the Docks and Ashton and Haslam Parks are even closer.
When you do need to head into town to hit the shops or catch up with friends it takes less than 10 minutes to drive, or you can leave the car at home and catch the bus from nearby Egerton Road.
Don't miss your chance to own this substantial Victorian detached which by now should have your creative juices flowing - thinking about how you could transform it into your dream family home.
