Detached house for sale in Garstang Road, Preston PR2

A rare opportunity to acquire this outstanding property that has not been on the market for 66 years being in the same family for 4 generations. Upon visiting the property, you will fully appreciate the accommodation, the grounds and the location this home has to offer. With many original features including high ceilings, moulded plaster cornices and deep timber skirtings, partnered with superb modern introductions, this home stands out from its competitors. This unique property is set over two floors, and with the added benefit of a 2-bedroom attached dwelling with separate main access yet with internal connections to the main home, therefore adjacent yet independent, in our eyes gives huge versatility for an extensive range of buyers. Situated in the much sought-after area of Garstang Road in Fulwood, and a short distance from Royal Preston Hospital, the location provides the perfect accumulation of local amenities, city centre attractions, and unparalleled access to road, motorway, and rail networks.

Upon entering the property, you are greeted by a grand entrance hallway from which ascends the gently rising staircase. Doors lead to the main reception rooms and downstairs cloakroom/WC. The attractive lounge with feature fireplace for an open fire, and fitted window seating by the large bay window, provides a comfortable homely atmosphere. The large formal dining room also orientated at the front of the property also possesses a feature fireplace for an open fire and a large bay window. From the hallway access is gained to the extensive open-plan dining kitchen and orangery with panoramic views of the attractive landscaped garden to the rear. With 4-fold patio doors, large windows and velux roof lights flooding the rooms with natural light, this is the real heartbeat of the home. The kitchen has been fitted with a comprehensive arrangement of fixtures and wall and base units and is ideal for any family that enjoys entertaining. From the kitchen is a morning room/study with another feature fireplace for an open fire. A utility room is accessed from the kitchen with more workspace, wall and base units, an integral shower room, and a connecting doorway to the 2-bedroom dwelling adjacent. The property also provides a detached double garage with workbench and WC at its side.

The first floor has a spacious landing with doorways leading to all 4 bedrooms and family bathroom and is provided with ample natural light through 2 large feature windows. All 4 large bedrooms comfortably accommodate double beds and complementary bedroom furniture. The family bathroom is fitted with a 4-piece white bathroom suite. A doorway from the landing also connects to the first floor of the 2-bedroom home attached.

Upon entering the separate main entrance doorway to the 2-bedroom property adjacent, you are greeted by the hallway from which the spacious lounge, downstairs WC, integral double garage, large conservatory, and staircase are all accessed. Through the conservatory are doorways to the separate dining room and fitted kitchen. Double patio doors give easy access to the attractive landscaped garden.

From the upstairs landing, doorways lead to the 2 large bedrooms, which again comfortably accommodate double beds and associated bedroom furniture. The 3-piece shower room, and a separate walk-in storage cupboard with loft access, are also accessed from the landing.

Externally, the mature trees and shrubs provide complete seclusion from the road beyond, the attractive flint-stone gravel drive provides off road parking for multiple vehicles. A full-height hardwood gate gives side access to the extensive landscaped garden to the rear, the whole site totalling half an acre. The garden of 2 established lawns, planted borders, a vegetable patch, and mature trees is surrounded by a 6 foot high brick wall which provides an exceptional level of privacy. There is also a tile-roofed summerhouse, a brick-built garden store (formerly a dove-cote) and a fountain water feature to enjoy when sitting out on the extensive paved patio when either relaxing or entertaining on those warm summer days and balmy summer evenings.

This is an outstanding property and is a must for all who appreciate amazing living space, quality, and location. Coming in at 5,242 sq ft, you can understand why we are so impressed, and so pleased to be able to offer this home to you!
