Detached house for sale in Hardhorn Road, Poulton-Le-Fylde FY6

If you’re in search of an aesthetically stunning and spacious family home, 222 Hardhorn certainly won’t disappoint. Spanning over 3,000 sq ft, this distinguished family home is representative of some of the finest architectural design Poulton has to offer. Its position amongst reputable schools, transport links and unique hospitality venues make it the perfect choice for a modern family looking for room to grow.

They say first impressions matter, and the first impressions as you enter this home are sure to blow your expectations out of the water. Extensive floor to ceiling glass panels surround the front door, not only enhancing the kerb appeal - but allowing for swathes of vast light to enter the entirety of the entrance area throughout the day. Underfloor heating spans the ground floor, and if you’re a fan of a more minimalist aesthetic and clean lines then the Venetian plaster walls, high ceilings, solid wood staircase and stairway lighting are sure to tick your boxes.

To the left of the entrance hall, the principal lounge offers views across the front aspect through a large bow window, with Parisian-style panelled walls elevating the space. An ambient fireplace set within built-in storage units completes the look, whilst also providing useful space for keeping household items or children’s toys hidden away.

Back to the entrance hall, you will approach the property’s incredible family space to the rear through impressive Crittall doors. To the current owners’ credit, this space has been extensively renovated and extended over recent years to become the epitome of class, pairing design with function perfectly. All work surfaces are manufactured from solid quartz, as is the oversized island positioned centrally within the kitchen, incorporating a casual seating area with an integrated Neff induction hob. The integrated appliances within the kitchen, including a warming tray, double oven and grill and dishwasher, are all manufactured by the premium Neff brand. The integrated fridge (with a ready-installed ice machine) and freezer are both separated by a built-in, full length wine cooler - ideal for your completion day champagne. The sink is accompanied by a Qooker boiling water tap, and the beautiful Karndean flooring throughout has been specially adapted to complement the aesthetic of the space. A formal dining space is positioned adjacent to the kitchen, allowing for more intimate dinners and celebrations of special occasions.

Whilst the kitchen and family space is open plan, the cooking and formal dining area is separated from the entertainment/family area by an impressive integrated fireplace, with two built-in televisions on either side of the wall. This space allows for keeping family and friends close at hand, whilst the chef of the family cooks up a storm. Aluminium sliding doors lead from the kitchen directly into the Mediterranean-esque garden space. The porcelain-style patio area allows for early morning coffees or dining al fresco in the summer months, and the aesthetic is accentuated with mature borders and trees. The tiered level provides space for children or dogs to play on the lawn, while parents can relax around the firepit.

Also on the ground floor lies a dedicated office space, which could easily be reconfigured to suit your family’s own requirements. A separate ground floor WC and additional utility space can also be found, keeping laundry and washing appliances away from the kitchen area. Crittall doors separate each “zone” of the house, amplifying the spaciousness with their transparency. Access to the integral garage is via the entrance hallway, adding extra space and conversion potential to the ground floor level if required, but also allows for more secure vehicle parking if needed.
