Terraced house for sale in Brook Street North, Preston, Lancashire PR2

Overview

What’s The Opposite Of A “Doer-Upper?” A “Feet-Upper” perhaps? This superb move-in-ready mid-terrace could be the perfect high-quality first-time buy for busy folks who want to chill out in style rather than do diy or get the paintbrushes out.

If you’re the kind of person who always likes to buy the best, why let your standards slip when it comes to the biggest purchase you’re ever likely to make?

If you think compromise is a dirty word like diy, then you need to check out this fantastic three-bedroom mid-terrace. From the outside, it may look just like its neighbours on this tidy terraced row but when you step inside you’ll find a high-quality home that’s head and shoulders above the rest.

It’s the small things that can make a big difference - and one of the simplest ways to show ‘quality’ is by ripping out those cheap white four-panel doors and replacing them with solid oak doors instead. You get to see a couple of these doors when you step into the hall, along with the gorgeous lvt flooring that’s so much more stylish than laminate.

Your eyes will be drawn towards the fabulous kitchen/diner at the rear. It’s been opened up to create enough space for stylish fitted units and somewhere to sit and eat.

If everyone automatically heads to the kitchen, the lounge at the front can be somewhere to relax. It’s beautifully decorated with a stylish marble effect hearth and a wooden fireplace.

Upstairs has three bedrooms (two doubles and a single) along with a modern and practical bathroom.

There’s a low-maintenance backyard at the rear which is the only part of the property that could benefit from a lick of paint. A coat of bright white exterior emulsion on the walls and some greenery will transform this space and give it a cool Mediterranean vibe.

This property could appeal to couples and busy young families. With that in mind, it’s useful to know that the local Fulwood and Cadley Primary School is rated “Good” by Ofsted and is less than a 10-minute walk away.

If you spend a lot of time on the road it’s less than a 10-minute drive to the M55 and the M6. You pass Costa on the way, so you can call in at the drive-thru for a refill.

If you work closer to home, it’s only a 6-minute drive or a half-hour walk to the Hospital.

And 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.

This may not be the cheapest three-bedroom mid-terrace on the market at the moment but it might just be the best. If you’re always looking for quality - and prefer to have the work done for you rather than get your hands dirty with diy - you need to check it out and arrange a viewing.
