Hoyles Lane, Preston, Lancashire

Living A Luxury Life Can Be A Lot Of Fun Too! This impressive four double bedroom detached will be perfect for families who live life to the full. It’s superb quality and has plenty of space for socialising, inside and out.

142 Hoyle Lane is set behind substantial iron gates on its own substantial 700m2 (7,500ft2) leafy plot.

And when you pull onto the drive at the end of a busy day - closing the gates behind you - you’ll know that your efforts will have been worth it as now you get to enjoy time with your family in your fabulous home.

Originally built after WWII as a luxury home for prosperous families, since then it’s been thoughtfully extended and improved. It’s now even more impressive than ever - and ideally suited to our busy modern lives.

It certainly has the kerb appeal “Wow Factor” - you can’t fail to be impressed as you pull onto the multi-car block paved drive next to the immaculately manicured front lawn.

Stepping into the hall will give you an immediate sense of the quality and style that’s present throughout this impressive family home. You’ll love the gorgeous Amtico flooring, the stairs with oak handrails and glass balustrades and the glimpse of the fabulous kitchen / diner / family room at the rear.

The kitchen is definitely the most impressive room in the house. It’s the one where you’ll want to spend most time too!

It’s been significantly extended and improved, creating a superb sociable space that’s ideal for grabbing a quick slice of toast in the morning or catching up at the end of a busy day. It will be equally adept at hosting large, lively gatherings - with fabulous bi-fold doors that open to the back garden’s stylish tiled patio area, lawn and pergola.

No expense has been spared when fitting out the kitchen. The bespoke Siematic units and quartz worktops exude quality, and the Miele double oven and Ceram ceramic hob will be perfect for any budding MasterChefs.

It’s a practical space too - with underfloor heating under the stylish tiled floor and a separate utility room (matching the style of the main kitchen) for your appliances.

If the kitchen is the main social hub of the home there’s plenty of options if you want to slip away - to relax in peace or do some work.

There’s a spacious lounge with a log burner and a stone fireplace, a smaller reception room with French doors to the garden and a separate study - perfect if you need to do some work or make a call.

Upstairs has four good size double bedrooms and the luxurious four piece family bathroom.

The master bedroom is particularly large and impressive, also benefiting from a stylish ensuite shower room.

The back garden gets the sun in the afternoon and evening and will be the perfect place for hosting a summer party. There’s a choice of seating areas - both with protection from the elements - and a 20m lawn for the kids to pay on.

There’s parking for several cars on the drive at the front along with a built-in single garage.

If you have younger children, school run stress will become a thing of the past as Cottam Primary School (rated “Good” by Ofsted) is less than a 10 minute walk away.

Cottam Village Green is opposite the school, a lovely green space featuring the Kings Maze and sculptures by local artists.

You don’t have to go far for your daily essentials. There’s a Co-op foodstore, conveniently located on the way to the school - so just a short walk away.

If you need to head into town to hit the shops or catch up with friends, it takes less than 20 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 family home really is something special.

It’s great to see how an older luxury family home can be improved to keep pace with our busy modern lives - and to keep up with the very latest designs and specifications.

There really is something for everyone.

There’s plenty of room to get everyone together or welcome friends and family for a party. But there are also plenty of options when you want to escape to relax or do some work.
