Lytham Road, Preston, PR2

This one is a dream for someone who adores period properties! More spacious than most detached homes, this would suit families and couples alike.

Due to it's central sought after location, it is perfect for doing the school runs, getting into Preston city centre 2 miles away, easy access to the motorway for commuting and yet is also close to local parks and nature.

With high ceilings, fireplaces, ceiling roses and ornate coving, this beautiful home has been lovingly presented with bold interior colours, patterned wallpaper, lots of soft furnishings, textures and cleverly designed interior which really brings it to life.

Deceptively spacious living space allowing the modern family to enjoy separate living room spaces and yet the dining kitchen is also surprisingly larger than expected for a terraced home. It's hard to decide on your favourite room here. The living room to the front has a beautiful bay window overlooking the front wall and hedge enclosed garden. Feature open brick chimney with stone flagged hearth creates a lovely focal point to the room. The second reception is ideal as a formal dining room or further sitting room and comes with matching open fireplace as with the front living room.

The hallway has a timeless feel with strong forest green painted panelling, black woodwork and stunning basket weave flooring in a light oak colour. Neutrally carpeted stairs lead to two further floors of living space.

Perhaps my favourite room is the hub of the home to the rear. An elegant kitchen dining space with cast iron feature fireplace set in an exposed brick chimney adding to the characterful interior. Sophisticated dark shaker units with gold fittings and contrasting white silestone worktops to complete the classic look. Ample storage and a practical living space, flooded with natural daylight brought in through the bay window area which has a ceramic inset sink fitted and washing up space. The glacier oak basket weave flooring contrasts nicely to the units. Appliances include dishwasher and space for fridge freezer and Range cooker. Steps lead down to a utility room and separate WC also finished with same units as the kitchen and complimentary splashback tiling. An external door from the kitchen gives access to the courtyard garden.

The property also boasts a large basement, ideal for a basement conversion as has good height. Planning permission granted for further works. Power and lighting. Ideal for someone looking for a longer term project to create further space.

The upstairs living accommodation and spacious flowing layout continues with a split level landing adding to the feeling of space. The current owners remodelled this floor removing the original 4th bedroom to create a fantastic landing space with reading area and window to the front. Fear not though as the property still benefits from a second floor loft conversion with double bedroom.

All of the bedrooms are well sized and as with the ground floor, the current owner has lovingly brought the interior to life with strong colours and beautiful furnishings. Three double bedrooms all with cast iron fireplaces adding to the character. The best use of space in the family bathroom, means that one has a step in shower with rain shower and hand held attachment and a small roll top bath. The partly tiled walls in a crimson colour add to the splendour.

Bedroom 4 is also a double bedroom with full staircase on to the 2nd floor. Fitted with two Velux windows allowing ample natural light. Eaves storage to both sides.

Externally, the property has a courtyard style garden with gated access to the rear, Split level and a good size. Presents an ideal opportunity to put your own stamp on a garden design. Edged with wall and very secluded.
