OWNER QUOTE: "We love the individuality of the home, the space and the views."

With mature shrubs and a large front lawn, make your way to the front door and indoors, where the coloured stained-glass filters light through into the carpeted entrance hall.

Spacious and airy, there is plenty of storage available in the cloakroom ahead, whilst a quaint porthole window delivers light through into the downstairs WC, furnished with wash basin and tastefully decorated in earthy neutral tones.

On rainy days, access is also available directly into the entrance hall from the large, integral garage.

To the left, the large lounge is a spacious room for all the family, with a large window overlooking the garden to the front. Snuggle up on cosy winter nights before the warmth of the coal-effect gas fire, within its handsome surround.

Glazed double doors bring light through from the conservatory to the rear, tiled underfoot. Large, light and with verdant views of the mature trees and manicured rear garden, enjoy the outdoors whatever the weather, dining indoors and drifting out through the French doors to dine alfresco on the stone patio terrace in the summer months.

Also opening up from the lounge, access is available through to the formal dining room, again awash with light from French doors opening up to the garden. Carpeted underfoot with neutral shades to the walls, this versatile room could also serve as a playroom or snug, reconnecting to the entrance hall for easy flow.

The kitchen awaits next door, and there is ample scope to reconfigure these flexible reception rooms to a more modern day open-plan flow, should you choose.

Laminate wood flooring flows underfoot, harmonising with the array of cabinets, offering plenty of storage. Appliances include a built in oven and grill, stainless steel sink, offering views out over the garden through a wide window above, a gas hob, set before terracotta toned splashback tiles, and an extractor hood.

Beyond, plumbing is available for a dishwasher and washing machine in the utility room, where there is further storage and also space for a fridge, alongside access out into the garden.

Make your way up the wide, carpeted stairs, with its beautiful traditional spindles and classical wallpaper, to reach the broad and bright landing of the first floor.

To the left, a double bedroom brims with light, currently serving as a home office and carpeted underfoot. Bookshelves feature to the wall, with a fitted desk that could serve well for homework purposes or as a dressing table. Views extend out over the countryside in the distance.

Across the landing, fitted furniture provides ample storage above the bed and to the walls in the second of the double bedrooms, again sharing in those far-reaching vistas out over the quiet neighbourhood and to the distant countryside.

Make your way along the landing to the rear, where refreshment awaits in the bathroom on the left.

Soak away the aches in the Victoria and Albert rolltop freestanding bath, while your towel warms on the heated chrome ladder radiator. A larger than average separate shower with drench shower head also offers the perfect opportunity for a morning spritz. Tiled in white with black accents, this bathroom exudes classic style.

Offering enchanting views out over the large rear garden, a third beautiful bedroom, with wood-effect floor and dusky pink shades to the walls offers comfort and retreat, with ample space for a king size bed, wardrobes and drawers.

Storage is available in the closet on the landing, before continuing ahead into the principal suite.

Neutral toned carpet flows out underfoot, with soothing floral feature wallpaper above the king size bed. There is so much space for wardrobes and furniture, whilst a private ensuite features a good size drench shower, wash basin and WC, tiled in white with a sparkling silver embellishment. Wake up to peaceful vistas out over the garden to the rear.

Outside, soak up the sunshine on the patio, whilst listening for the occasional cheers from the local cricket club, or the telltale puff and chug from a passing steam train along the East Lancashire Railway.

Mature trees provide plenty of shelter and shade to the rear, whilst the low maintenance lawn is the ideal play area for children and pets in this safe and secure garden.
