3 bed detached house for sale

Leighton Drive, Leigh WN7

Offered to the market with no onward chain. To the front of the property, a generous imprinted concrete driveway comfortably accommodates up to three vehicles, leading to a welcoming porch complete with integrated storage.

To the left-hand side, a slimline brick-built storage area extends the full depth of the home—an ideal space for a motorcycle, bikes, tools, or garden equipment.

Step inside to a bright and spacious lounge that instantly feels inviting. The former garage has been thoughtfully converted to create a flexible additional room —perfect as a snug, home office, playroom, or even a fourth bedroom, depending on your needs. At the heart of the home lies a stylish open-plan kitchen/diner featuring sleek granite worktops, an integrated dishwasher, and an induction hob. This space seamlessly connects to a separate utility room and a convenient downstairs WC. To the rear, a charming sun room with a feature log burner and French doors opens onto a private, not-overlooked garden and patio area—ideal for both entertaining and quiet relaxation.

Upstairs, you’ll find three generously sized bedrooms. The master and second bedroom both enjoy the luxury of modern en suite bathrooms, providing added comfort and privacy. A spacious, fully boarded loft with lighting and ladder access offers excellent storage or future conversion potential. The current owners previously obtained planning permission (now expired) to add a fourth bedroom above the existing converted garage—an exciting opportunity that could be explored again.

Sustainability is a standout feature of this home, with energy-efficient additions such as solar photovoltaic panels, voltage optimisation technology, a high-efficiency condensing combi boiler, and a cosy log burner—helping to reduce running costs and environmental impact.
