5 bed detached house for sale

Melling Fold, Preston PR1

Bridgfords Estate Agents are excited to present to the market a unique five-bedroomed modern family home with enormous, flexible living space and extensive private gardens. The property would ideally suit a large family with several people working or studying from home as it offers many permutations of use of space and is completely private.

Internally the house has a vast open-plan living-dining-kitchen area, a utility room and an inner hallway with three double bedrooms and a family bathroom. Upstairs is a feature gallery landing, a master bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a brand new en-suite. There is a spectacular upstairs lounge of 40 m2 with a Juliet balcony, and a fifth double bedroom with access to a gigantic floored and boarded attic. The total living space is approximately 227 square metres, or 2,445 square feet (excluding the attic and garages).

Externally the whole estate, which is not overlooked from any direction, is around a third of an acre. There is parking for several cars, a double garage with additional workshop area, a bamboo gazebo and a further single garage. Full planning permission has previously been granted for a conservatory balcony and porch, and there is potential for a building plot for another detached house. The property has solar panels generating 5.5kW of electricity and two storage batteries.

The house is situated on a private, gated, elevated plot a few metres from the River Ribble and the Guild Wheel, walking distance to Avenham and Miller Parks, Fishwick Nature Reserve, and the Capitol Centre retail park, cinema, gym and restaurants. It is very close to the A6 and only 5 miles from BAe and the new National Cyber Force at Samlesbury. Preston City Centre, the train station and the university are 1.5 miles and the hospital 3 miles. Cardinal Newman, Christ the King, Frenchwood Primary and Lancaster University School of Mathematics are all within easy walking distance.
