The dining area features a charming bay window, while the sitting space enjoys direct access to the outdoors through elegant patio doors, offering lovely views of the established garden and its beautiful weeping willow tree.

Upstairs, the home offers three bedrooms. Two are generous doubles, with the master bedroom featuring a large bay window that brings in plenty of light, and the second bedroom offering peaceful views over the rear garden. The third bedroom, accommodates a single bed, bunk beds or would make an ideal nursery or comfortable home office. The family bathroom is spacious and practical, complete with integrated storage and an over-the-bath shower. The landing area adds a touch of charm to the upper floor, highlighted by an original stained glass window that infuses the space with character. There is also a spacious attic room with lighting and power, which is accessible via a retractable ladder .

Outside, the property truly comes into its own. The rear garden is both generous and private, beautifully maintained with a combination of lawn and patio areas, mature shrubs, and tall trees that include a stunning willow. Bathed in sunlight, it provides the perfect backdrop for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying family time. There is also an outdoor WC, along with access to a detached single garage and a driveway offering space for two/three cars. There is an extensive and delightful lawn area plus patio space to the front of the home offering potential to open or extend the driveway. Double gated access provides additional security and privacy, with the property framed by tall mature trees that ensure the home is not overlooked from either side.

While the property would benefit from some modernisation - reflected generously in the asking price and allowing for a rare change to upgrade to a detached property in this price range - it presents a fantastic opportunity to create a truly exceptional family home. Full of character, brimming with potential, and set within a peaceful, prestigious location, this is a blank canvas ready for someone to make their own and individualise and enhance to their hearts' desire. The generous garden space and natural indoor-outdoor flow make it a particularly special offering in one of Penwortham's most desirable residential areas.
