3 bed detached bungalow for sale

Clifton Drive, Lytham St. Annes FY8

Nestled quietly between Ansdell Village and Fairhaven Lake, this beautifully maintained detached dormer bungalow enjoys a setting that perfectly captures the relaxed, village-style charm and coastal appeal that make this corner of Lytham St Annes so sought after.

Just a short stroll from Fairhaven Lake and the seafront, and moments from Ansdell’s shops, cafés and train station, it offers privacy, space and convenience in equal measure.

Offered with no onward chain and with a part-exchange for a smaller property considered, this is a rare opportunity to secure a substantial coastal home with generous accommodation, beautiful gardens and excellent scope for future development.

The property has been carefully improved and modernised, including new double glazing within the last five years, a Worcester boiler, bi-folding doors, a recently installed family bathroom, and high-quality engineered wood floors.

With two large garages, dual conservatories and a substantial south-facing garden, it provides a sense of peace and space that few coastal homes can match.

An Impressive First Impression

Approached through remote-controlled electric gates, a broad tarmac driveway sweeps past the mature front garden and provides parking for several vehicles. Established shrubs and trees give privacy from the road, while the manicured lawn and smart frontage create instant kerb appeal.

The handsome exterior hints at what lies within – a well-planned interior of around 2,000 sq ft, designed for flexible living. Whether you’re seeking a family base, a coastal retreat or somewhere with space for relatives, this home delivers.

A UPVC glazed entrance door opens into a bright vestibule with tiled flooring and large windows to the front and side. There’s a built-in cupboard for coats and shoes as well as access to the gas meter. From here, a glazed door leads into the welcoming hallway, complete with radiator, picture rails and decorative coving.

It opens directly onto the patio and lawn, creating an effortless indoor-outdoor flow.

Dining Room / Study with Lantern Roof

Between the two conservatories sits a flexible dining room or study (14'8 × 9'2). The striking lantern-roof light floods the space with daylight, making it an uplifting environment for work or meals.

This room connects seamlessly into the second conservatory – giving the rear of the property a wonderful sense of openness and connection with the gardens.

Gardens and Outdoor Living

The rear garden is a true highlight – a large, south-facing oasis designed for relaxation and entertaining. Expansive lawns are framed by mature fruit trees, shrubs and a decorative water fountain.

A paved terrace outside the conservatories provides the perfect area for outdoor furniture and barbecues, with sunshine throughout the day.

There’s even a rear gate leading onto St Paul’s Walk, giving a quick route straight to Fairhaven Lake. Imagine evening strolls around the water or morning coffee at the lakeside café – all within a minute of leaving your garden.

The front garden is equally generous, combining lawn, ornamental planting and established trees. The electric gates add privacy and a touch of grandeur on arrival.
