3 bed detached bungalow for sale

Wheatley Drive, Longridge PR3

Perfect for active downsizers and families who want the balance of comfort, space and village living, this home brings together a relaxed layout, bright rooms and a lovely garden that makes day-to-day life easy.

It suits people who enjoy the calm that comes with a friendly community, but still want quick access to cafés, bars, shops and simple routes for commuting or school runs. The design keeps everything on one level, offering a sense of flow that helps each room feel connected and useful, so you can settle in quickly and make the home your own.

The lounge is one of the standout spaces. Its generous size means it works for many different lifestyles. For active downsizers, it offers plenty of room to relax after a full day or to entertain friends without feeling crowded, especially if you still enjoy hosting family gatherings or celebrating special moments. For families with teenagers, it provides enough seating for everyone to spread out, whether that’s for gaming, homework, movie nights or simply catching up. The wide window at the front brings in soft light and helps the room feel welcoming throughout the day.

The kitchen is arranged in a simple, practical shape that makes day-to-day tasks easy. Countertops sit where you need them, appliances slot neatly into place, and the layout keeps everything within easy reach while still offering enough room to prepare meals. It’s the kind of kitchen that supports both quick midweek dinners and slow Sunday cooking, and for families it works well as a central part of the home. For downsizers, the manageable size makes it easy to clean and maintain, while still giving you enough space to enjoy cooking if that’s one of your hobbies.

Beyond the kitchen sits the conservatory dining room, which is bright and open with views over the garden. It’s a room that easily adapts to your lifestyle. For some it will be the perfect breakfast spot, letting you enjoy morning coffee while sunlight spills through the windows. For others it may become a second living area, a place for teenagers to work on school projects, or a cosy corner for reading.

Practicality also plays a key role in the layout. A large utility room sits off the hallway, giving you a dedicated space for laundry, storage and day-to-day chores. It’s a helpful addition for families with school uniforms, sports gear or muddy boots, and it’s equally useful for downsizers who want to keep their main living areas clutter-free. A cloakroom nearby adds extra convenience, especially when hosting guests or when you’re in and out throughout the day.

One of the most flexible and valuable rooms in the home is the office. Its square proportions make it feel balanced and comfortable, and the space works brilliantly for those who work from home or need a dedicated study area. For active downsizers, this room may become a craft space, a quiet reading room or somewhere to keep hobbies that still play a big part in daily life. For families, the office can easily convert into a fourth bedroom if needed, offering room for teenagers, guests or even multi-generational living. Because it sits slightly apart from the other bedrooms, it also offers added privacy for older children or visiting relatives.

Moving through to the main sleeping area, you find three more bedrooms arranged in a quiet part of the home. This separation from the main living spaces brings a feeling of privacy and restfulness. The main bedroom offers comfortable proportions, allowing space for a large bed, furniture and personal belongings without feeling tight.

Two further bedrooms sit nearby. For families, these work well as rooms for children, giving them space of their own while still being close enough to feel connected. For downsizers, they become ideal guest rooms, hobby rooms or storage spaces depending on your needs. Their sizes mean they remain practical and comfortable even if you repurpose them over time, and they don’t feel like token small rooms.

The shower room sits nearby and is arranged in a straightforward, practical layout. It provides a clean, bright space with the essentials placed sensibly, and it's easy to keep in good condition. Its position close to the bedrooms ensures it serves family members, guests and daily routines.

The garden is a welcoming, low-maintenance space, featuring a large patio and decked area, vibrant flower beds, and a productive vegetable plot. Several outbuildings and a greenhouse add both functionality and charm. The current seller’s favourite spot is the sunny seating area, perfect for a morning coffee, a summer drink, or a G&T. Ideal for casual gatherings, the garden has hosted many family events, reflecting a home that has been well-loved and is ready for its next owners to create their own memories.

The property includes a driveway for convenient parking, ideal for families or downsizers who enjoy travel and daily activities. Presented in good condition throughout, the home offers flexible, single-level living with bright, well-proportioned rooms and a well-loved garden. Its thoughtful layout supports a lifestyle that balances comfort and activity, whether cycling at weekends, keeping up with gym sessions, or enjoying quiet moments at home, making it ideal for active downsizers and professional families alike.

Longridge offers true village life, combining a friendly, welcoming community with convenience and independence. The village centre has cafés, bars and independent restaurants, while nearby schools, nurseries, sports pitches and playgrounds support families, and local shops provide ease for downsizers. Excellent travel links, including buses to Preston and motorway access, make commuting simple, and the surrounding countryside offers scenic walking and cycling routes. With seasonal events and a strong sense of community, Longridge provides a safe, sociable setting that balances charm, practicality and outdoor living.

Together with the home, the location supports a lifestyle of warmth, relaxation and activity, from enjoying a coffee in the village to hosting gatherings or relaxing in the sunny garden nook
