Boyes Avenue, Catterall | Three bed semi | Extended garden room | NO ONWARD CHAIN, PR3 0HB

Set within the heart of popular Catterall, this extended three-bedroom semi-detached home offers the kind of space, location and versatility that makes for a wonderful long-term family home.

Having been cherished by the same family for more than 20 years, the property has evolved during their ownership, including the addition of a superb garden room that creates an extra reception space overlooking the rear garden.

Now offered to the market with no onward chain, this is an excellent opportunity for a new owner to make the house their own and enjoy everything this particularly convenient part of Catterall has to offer.

Stepping inside, a bright and welcoming entrance hallway provides access to the ground-floor accommodation, with a staircase rising to the first floor.

Positioned at the front of the home, the living room has a cosy and inviting feel, centred around an attractive feature fireplace with an inset multi-fuel stove.

There is ample room for a comfortable suite and occasional furniture, creating a lovely space in which to settle down in front of the fire during the colder months.

The kitchen is light and practical, fitted with a good range of wall and base cabinetry providing generous storage and preparation space.

There is room for a freestanding cooker alongside provision for a washing machine, tumble dryer and dishwasher, making this a functional space for everyday family life.

Opening directly from the kitchen is the dining room, where there is plenty of space for a family-sized dining table and additional furniture.

Its open relationship with the kitchen works particularly well for both day-to-day living and entertaining, allowing family and friends to gather without the cook being tucked away from the conversation.

Beyond the dining area is arguably one of the home's most appealing additions. The extended garden room has become the family's principal everyday reception space and it's easy to see why.

Generously proportioned, it currently accommodates a large corner sofa together with a television area, creating a relaxed room from which to enjoy the garden throughout the seasons.

A solid roof gives the room the feel of a true extension to the house rather than a conventional conservatory, while Velux roof windows, glazing to two elevations and a door allow natural light to pour into the space.

During the warmer months, the door can be opened directly onto the garden, creating a natural connection between inside and out. For a future owner, this is also an incredibly versatile room.

It could work equally well as a second lounge, children's playroom, larger dining and entertaining area, hobby space or even a substantial home office.

Heading upstairs, the first floor provides three bedrooms and the family bathroom.

The principal and second bedrooms are both spacious doubles, offering comfortable proportions for bedroom furniture and storage.

The third bedroom is currently fitted with a cabin-style bed incorporating useful storage, making clever use of the available space.

Depending upon individual requirements, the room could continue as a child's bedroom or alternatively become a nursery, dressing room, home office or craft room.

Completing the internal accommodation is the family bathroom, fitted with a bath with shower over, wash hand basin and WC.

Externally to the front is a lawned garden alongside a generous driveway providing off-road parking for several vehicles.

Its length and layout could prove particularly useful for anyone needing space for a work van, campervan or motorhome. A detached garage provides further parking, storage or workshop space.

To the rear, the garden has been designed with ease of maintenance in mind, creating a private outdoor area where the emphasis is firmly on relaxing rather than spending every weekend gardening.

Direct access from the garden room makes it an ideal extension of the living accommodation during spring and summer, whether enjoying a morning coffee, dining outdoors or entertaining friends and family.

Catterall has become increasingly sought after by families and commuters looking for village living while retaining excellent access to Garstang, Preston and the wider Lancashire road network.

Garstang Community Academy is conveniently positioned nearby at Bowgreave, making the area particularly appealing to families with secondary-school-age children, while Garstang itself is just a short journey away and provides an excellent range of independent shops, supermarkets, cafés, restaurants, pubs, healthcare facilities and everyday amenities.

For commuters, the A6 is readily accessible, creating a straightforward route north towards Garstang and Lancaster and south towards Preston.

Connections to the M6 place the wider North West within easy reach, making the property well positioned for those travelling towards Preston, Lancaster, the Fylde Coast and beyond.

Heading east also opens up access towards the beautiful countryside, villages and market towns of the Ribble Valley.

Barton Grange Garden Centre and its farm shop and restaurants are easily accessible along the A6, together with The Flower Bowl Entertainment Centre, offering cinema, bowling, curling, crazy golf and a range of other activities.

Families are also well placed for Billy Bob's at Myerscough, with its American-style diner, ice cream parlour and children's play facilities, while nearby Bilsborrow is home to the characterful Owd Nell's and the Lancaster Canal – perfect for waterside walks followed by something to eat or drink.

For those who enjoy the outdoors, the surrounding countryside offers an abundance of walking and cycling opportunities, while the Forest of Bowland and Ribble Valley are within comfortable reach for weekends exploring some of Lancashire's finest scenery.
