About
An impressive and substantial five-bedroom period semi-detached home occupying a sought-after position within Fulwood and offering particularly versatile accommodation arranged over three levels.
The property combines the proportions and character associated with a traditional period home with a significant programme of improvement undertaken by the current owners.
Of particular note is the professionally converted and tanked basement, which has been transformed to create an excellent additional floor of usable accommodation and considerably enhances the flexibility of the house.
The main entrance opens into a welcoming hallway with staircase rising to the first floor and access down to the basement accommodation.
To the front is a generous lounge with an attractive bay window, whilst a second spacious reception room provides an ideal formal dining room, family room or additional sitting room.
The ground floor is completed by a substantial dining kitchen positioned towards the rear of the property, providing plenty of space for both everyday family living and entertaining.
The converted basement is a real feature of the home and provides a further sitting room, utility room, shower room and a generously proportioned study/bedroom.
Measuring approximately 3.80m x 3.62m, this room offers excellent flexibility and could be utilised as a fifth bedroom, home office or teenage space, making the lower-ground-floor accommodation particularly adaptable for modern family life.
To the first floor, the split-level landing gives access to four further bedrooms together with the family bathroom.
The principal bedrooms are particularly well proportioned, reflecting the generous scale and character of the original property.
Externally, the property is approached through substantial gate pillars onto a driveway providing off-road parking, with gated access continuing alongside the house.
To the rear is a raised patio area leading down to a mature south-facing garden, providing an attractive outdoor space with established planting and lawn.
The property is conveniently situated for the wide range of amenities available throughout Fulwood and north Preston, including highly regarded schools, Royal Preston Hospital and local shopping and leisure facilities.
There is also excellent access towards Preston city centre and the wider motorway network, making the location particularly convenient for commuters.
