We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Ben Rose Estate Agents are pleased to present to market this spacious three-bedroom semi-detached home positioned on a substantial corner plot in a quiet cul-de-sac in Leyland.
Offered for sale via auction, this property presents an excellent opportunity for families or buyers looking for a project, with generous internal space and clear potential to modernise and add value.
The location is well placed for everyday convenience, with nearby shops, supermarkets, schools and leisure facilities all within easy reach.
There are strong transport links close by, including regular bus routes, nearby train stations and straightforward access to major motorway networks connecting to Preston, Chorley and surrounding Lancashire towns.
Stepping through a small entrance porch, you arrive in a good-sized hallway with a window bringing in natural light and access to the main ground floor rooms as well as the staircase.
The main lounge is notably large and centres around a fireplace, offering plenty of room for family seating.
Double doors lead through to a generous kitchen/diner that overlooks the garden and includes useful understairs storage, though it would benefit from refurbishment and updating.
From the dining area there is access into a garden room, providing flexible additional living space and featuring a convenient ground floor W/C.
Moving upstairs, the spacious landing includes a window and connects to all first floor rooms.
There are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both with fitted wardrobes, along with a good sized single bedroom suitable for a child’s room, nursery or home office.
A shower room serves this floor. A further pull down staircase leads to an additional loft room with a window and eaves storage, offering versatile extra space for hobbies or occasional use.
Externally, the property stands out for its plot size. To the front is a driveway providing side-by-side parking for two vehicles along with a pleasant front garden.
To the side, behind gated access, is an additional driveway area with space for two more vehicles or a caravan.
The rear garden is particularly large and not overlooked, featuring a mix of artificial lawn, decorative stone areas, planting and mature trees.
A huge garage sits within the plot and offers excellent scope for use as a workshop or potential annex conversion, subject to the relevant permissions.
Overall, this is a sizeable home with flexible living space and outstanding outdoor areas, ideal for buyers ready to modernise and create a long-term family property.
