Description

Nestled in a well-connected location within the sought-after area of Preston, this semi-detached property presents a valuable opportunity for renovation and investment. The home is conveniently close to local amenities, including shops, a doctor's surgery, and main bus routes—ideal for easy access to nearby towns and services. Just a short stroll away, you can enjoy the scenic Preston beach and seafront, along with reputable primary schools in the vicinity. While this deceptively spacious home offers a solid foundation, it requires modernisation throughout to unlock its full potential. It features off-road parking at the front and an entrance porch leading into an expansive hallway that branches out to a lounge with a charming bay window, a dining room currently used as an additional bedroom, and a breakfast room that connects to the kitchen. The property also includes practical spaces such as a rear lobby/utility area that provides access to the generous rear garden—a blank canvas that boasts various concrete areas and a vegetable patch, perfect for outdoor enthusiasts or families. Upstairs reveals three double bedrooms plus a study, alongside a bathroom and separate W.C., offering ample room for reconfiguration according to your needs. The extensive garden is enclosed and features storage outhouses for tools or workspace. This property stands as an exceptional prospect for those looking to invest in renovations within a vibrant community setting.
