Description

Ashton Cottage is a distinctive detached period property set on an impressive plot of about three-quarters of an acre in the sought-after area of Ashton-on-Ribble. This substantial family residence offers an ideal blend of historic character and modern living, making it a prime candidate for renovation or redevelopment. The home features numerous original details, such as exposed ceiling beams, alongside functional updates like gas central heating and partial double glazing. The accommodation spans two floors and includes a range of spacious rooms: from the welcoming entrance porch through to elegantly sized rooms including a sitting room, formal dining area, office/study, and a large breakfast kitchen with an AGA oven. The first floor hosts six well-sized bedrooms with several en-suite facilities and a luxurious family bathroom. A particular highlight is the outline planning permission previously granted for constructing an additional dwelling on the eastern side of the plot, providing exciting investment potential for buyers interested in self-build projects or multi-generational living options (subject to local council terms). The exterior boasts mature gardens that enhance privacy, backed by Ashton Park—a rare amenity close to urban conveniences including Preston city centre and excellent schools. Along with ample off-road parking leading to a detached garage, this property holds significant charm as well as considerable potential for future enhancements or developments.
