Description

This beautifully presented detached house is situated in a prime location in Lytham, just a short stroll from the vibrant cafés, restaurants, and amenities of Lytham Square. Accessed through secure electric gates, the property features two spacious reception rooms, a dedicated home office, and a utility room. The standout feature is the stunning kitchen, complete with a central island and doors that open onto an enclosed patio, creating an ideal space for both relaxation and entertaining. On the first floor, there are three generously sized double bedrooms, including a principal suite with an en suite bathroom, along with a separate shower room. The property is set within well-proportioned south-facing gardens that offer lovely open rural views to the rear, complemented by the added benefit of solar panels. Notably, this property presents an exciting development opportunity, as planning permission has been granted for two substantial detached family homes, each offering approximately 2,100 sq. ft. of accommodation with private gardens and garages.

Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This beautifully presented detached house is situated in a prime location in Lytham, offering modern finishes and spacious living areas. With a stunning kitchen featuring a large island and direct access to an enclosed patio, the property is ideal for both relaxing and entertaining. The well-proportioned south-facing gardens provide lovely rural views, enhancing the appeal of this home.

However, the asking price of £1,200,000 comes in at £571 per square foot, which is significantly above the local average of £255 per square foot, making it a dear option in terms of value. While the condition of the house is good overall, with no major red flags noted, potential buyers should consider the limited economic data available for renovation projects. This property presents a strong opportunity for someone looking to create a dream home while enjoying the benefits of a prime location.
