Description

This charming two-bedroom terraced cottage, dating back to approximately 1819, offers a unique blend of historical character and renovation potential. Nestled in the desirable Higher Penwortham area, the property is conveniently located near Hurst Grange Park and a range of local amenities, including schools, supermarkets, and quaint shops. One of the standout features of this home is the double-width driveway at the front, which provides rare off-road parking — a significant advantage in this type of property. The traditional exterior hints at its rich history while also integrating into an established residential community. Upon entering, you'll find a practical entrance porch leading to a hallway that connects to the main living spaces and staircase. The spacious living room features a large front window that fills the space with natural light. A focal point of this room is the inviting fireplace, perfect for creating a warm atmosphere on cooler days. The kitchen/dining area at the rear presents excellent renovation potential. With ample room for customization, it serves as an ideal canvas for those looking to design their dream kitchen. The adjacent door opens to a private courtyard garden, extending your indoor living space outdoors; it’s well-suited for relaxed entertaining or simple outdoor enjoyment. Upstairs, you’ll discover two bedrooms: a sizable double that offers flexibility for furnishings and storage, along with a comfortable single bedroom suitable for various uses such as an office or guest accommodation. The three-piece shower room is functional as-is yet allows for personal touches and updates. The rear courtyard garden basks in sunlight and provides an enjoyable space for morning coffee or evening relaxation. Its low-maintenance nature adds convenience without compromising outdoor space. Higher Penwortham is renowned for its attractive blend of green spaces and proximity to urban conveniences. With easy access to Preston city centre and transport links, this location caters well to families, first-time buyers, and investors alike. This cottage stands out not just as a home but as an investment opportunity ripe for customization while being surrounded by vibrant local life.
