Detached house for sale in Leyland PR26, 5 Bedroom

Exuding grandeur and sophistication, this rather handsome detached residence has no doubt been cast many wistful glances by admiring passers-by, its characterful double-fronted exterior oozing the personality and charm which is synonymous with a bygone era of heritage and tradition. This exclusive home occupies a most impressive plot of circa three quarters of an acre, with the inside spaces marrying perfectly with the sizeable exterior, affording seemingly endless levels of space, to include four reception rooms, a gorgeous open plan kitchen with orangery, five good-sized bedrooms and two bath/shower rooms, all of which extends to circa 3,250 square feet of living space, and which also includes a superb detached double garage with accommodation above, measuring in excess of 1,010 square feet, which provides a wonderfully flexible space which could be utilised for a plethora of uses, particularly the potential to create a self-contained annex for a dependent relative who requires their own space, but also perhaps a gymnasium/games room, or indeed a work space for those requiring a base in which to work from home. This unique home of distinction is located within the highly desirable village of Croston, widely acknowledged as one of the prettiest of its kind in West Lancashire, an area renowned for its blend of prestige and country homes, as well as some of the most picturesque countryside in the county. The village offers that much sought-after quality lifestyle, resting beside the River Yarrow and with a delightful village green, the area has a number of welcoming public houses and eateries, whilst a number of well regarded local primary and secondary schools are close at hand – always an important consideration with any home of this type, with Croston railway station similarly convenient, which will be ideal for those who have a daily commute to consider. One enters the property via the reception hallway with its spindled staircase to the first floor and useful two piece cloakroom/WC, and immediately enters a state of impress, with this rather grand entrance setting the tone for the accommodation with one's first step across the threshold, continuing through into the vast 24' main lounge, with the feature fireplace being the focal point to the room, which brims with natural light via the delightful feature bay window to the front elevation. Three further separate reception rooms offer outstanding flexibility for a number of purposes, whether it be a separate sitting room, a playroom for the young ones, or a formal dining room, although most will choose to dine within the simply fabulous 21' open plan kitchen and orangery, a marvellous addition by our clients in recent years and offering a real hub of the home feel, as well as a wonderfully sociable space for entertaining, with the layout ensuring the nominated chef for the evening doesn't need to be excluded from the fun and with guests able to spill out onto the garden for an after-dinner cocktail or two in those warm summer months; extensively fitted with a range of contemporary high gloss wall and base units in white with contrasting black granite work surfaces, central island and featuring a host of integrated appliances, including high-level double electric oven, gas hob with extractor canopy, fridge/freezer and dishwasher. There is also a handy side porch. If one ventures up to the first floor, the landing provides access to the five super bedrooms, four doubles and a good-size single, including the 17' master suite, which boasts built-in wardrobes, as well as a gorgeous three piece en-suite shower room, with the remainder of the family suitably spoiled by the newly installed main bathroom, which is stylishly fitted with a four piece suite in classic white, comprising of WC, vanity wash hand basin, panelled bath and separate walk-in shower cubicle. Externally, the substantial driveway provides all the off-road parking facilities one could desire, as well as access to the detached double garage, whilst the magnificent gardens are a real horticultural treat, offering a delightful park-like quality against its stunning woodland backdrop, with an expansive lawn and mature trees and shrubs. This magnificent family home is available with the benefit of no onward chain and simply must be viewed to appreciate its size and wealth of character.
