Detached house for sale in Preston PR3, 4 Bedroom

There’s hardly a more parent friendly place on the entire Fylde Coast than Cabus where this delightful home is located. This 11-year young house is going to be reluctantly relinquished to its next lucky owners by the present owners who have fully enjoyed this terrific location and its wonderful schools, peaceful setting, convenient location near major bus routes, proximity to the family-friendly market town of Garstang and the quaint village of Scorton, but no longer need this much space. So now this terrific opportunity presents itself and when opportunity knocks . .

Backing to the banks of the River Wyre and land that will always remain undeveloped, this well-built brick home contains three well-cared for and attractive floors ideal for young or growing families. There’s hardly anything on the typical wish-list that’s not found in this home. Starting with the exterior, the front and rear gardens are low to no maintenance allowing more time to focus on other activities such as children’s activities and school, travel, weekend walks and hikes, favourite hobbies, volunteering and so much more. There’s an attractive flagstone patio in the rear garden with steps down to another durable composite deck. There’s even a bit of land beyond that between the deck and the river if you need a space for dogs, but its care and maintenance doesn’t impinge on your weekends. Modest community fees pay for the care of this part of the property. You truly get to enjoy the peace and quiet of an undisturbed natural setting in your back garden without having to work to maintain it. That’s just brilliant!

Two sets of glass doors from the flagstone patio allow separate entries into the kitchen, via French doors, and the dining room, via sliding glass doors. Both doors provide not only ease of access to the rear garden for entertaining or dinner al fresco but also lovely views and warm natural light that fills both of these rooms. The expansive kitchen is a dream with its copious counter space and cupboards allowing the cook in the house to easily stay organized. It’s hard to imagine there being too many cooks in this kitchen with its bar seating area, breakfast area and additional buffet counter and storage. It’s truly a gathering place in this home with attractive tiled floors and integrated fridge/freezer and dishwasher all with modern and organic wood paneling in a soft hue.

The flooring in the hallway, living room and dining room is quite special. Made to look like real wood and tile, but much more durable, the flooring is Karndean, a designer flooring that's easy to look after. It still looks brand new which is a testament to the quality of it and its warmer to the feet than traditional flooring. Young children and dogs will have a hard time spoiling the beauty of this flooring. It’s particularly attractive in the living room because of the large dimensions of this room and the lovely bay front window. Centered on the far wall of this room is an electric fireplace that looks like a piece of art and has changeable discs allowing for differing types of images. It’s practical as well as being attractive as it does generate heat with a bit of panache on those dark chilly winter nights. Completing the ground floor is the often overlooked but extremely convenient wash closet.

On the first floor are three of the four bedrooms in this home and two of its three full bathrooms. Here’s another place where the home itself shows itself to be a joy to parents. A large master bedroom with its own entry hall or sitting area with a lovely arched entry greets one on this floor and is a just reward for the hard working adults in the home. Complete with a three piece en-suite bathroom, the master bedroom features larger and smaller built-in cupboards and windows in the entry, main part of the room and en-suite bathroom giving the room a bright and sunny aspect. Like the rest of this floor and the second floor above, sans bathrooms, attractive carpeting cushions the footfall. Speaking of bathrooms, the family bathroom on this floor is almost cavernous, but certainly far more attractive than a cave. Set in appealing and timeless gray and white, there’s a large corner bathtub as well as a nice shower and the immersion tank is neatly tucked away here in a cupboard. All of the showers in this home are so easy to clean because they are pod-style which doesn’t easily hold dirt, grime and mold. Of the remaining two bedrooms on this floor, one has built-in wardrobes and both are large enough for double beds.

It’s the second floor the kids will fight over. Here there is a large bedroom with dormer window and skylights, a large built-in wardrobe and, surprisingly, a large en-suite bathroom. It’s perfect for the teen or college student or just for out-of-town guests. It’s just nice as a parent to have these choices! The area as well provides a plethora of choices and recreational opportunities. There are nearby walking trails that lead to Scorton and Nicky Nook and a stroll into the High Street in Garstang is easily done. The 41 and 42 bus routes between Lancaster and Preston are easily accessible a short distance up the road and located within three miles are the Garstang Community Primary School and the Nateby Primary School both Ofsted rated Outstanding and many other schools that have achieved a Good rating. Parenting is stressful enough so why not live in a home that helps to melt it away?
