Metamorphosis A great change in appearance or character; also, see 85 St. Leonards Road East, Lytham St. Annes. This beautiful and incredibly spacious home has undergone a complete transformation under the current owner. Clearly a labour of love, the wholesale refurbishment of this home begins with its very foundation with under floor insulation added to increase its energy efficiency and improve the warmth of the flooring above. The list of recent improvements to this home is almost endless. The walls have all been re-plastered and painted, new chandeliers installed throughout the home, new combi-boiler put in four years ago, new carpeting and laminate wood grain flooring installed throughout the home and a gleaming four piece family bathroom that has been completely refurbished and so much more. Read on!
Already endowed with beautiful period features like high ceilings and deep coving, this home has been graciously restored and expanded with a new and larger kitchen, a double floor extension on the back which enlarged one of the bedrooms, a new dual fuel wood burner in the living room with new chimney liner perfect to save heating costs on chilly days, new upvc double glazed windows and a boarded loft with skylights and a fixed ladder. It truly combines the best of old and new to create a harmonious living space just a short walk from the sea and nearby restaurants. The quality of the workmanship is phenomenal from the top-quality felted roof above the utility room with 17 years left on a transferrable warranty to the refurbished kitchen with bar seating and an abundance of electric outlets. The value at this price is outstanding.
The ground floor alone features a very large lounge/diner which occupies the entire front of the home and features a gas fireplace and a large bay window with a decorative rose stained glass, entrance hall, cloak room, wc, second lounge with wood burning stove and built in cupboards and shelving, sun room, kitchen, an integral garage with power entry door and a door into the kitchen plus a utility room and storage room off the back of it. The kitchen features a five burner gas hob, oven and integrated dishwasher and fridge. A second fridge/freezer is in the utility room along with plumbing for a washing machine and space for a dryer. And all of this is on a fantastic street in highly desirable Lytham St. Annes with off street parking for three or more cars.
Priced for considerable savings on stamp taxes, the first floor of this home features three large bright double bedrooms all with built-in wardrobes and attractive carpeting. But the piece de resistance on this floor is the large modern four piece family bathroom with gorgeous tiling, large corner glass enclosed shower, soaking tub and modern toilet and sink. Two windows ensure this bathroom is always bright during the daytime and a pleasure to spend time in. Like the rest of the home it conveys a sense of simple elegance and a devotion to a timeless aesthetic. On the practical side, the amount of storage space in this home is incredible. From the first floor hall a ladder leads to the boarded loft divided into two rooms and providing ample storage space illuminated by two skylights. There’s additional storage space in a room behind the utility room on the ground floor and a shed in the back garden.
The back garden stretches a full 60’ from the back of the home and is completely enclosed by a brick wall at the back and wooden fencing along the sides providing terrific privacy. There’s a paver patio just beyond the large sliding glass doors into the sun room which can also easily be accessed from the kitchen by a door from the attached garage. It’s an ideal arrangement for garden parties or outdoor barbeques and the back garden, which is mostly laid to lawn, can easily hold a large number of people or host a croquet match or a game of badminton. There’s even a private paved area behind the utility room where one can sit and enjoy a good book on a warm day or work on the laptop.
Come through the red door and have a look at this timeless beauty. Trust me, you’ll want to stay.
