Shirley Lane
Longton, Preston, Lancashire, PR4 5NJDescription
A rare opportunity to acquire this attractive three-bedroom semi-detached traditional home, occupying an enviable rural position with uninterrupted views across the surrounding countryside. With potential for modernisation throughout, this property provides the perfect canvas to create a distinctive and individual residence.
Set within an impressive 0.31 acre plot, this desirable property, formerly a smallholding, enjoys an open aspect to neighbouring fields while remaining conveniently close to the highly sought-after village of Longton, offering the perfect balance of countryside living and local amenities.
The property is surrounded by extensive, mature gardens, and small orchard thoughtfully established over many years to create a private and picturesque outdoor setting with a predominantly south facing aspect. Complementing the main residence are a range of substantial external buildings and outbuildings, presenting exciting potential for further development, business use, storage, workshops, or conversion opportunities (subject to the necessary consents).
Properties in this highly desirable location rarely come to market, making this an exceptional opportunity for buyers seeking space, privacy, and future potential in a prime rural setting.
Entry to the property is taken via a welcoming entrance hall which leads into a bright and spacious living room, providing a comfortable setting for everyday family life. There is a handy under stairs storage cupboard along with a feature fireplace with an electric stove set within an attractive brick surround.
To the rear of the property can be found a well presented kitchen which offers ample work space and storage. The family bathroom can be found off which offers a bath with shower over along with a pedestal sink and point for a washing machine. A rear porch provides access to the back garden and also boasts a handy WC.
Moving upstairs to the first floor are three bedrooms, including a generous principal bedroom and two further bedrooms that are ideal for children, guests or a home office.
One of the standout features of this property is the exceptional outdoor space that it is set within. Boasting a total plot of approximately 0.31 acres (0.12 ha) the home benefits from a long driveway providing ample off-road parking and attractive front and rear gardens.
There are a range of useful outbuildings to include a brick-built store offering four separate storage rooms, presenting excellent opportunity for use as is, or for reconfiguration. Across the drive can be found three versatile wooden cabins which are again perfect for storage or repurposing. Further down the garden can be found a large detached storage shed/workshop boasting a concrete floor and dwarf brick wall. This building offers excellent flexibility and could be utilised as a workshop, hobby room, studio or additional storage subject to any necessary permissions.
Whilst now in need of some general refurbishment, the property is well presented and offers the opportunity for immediate occupation along with a wide range of opportunities for renovation, reconfiguration or extension.
