Property description
You may have driven along Lightwood Road out of Longton many times but we are almost certain that you will barely have noticed this house and if you value privacy and security then this is likely to be a property at the very top of your list. It occupies a large plot at the junction of Lightwood Road and Lockets Lane with corner and rear gardens which are fenced and walled to ensure maximum privacy. What's more, tall double gates lead from Locketts Lane into a secure and extensive driveway, double garage, workshop and car/caravan port. It is also conveniently situated for local amenities and access to major road networks.
The house is well presented and well maintained. In the past it has been rewired, re-roofed, loft insulation and is double glazed with the exception of one small feature window. Central heating and hot water is supplied by a recently installed gas combi boiler.
The accommodation within the house is really a surprise. Retaining many period features, it is elegant, spacious and offers two reception rooms as well as a huge kitchen and breakfast room. There is also a recently modernised cloakroom which also houses the boiler. Leading from the kitchen is a very useful cellar and utility porch leading to the rear garden which is furnished with hot/cold water and power, plus a dryer vent. Upstairs there are three bedrooms of very usable size, a heated airing cupboard and a recently modernised shower room.
Viewers will certainly appreciate that there is a potential here for a significant extension to the property or even a building plot on the land to the side, subject of course to appropriate consents.
The viewing of this spacious property is highly recommended.
We would love to arrange an appointment for you to view this property. To arrange an appointment please e-mail or telephone our Longton office and we will be delighted to make arrangements.
