As I drove up to this home I was impressed at its elevated position on the development and the size of the plot. At just over 0.2 acres the post is undoubtedly one of if not the largest on this development.

One of the biggest issues I am seeing for buyers in Penwortham is finding a home with good size living accommodation coupled with a large garden without the need to relocate to Hutton, Longton or Longton.

This home in Round Wood more that offers a solution to that challenge.

As you enter the home you come into the practical front hall area which offers plentiful storage for coats and shoes and gives a degree of separation from the main house.

The inner hall is tastefully decorated and offers access to all of the principal rooms to the ground floor and there is even room for a piano in the recess under the stairs.

The lounge is a great size for a growing family and has more than enough room to also accommodate the extended family on special days. This room is used more as the formal lounge and the other reception room adds great flexibility to the floor plan. The second reception room is currently used as a television room or snug and equally, it would make a wonderful playroom for those with younger children.

The dining room offers a great space for formal dining and the windows perfectly frame the well-tended and private rear garden. The kitchen diner is large enough to accommodate a good size dining table and has doors leading out to the rear garden which is ideal for entertaining.

Other family essentials found on the ground floor include a utility room and a separate WC. The utility also has a door that accesses the rear of the home meaning it can double up as a boot room when bringing the children or the dog in from a walk along the river which is just moments away.

In the period that Round Wood was built the proportions of the rooms were far different to what you may find on a new development today. This is seen nowhere more clearly than in the master bedroom which extends to 20' x 15'5. In some new builds, those dimensions would be made into two bedrooms. There is also a luxurious en-suite which has been refitted and benefits from both a bath and a walk-in double shower, ideal for a soak after a long day at work or a quick morning shower.

The other four bedrooms are a good size and bedroom 2 has its own en suite shower room. The other three bedrooms are served by the refitted fmaily shower room.

We are finding more and more buyers require a study from which to work and bedroom 5 is perfectly suited to this use and is exactly as the sellers utilize the space.

From the landing, there is access to the loft space which offers an abundance of storage which I know from experience is always an asset in a family home.

The rear garden has space for everything you will need. The garden has been well thought out and is well-established with a range of mature shrubs and trees. The garden is enclosed with fences and hedges and feels very private. Whether it be for summer entertaining, children playing or just relaxing the garden has it all.

The frontage has a sweeping driveway leading to the house which offers an abundance of parking for both owners and guests. There is also a properly portioned double garage which offers additional storage or it could be used for plenty of other uses.
