Small Things Make A Big Difference. There’s no better way to give a property an affordable “high quality” feel than with solid oak doors. Thankfully the rest of this much improved 3 bedroom family home maintains the same high standards, inside and out.

The internal oak doors are just one way this well-maintained semi stands out as being a cut above the rest.

It’s decorated using a tasteful white and grey colour palette that tones with the oak, giving the property a fresh, modern feel.

Flashes of colour are used sparingly but effectively - such as the bold blue chimney breast in the lounge. This draws the eye to the gorgeous fireplace with a cast iron gas fire and decorative inlay, wooden surround and tiled hearth.

The kitchen / diner will be the heart of this family home, somewhere everyone will love spending time together. There’s space for a small dining table - perfect for midweek meals - and French doors that lead out to the sun-trap back garden.

You’ll get a pleasant surprise at the size of the south facing back garden. It’s almost 20m long with a choice of patio seating areas and a well maintained lawn.

It’s not overlooked at the rear, there’s a wooded embankment beyond the back fence, giving the garden a feeling of leafy seclusion.

The outside space is practical, with space to park two cars (on the drive at the front and under the carport at the side) along with a separate single garage.

Given nobody parks their cars in the garage these days, that does give you options. It would be such a shame just to fill it full of stuff, you could turn it into a home office, games room or even a garden bar!

Upstairs has three double bedrooms - not the two doubles and a single you may expect.

The part-tiled family bathroom is stylish and modern, with a rainfall shower over the bath.

If you need to head into town it’s a pleasant half an hour walk along the river and through the park to the shops. If you’re in a rush you can drive it in under 10 minutes or it’s even quicker to get the bus from nearby.

If you need to catch the train it’s less than 10 minutes drive to the station. Fast and frequent West Coast Mainline trains will take you to London and Glasgow, along with more local northwest services to Liverpool and Manchester.

But you don’t need to head out of Penwortham for your day-to-day essentials. There’s a handy Spar, a café and a takeaway only a couple of minutes walk away on Leyland Road and a parade of local shops and takeaways on Pope Lane - all just a few minutes away in the car.

If you have younger children there’s a choice of primary schools nearby - all of them rated “Good” by Ofsted. St Mary Magdalen's is the closest - it's just 5 minutes walk away.

If you’re looking for a move-in ready family home that feels a little bit special - then this spacious 3 bedroom semi fits the bill.

It’s in a popular part of town and decorated as a neutral blank canvas, so you can move in and make yourselves at home.
