DESCRIPTION
GUIDE PRICE £550,000 - £600,000 Nestled at the quiet end of a peaceful cul-de-sac in Higher Preston, this beautifully improved 5-bedroom home blends modern family living with countryside calm. Step inside and you’re met with bright, stylish spaces—from the cosy lounge with its character fireplace to the breathtaking vaulted dining room, where picture windows and French doors frame sweeping rural views. The luxury kitchen, Seperate laundry/Utility room, quiet study, and welcoming breakfast area make everyday life feel effortless.
Across two well-designed levels, the home offers flexible bedrooms, including a serene master suite opening straight onto the gardens, along with high-quality bathrooms and a practical utility room.
Outside, the magic continues: expansive landscaped gardens flow into woodland, with resin pathways, a sunny patio, and a raised viewing deck perfect for sunsets. With parking for several cars, a greenhouse, and a log store, this home delivers tranquillity, space, and modern comfort—all just moments from local amenities.

Ground Floor Rooms
A bright hallway with elegant glass balustrading sets the tone for the quality throughout. The inviting lounge features a recessed fireplace with a charming cross beam and inset stove—perfect for cosy evenings.
The standout feature of this home is the stunning vaulted dining room, flooded with natural light from picture windows and skylights that automatically close when it rains. French doors open onto a raised viewing deck showcasing uninterrupted countryside views—ideal for entertaining or peaceful relaxation.
A smart study offers a quiet workspace, while the luxury kitchen/breakfast room impresses with high-gloss units, quartz worktops, a range-style gas cooker, and integrated appliances. The adjoining breakfast area provides a welcoming space for family meals. The upper landing houses a modern Vaillant boiler and leads to a versatile fifth bedroom, perfect for guests or as a hobby room. A stylish wet-room style shower room completes this floor.

Lower Ground Floor
The lower level reveals a bright, spacious master bedroom with French doors opening to the garden and beautiful countryside views. Its luxury ensuite includes a walk-in shower, vanity suite, full tiling, and ambient lighting—creating a calming private retreat.
Three further bedrooms offer flexibility for families, guests, or homeworking, all complemented by a high-end family bathroom featuring a large tub, modern fittings, and full tiling.
A well-equipped utility room with ample storage keeps household tasks neatly tucked away.

Outside
Step out of the house and the world seems to open up around you.
The first thing you notice is the quiet—an almost peaceful hush that only comes from backing onto woodland, where the breeze moves through the trees like a soft conversation. The gardens stretch out in front of you, wide and welcoming, the kind of space that immediately invites you to slow down and breathe.
A resin pathway winds gently across the lawn, guiding you through the landscape like a subtle storyteller. On sunny days, it glimmers slightly, leading you toward the patio where family breakfasts, barbecues, and late-evening laughter feel as if they were always meant to happen here.
The raised deck becomes your own private viewpoint—a place where the countryside reveals itself in layers of green fields, rolling hills, and sky that always seems just a little bit bigger. Morning light pours over the deck, turning that first cup of tea into a quiet ritual; in the evenings, this spot becomes a front-row seat to sunset colours and the gentle sounds of the woodland settling for the night.
Beyond the neatly kept lawns lie more natural garden areas, where the boundary between nature and home blurs beautifully. It feels like your own secret space: a place for kids to explore, dogs to roam, or simply somewhere to wander when you want a moment alone with your thoughts.
A greenhouse stands ready for those who love to grow things—tomatoes in summer, herbs for the kitchen, or maybe just the pleasure of nurturing something from soil to bloom. Nearby, a tidy log store waits patiently for colder months, promising warm fires and cosy evenings indoors.
With parking for several cars and convenient side access, every practical detail is taken care of. But it’s the atmosphere, the views, and the connection to nature that truly define this outdoor space. Here, the garden becomes not just part of the home, but part of your lifestyle—peaceful, expansive, and filled with possibility.
