The Railway house
The blonde brick beauty beside Regent station - this is on a stormy day, it's not always this ominous - check out the real estate advert or read on: Period details with scope to re-imagine and expand!
Tightly held by the one family since 1968, this blonde brick beauty is ready for new owners to introduce an inspirational update and create a sanctuary that celebrates the past while delivering a perfect environment for contemporary living.
Façade detail, timber floors, ornate ceilings, decorative cornice and picture rails deliver classic aspects to an interior that introduces a spacious lounge flowing through to a generous dining area served by an original, functional, eat-in kitchen. The living spaces are complemented by two bedrooms sharing a bathroom, so retro, it's almost back in vogue!
In a location that's continually evolving and offers compelling future growth potential, the 370m2 corner allotment (approx) introduces a generous rear yard. Complete with a crazy paved alfresco area, a lemon tree, a garage opening off Robinsons Road, and a large workshop, it provides a fabulous area for relaxed entertaining while delivering space for an extension or even re-development (STCA).
They say that location is key and being opposite Regent Station and Bus Stop, and with High Street, the iconic Preston market and Reservoir’s thriving shopping, dining and café hubs a short walk or train ride away, everything you need is truly at your doorstep.
