5 Bed Detached House, Planning Permission, Leyland, PR25 3UF £379,995

An open-porch provides protection from the elements, which is always handy when it's pouring with rain and you're back with a load of shopping.

Stepping through the front door, we enter into a generously sized hallway with its stylish wood effect flooring that welcomes you in. It's kept nice and bright thanks to the window in the door and a separate window next to it. A large and useful storage space sits under the staircase, with a selection of other doors leading to all of the ground floor accommodation.

Starting with the first door on our right as we enter the home, we step into what was being used by the previous owner, a home office. The beauty of this house is, it's versatility means you have a wealth of options as to how you use each room. Here would make an ideal bedroom five, office, gym, play or games room, you decide. A window offers views over the front aspect.

Back into the hallway and opposite the last room, we come to the spacious lounge. In here we find a media wall with a stylish real flame effect inset glass fronted fire. If you are looking to set the mood, this fire creates an ambient setting on a cold winters night while having a cosy movie night. A large bay window sits at the head of the room, and a set of French doors at the other end open to reveal a large separate dining room.

If you like entertaining large groups of friends or family members, then this home will be the go-to house of choice for future events. The dining room offers space for a large table and chairs, and sitting opposite the kitchen, is ideally located. But, even better than this room, a set of patio doors open to reveal a very spacious orangery.

If the dining room wasn't large enough, then the Orangery is an exceptional space, ready to take the largest of tables for the largest of social events. With it's glass polished tiles and ample spot lights, this is a room for many functions, a home gym would be spectacular in here, or it's a space for whatever you need. A set of patio doors open onto the rear garden.

Heading through the dining room, we step from here back into the hallway, where a door on our left, opens to a very useful cloakroom. With all of the usual suspects that you'd expect to find in here, it answers all the questions thrown at it in the time of need. A frosted window offers light and privacy, as it looks directly into the Orangery.

Next to the cloakroom and directly opposite the dining room, is the kitchen.

Fitted with stylish glossy floor and wall mounted units, this kitchen offers everything you'd expect to find in here. Work-surfaces cover three walls and provide plenty of space for food preparation and also space for all of the 21st century gadgets that we've become so reliant on today. There's a void with plumbing for the must have dishwasher that no home should ever be without. A window offers views over the private rear garden and a door opens to.....

.....a very handy separate utility room. Here you have another useful work-surface with another sink. Below are more storage cupboards and a void for the washing machine. It's kept nice and bright in here thanks to the large rear facing window and also the glass panel in the door to the side garden. Another door opens into the internal garage.

This is another, very useful, large great space that has many options available. If you went for planning permission, it could become another room in the home, although, this house has plenty so far, but it provides more future proofing for you, just in case! Or, it could be used for its original purpose, and put a car in there.

Now, if we go upstairs, a banister runs the full length of the landing to numerous rooms. It's kept nice and light up here thanks to a window that looks out over the front aspect. A loft hatch provides more space for storing all the things we need, some day!

The main bedroom is a very good size and with its bay window allows plenty of light in. Ample space for a large bed of any size, as well as freestanding furniture, and there are some built in wardrobes too. A door opens to the must have en-suite shower room.

This has been recently fitted with the latest bathroom ware that includes, a smart wall mounted toilet, a very fetching pastel pink vanity sink unit with LED display, a glass fronted walk-in shower with fixed rainforest shower and also a separate hand-held shower for those harder to reach places. Of course we have a frosted window to let the light in, and keep those prying eyes out.

The remaining three bedrooms are all doubles, obviously they get smaller as we go along, but not by a great deal, even bedroom four is a generous size, which is unusual in a modern house. The only real difference, apart from the outlooks, is that bedroom two has a built in wardrobe.

Finally, we come to the main family bathroom. Again, recently fitted with the latest kit, there's a wall mounted toilet with chrome flush fitting, a wall mounted vanity sink unit with chrome waterfall mixer tap, a jacuzzi bath with a glass shower door, and a fixed rainforest shower head above. Attached to the bath, on a pull out lead, is a very useful hand held shower attachment. The floor and walls are completely tiled for easy cleaning, and then we have the frosted window to keep the room nice and bright. A wall mounted heated chrome towel rail finishes this room off beautifully and helps to keep you and your towels toasty throughout the year.

Outside, and we head to the rear garden. Directly outside the Orangery is a large area of decking, ideal for when the party spills out into the garden or if you feel like BBQ'ing, or just sitting and relaxing with a good book and a glass of wine. The rear is totally private and protected by some large trees and a wooden fence that runs the whole perimeter. A patio takes up another section of the garden and leads to another, different style of patio in the far corner. It's as if you have different sections for individual uses.

At the other far corner of the garden, sits the summer house, office, relaxation pod, bar or again, whatever you feel would be the best fit. Double doors with large glass panels open to invite you in, and if I owned this house, it would be turned into a cocktail bar....well in my head anyway, but somehow I don't see my wife agreeing!
