13 St. Wilfrid’s Park, Halton, Lancaster, LA2 6PN

Beautifully presented throughout, the property offers warm and inviting accommodation over three floors, characterised by a generous use of natural wood finishes. The current owners have thoughtfully updated and improved the home since their purchase in 2007, creating a stylish and comfortable living environment.

The ground floor comprises a welcoming entrance hall with extensive wall-to-wall coat storage, leading through to partially open-plan sitting and dining rooms. These spaces work well together, centred around a homely gas flame-effect fire, making them perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen is fitted in a sleek, contemporary style, offering both practicality and modern appeal.

On the first floor, there are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, one benefitting from a full wall of fitted wardrobes, alongside a single bedroom with built-in storage. The family bathroom is attractively appointed, featuring a bath with rainfall shower over, vanity unit, WC and bidet.

A space-saving staircase rises to the loft conversion, which provides a generous additional and versatile room served by a shower room with shower, wash basin set on a console unit and WC. There is also excellent storage provision within the under-eaves areas.

Externally, the property continues to impress. The smart front garden has been neatly block paved and is enclosed with pedestrian and vehicular gates, creating a secure environment for children or pets while also providing ample off-street parking. To the rear, the garden is a particular highlight, an unexpectedly large and level lawn, ideal for family use, with two useful stores or workshop spaces at the far end. Between them sits a covered seating area, perfectly suited for outdoor cooking, dining and entertaining.

Furthermore, the generous plot offers clear potential to extend (subject to the necessary permissions), while still retaining a substantial outdoor space.

An ideal family home in a sought-after location. Ready to move straight into and start enjoying whilst also offering longer term potential to add value.
