Beautifully upgraded, thoughtfully enhanced and occupying a particularly peaceful position within a small cul-de-sac, this impressive four-bedroom detached home offers approximately 1,509 sq. ft. of beautifully presented accommodation, including a detached garage, driveway parking and a wonderfully private rear garden.

From the outside, this is an attractive modern family home with excellent kerb appeal, but it is the quality of the improvements and the exceptional living space at the rear that truly set it apart. The current owners have gone well beyond the original specification, introducing beautiful oak internal doors, bespoke designer radiators and a series of clever storage solutions that make the house as practical as it is stylish.

A covered entrance opens into a welcoming hallway, where the home’s attention to detail is immediately apparent. Bespoke pull-out storage units have been incorporated beneath and alongside the staircase, providing an impressive amount of neatly concealed space for coats, shoes and everyday household items without compromising the clean, uncluttered appearance of the hall. There is also a contemporary ground-floor WC and access to each of the principal living areas.

Positioned at the front of the house, the generous lounge provides a comfortable and inviting retreat away from the main family living space. With windows to two elevations, the room enjoys plenty of natural light and offers ample space for substantial sofas and entertainment furniture. Its proportions allow it to feel cosy without being restrictive, making it equally suited to relaxed evenings, family film nights or more formal entertaining.

The real centrepiece of the home is the spectacular open-plan kitchen, dining and living area extending across the rear. Measuring approximately 23'8" x 14'0", this superb space has been designed around modern family life, bringing cooking, dining and relaxation together within one bright and sociable room. The kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of crisp Shaker-style cabinetry complemented by warm wood-effect work surfaces. A large central island provides additional preparation space and storage while also creating a natural focal point for conversation and informal entertaining. Integrated cooking appliances, a gas hob with stainless-steel extractor, dishwasher and generous space for a substantial fridge freezer complete the practical arrangement.

Beyond the kitchen is ample room for a full-sized dining table and a separate seating area, creating a genuine second living space rather than simply an enlarged kitchen. A series of roof windows flood the room with daylight, while wide bifold doors connect the interior directly with the garden. Whether hosting friends, enjoying a quiet morning coffee or gathering the family together at the end of the day, this is a room designed to be used and enjoyed.

A separate utility room continues the same attractive cabinetry and work surfaces as the kitchen, incorporating a sink, space for laundry appliances and further useful storage. An external door provides convenient access to the side of the property, helping to keep everyday household tasks away from the main living area.

Upstairs, the landing leads to four bedrooms and the family bathroom. The main bedroom is particularly impressive, measuring approximately 16'4" x 11'4". The layout has been carefully enhanced to maximise the available floor space, with extensive fitted wardrobes and intelligently arranged storage providing an excellent balance of practicality and comfort. There is ample room for a super king-size bed and additional bedroom furniture, while a private en-suite shower room features contemporary tiling, a glazed double shower enclosure, WC and wash basin.

Bedroom two is another generous double room with a large built in cupboard, while bedrooms three and four provide flexible additional accommodation both overlooking the rear aspect. One is presently arranged as a home office and the other as a dedicated dressing room with extensive open-fronted storage, demonstrating the versatility of the layout. Both could readily be returned to conventional bedrooms, making the house equally suitable for a growing family, home workers or buyers wanting dedicated hobby and dressing spaces. The family bathroom has been finished in a clean contemporary style, with stone-effect tiling, a panelled bath with glazed screen and shower above, WC, modern vanity basin and useful natural light.

Outside, the property continues to impress. The front garden is laid mainly to lawn, with established planting adding colour and character, while a driveway extends along the side of the house to the detached garage. The rear garden is an especially appealing feature. Enclosed by fencing and mature greenery, it enjoys an excellent degree of privacy rarely found on a modern development. A central lawn is bordered by attractive paved seating areas and low-maintenance decorative stone, providing several places to relax throughout the day. There is also useful external storage, gated access and direct entry into the open-plan living space, making the garden feel like a natural extension of the house during the warmer months.

Solar panels further enhance the home’s appeal, helping to improve energy efficiency and reduce reliance on traditionally supplied electricity. Daresbury Close occupies a quiet setting within the popular Cottam area, combining a peaceful residential environment with excellent everyday convenience. Scenic walks and cycle routes around the Guild Wheel and nearby canal can be readily accessed, while local schools, shops, Cottam Post Office, the Co-op and Miller Green are all within easy reach. Preston city centre and the motorway network are also conveniently accessible.

This is a home where virtually every area has been carefully considered and improved. The generous lounge, exceptional open-plan living kitchen, four adaptable bedrooms, outstanding storage, private garden and quiet cul-de-sac position combine to create a property that is both highly practical and genuinely special.
