Rare refurbishment opportunity in heart of Standish with stunning potential.
Occupying a lovely position on this established and highly regarded residential development just off Rectory Lane, this three-bedroom detached home represents an exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a true blank canvas within one of Standish’s most sought-after settings.
Offering good proportions throughout and requiring a comprehensive scheme of modernisation, the property provides buyers with the chance to completely transform and personalise the accommodation to their own tastes and requirements, creating a superb long-term family home in a location where opportunities of this nature seldom come to market.
The existing layout already includes two reception rooms, kitchen to rear, ensuite to the principal bedroom, gas central heating with a combination boiler and an integral garage, which itself presents further exciting scope for conversion or incorporation into additional living accommodation, subject to the necessary approvals. Given the size of the plot and neighbouring precedent within the area, the property also offers excellent potential for extension or reconfiguration, allowing purchasers to maximise both the footprint and future value.
The location is equally impressive, positioned within comfortable walking distance of the highly regarded St Wilfrid’s School together with the vibrant and historic centre of Standish village, renowned for its excellent selection of independent shops, cafes, restaurants, bars and everyday amenities. Externally, the property occupies a particularly attractive plot with good-sized rear gardens that back directly onto a natural running brook, creating a peaceful, private and picturesque backdrop rarely found within modern village developments.
Combined with the quiet setting and excellent surrounding amenities, this is a property with enormous promise and endless potential for those seeking a rewarding refurbishment project in a premium location.
