Do you have a keen eye for interior design and a desire to transform a property into your own, all within an exceptional setting?… Then look no further — this charming home offers an exceptional opportunity to do just that.

Set along the prestigious Durton Lane in Preston—an area renowned for its semi‑rural charm, beautifully crafted homes, and excellent access to motorways, schools, and local amenities—this residence occupies an enviable position. Architecturally designed in the 1960s by Grenfar Baines, the home has been cherished by the same family for over 50 years, a testament to its enduring appeal and thoughtful design.

Beyond its distinctive architectural design, the property is complemented by substantial, mature woodland gardens that create an exclusive and tranquil setting. The generous turn‑in, turn‑out driveway provides impressive space for multiple vehicles, and the home itself is completely secluded from the road, offering exceptional privacy.

Upon entering, you are greeted by over 2,800 sq ft of beautifully arranged living space. A striking solid‑wood sweeping staircase leads to the first floor, accompanied by two reception hallways and three inviting reception rooms. One of these features a spiral staircase ascending to an additional bedroom, making it an ideal self‑contained area for a teenager, guest suite, or multigenerational living.

Additional ground‑floor features include a store room, a compact kitchen with an adjoining utility area, a guest WC, and integral access to the garage. The existing layout also offers exciting potential for reconfiguration, allowing the creation of a contemporary open‑plan dining kitchen to suit modern living.

The first floor offers five well‑proportioned bedrooms and two bathrooms, with the master bedroom enjoying a private balcony positioned above the garage—one of the home’s many unique and characterful features. While the property can certainly be enjoyed in its current condition, it would greatly benefit from sympathetic modernisation, making it an ideal opportunity for a buyer with the vision, time, and budget to elevate it to its full potential.

The property has a septic tank and gas central heating.
