Description

A rare opportunity to acquire an impressive early 1900s detached family home in one of Longton’s most sought-after locations on Drumacre Lane West. Situated just 50 yards from the South Ribble Nature Reserve and approximately 150 yards from Liverpool Road, the property enjoys both a peaceful rural setting and easy access to Longton village and its excellent amenities.

Approached via a private driveway and occupying an elevated position within approximately 2 acres (OTA), Pembroke Dene enjoys stunning countryside views and exceptional privacy. The spacious accommodation includes four double bedrooms, three with en-suite facilities, a family bathroom, downstairs cloakroom, and gardener’s WC.

The elegant reception rooms combine character and comfort, featuring high ceilings, original period details, and an abundance of natural light. Large windows frame beautiful views across the gardens and surrounding countryside. The generous kitchen provides a practical and sociable space for everyday living and entertaining, complemented by a utility room and bright conservatory.

The grounds are a particular feature, comprising mature gardens, expansive lawns, and open rural vistas. A range of outbuildings further enhances the property, including a substantial detached building, timber summer house, wine cellar, stable, and detached double garage.

Offering significant potential for modernisation, extension, or alternative use of the outbuildings (subject to the necessary consents), the property presents an exciting opportunity to create a truly exceptional family home.

Despite its tranquil setting, Pembroke Dene is conveniently located close to Longton’s vibrant village centre, with its range of independent shops, cafés, boutiques, services, and amenities.

Offered with No Chain Delay. Viewing is highly recommended and strictly by appointment.
