Riverside, Preston, PR1

3 Bed, 2 bath, 3 reception Edwardian Terrace situated in Preston

This incredible Edwardian villa, situated on historic ?Riverside? in Preston, has been sympathetically renovated over the last 14 years, and is a credit to its current owner. Complete with high ceilings, cast iron fireplaces, ceiling roses, picture rails and ornate cornices, this property has period character in abundance, and is ready to move into, with more space than most detached homes. The already captivating outlook over the River Ribble has been significantly improved recently, with the new glass-topped flood defence wall and promenade, which are just some of the improvements currently being made to the area. The setting of this decadent property is perfect for a stroll along the river and is within walking distance to the city centre, train station and the charming Avenham, Miller & Hurst Grange parks.

External/Gardens

This property really is the best of both worlds, with recently installed kitchen and boiler, roof renovation, and internal sympathetic decoration throughout, all with original character features thoughtfully retained. The property is situated 10 minutes to the town centre, railway station and motorway links, whilst still a stone's throw from local river walks and parks. Properties in this condition, in this type of location rarely become available, so early viewing is therefore advised!
