Darkinson Lane, Lea Town, Preston

Welcome to a truly exceptional five-bedroom detached residence, beautifully situated in the sought-after hamlet of Lea Town, just outside Preston. Designed by the highly regarded Firth Architects and completed in 2013, this remarkable home offers a rare fusion of striking architectural design, state-of-the-art eco-technology, and contemporary luxury throughout. It’s not simply a house – it’s a lifestyle statement.
Built to exacting standards, the property boasts outstanding fabric efficiency and is constructed around a timber frame that achieved Passive House accreditation. The home is designed to offer year-round comfort with minimal environmental impact, making it ideal for the discerning buyer who values sustainability as much as style. Triple-glazed Weru composite windows, filled with argon gas and finished in anthracite grey, ensure exceptional insulation while complementing the bold exterior. The front door features biometric entry, adding a layer of modern convenience and security. Matching anthracite aluminum fascias, soffits, and gutters create a seamless aesthetic that continues through to the detached double garage.

Internally, the accommodation is as versatile as it is impressive, offering five generous bedrooms and multiple living areas, designed to suit both modern family life and entertaining on a grand scale. The home also benefits from a centralised media distribution system wired with Cat 7 cables to all rooms – including the garage annex – making it ideal for high-performance home working, streaming or gaming environments.

Designed for energy efficiency and reduced running costs, the house features a 4kW solar photovoltaic system with an active Feed-in Tariff, currently generating approximately £1,000 per annum – a valuable income stream that will transfer to the new owner.

A 7.2kW Andersen EV charger is already installed for electric vehicle users, and a 5,900-litre underground rainwater harvesting system supplies water for toilet flushing and outdoor use such as car washing or garden irrigation. Inside, a high-specification SieMatic kitchen is fitted with a premium mix of Miele and Neff appliances, including a Zip tap for instant boiling and filtered water. The three stylish bathrooms are fitted with Villeroy & Boch sanitaryware and benefit from programmable underfloor heating, adding a touch of everyday indulgence.

Further features include an internal air recirculation system, electric remote-controlled entrance gates, and Hormann automatic sectional garage doors, all designed to maximise comfort, convenience and security. The detached garage offers significant potential for a variety of uses, including as a home office, gym, or studio, subject to any necessary consents.

Set in peaceful Lea Town, the property enjoys a semi-rural feel while remaining well-connected. With easy access to Preston, Garstang, and the M6 motorway, and within close reach of highly regarded local schools and countryside walks, this location offers the perfect balance of tranquility and convenience.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a thoughtfully designed, high-performance modern home that’s as practical as it is beautiful. Viewings are highly recommended to fully appreciate the exceptional lifestyle on offer.
