Set along a wide, sweeping road, Ribble Drive greets visitors with a sense of space and serenity. The paved, gated driveway offers secure parking, while the front courtyard, centred around a feature evergreen, invites dreams of a potter’s paradise or tranquil mornings in the sun. Classic red brick and a semi-detached silhouette evoke timeless charm, with the driveway stretching down the side for easy access and ample street parking for guests.

Step through the front door, framed by generous windows that bathe the entrance porch in natural light. Terracotta tiles underfoot and exposed brick walls set a warm, welcoming tone, while the original stained-glass window above the door adds a touch of artistry and tradition. There’s plenty of space to kick off shoes, hang coats, or stow leads after a long walk; every detail is designed for comfort and ease.

A room designed for slow Sundays, laughter-filled evenings and fireside conversations that drift long into the night awaits just left of the entrance hall. High ceilings and soft carpets create a sense of openness, while neutral tones on the walls offer a canvas for personal style. The large bay window frames leafy vistas, inviting the outside in and filling the room with tranquil views. A feature gas fireplace anchors the space, perfect for winter evenings, while deep alcoves offer potential for a media wall or display shelves. Currently, two deep-seater sofas invite conversation and relaxation, making this a truly social heart of the home.

Flowing to the rear, horizontal flooring leads into the open kitchen diner. Here, a stunning feature fireplace in the dining area brings traditional character, complemented by modern touches in wallpaper, flooring, and styling. Patio doors open to the garden, blurring the boundary between inside and out, and inviting sunlight and fresh air into every gathering.

A kitchen that hums with homely enchantment, where recipes become rituals and laughter seasons every dish, awaits beyond. Shaker-style cabinetry, installed in 2018, offers both beauty and abundant storage. Integrated appliances including an oven, electric hob, overhead extractor, Belfast-style sink beneath a window, dishwasher, washing machine, fridge freezer all make daily life effortless. Pantry storage keeps everything organised, while the window above the sink offers a view of the patio and garden, turning even the simplest chores into moments of quiet reflection.

Return to the entrance hall and ascend the solid wooden staircase, where a soft carpet runner and characterful detailing lead the way. At the top, a rose-stained window casts colourful light across the landing, creating a bright and uplifting space. A space where mornings arrive gently and evenings glow quietly.

The main bathroom, refurbished in 2018, features dark tiling underfoot, blush-painted walls, and high-gloss grey tiles around the toilet, sink, and shower bath unit. Chrome fittings add a touch of luxury, while ample storage and loft access make this a practical family space. Blissful ablutions await, beneath cascades of sunlight and the hush of fragrant waters.

The principal bedroom is a solace bathed in sunlight, where dreams drift like silk and mornings bloom in golden splendour. Neutral décor and a light grey feature wall create a restful retreat; there’s space for a king-size bed, bedside cabinets, and plenty of wardrobe storage. Views stretch across the garden and park beyond, perfect for families, dog lovers, or anyone who treasures nature. In summer, rhododendrons bloom in vibrant pinks and purples, painting the outlook with colour.

At the front, the larger bedroom offers generous storage and a peaceful spot for quiet reflection or a guest retreat.

The third bedroom, also overlooking the front, makes clever use of space with a wardrobe above the staircase; ideal for a nursery, children’s room, or a private workspace. Light pours in, making every morning feel fresh and full of promise.

Step through the patio doors into a garden that pirouettes through the seasons, from blossom-strewn springs to golden autumns. Rhododendrons line the border, their blooms alternating in spring and summer, while fuchsias add bursts of colour in late summer. The garden unfolds across different levels, a grass area for play, a patio for alfresco lunches, and a shingle space at the bottom with a garden shed for storage. There’s room for planting vegetables, playing games, or simply enjoying the sunshine.
