NO CHAIN You Know That Feeling When A House Just Works For Your Family From Day One? This 2019 Linden Homes detached on a south-facing corner plot has the space, the garden, the sought-after school catchment and the sociable kitchen-diner you've been dreaming about. Almost 1500 square feet.

Every family has a mental picture of their ideal home. Most of the time, the reality involves a compromise somewhere - the school catchment is right but the garden's too small, or the house is great but the commute's a grind. This one is pretty close to the perfect picture.

The kitchen-diner is where you'll spend most of your time. It's a great space with white gloss units, double ovens and French doors that open straight onto the patio - so on a warm evening, inside and outside stop feeling like two separate things. 

There's more than enough room for a full-sized dining table with chairs to spare, which matters more than people realise until they're hosting Christmas Dinner for the whole family.

The lounge is a proper family room - wide, deep and flooded with light from both the front window and the curving bay. The media wall has been built in with alcove shelving either side and an inset widescreen fire, which means you're not moving furniture around trying to make a flat screen look like it belongs.

Upstairs, the four bedrooms are all doubles. The main bedroom has floor-to-ceiling mirrored sliding wardrobes that make the room feel even bigger than it is and its own ensuite. The other three bedrooms will work as kids' rooms, a guest room or a home office - whatever your family actually needs. 

There's a family bathroom with a shower over the bath.

The back garden is one of the best features here. The south-facing corner plot gives you space that most detached homes in this price range simply don't have. The artificial lawn is easy to keep, and the raised composite decking with its covered pergola and firepit is the kind of setup you'd plan and save up for - but it's already done.

The detached garage sits at the back of the driveway, giving you secure storage or a workshop space depending on what you need.

Penwortham Middleforth CofE Primary is only an eight-minute walk from your front door, so you can leave the car at home.

Day-to-day, the Co-op and a parade of shops and takeaways on Pope Lane are a couple of minutes away in the car. 

If you fancy a walk into town, you can head through the nature reserve, over the river and through Avenham Park - a genuinely lovely route that will take around 45 minutes. Or you can drive it in under ten minutes. 

Preston train station is under ten minutes away too, with West Coast Mainline services to London, Glasgow, Manchester and Liverpool.

Most modern family homes in Penwortham might tick two or three of the boxes on your list. This one ticks them all.
