Princess Avenue, Clitheroe

An incredibly rare opportunity to create a truly special forever home in the heart of Clitheroe. Princess Avenue is a substantial four-bedroom detached property occupying a fantastic plot and representing the only traditional 'old school' house of its kind in the area.

The property now requires thorough updating and modernisation throughout both internally and externally, but behind its current presentation is a home with enormous potential. With generous proportions, three reception areas, four bedrooms and established fenced gardens, there is a fantastic foundation from which its next owners could create something exceptional.

One of the most exciting areas is the kitchen. Despite the wider property requiring improvement, the kitchen itself remains in very good condition, with quality solid wood cabinetry and granite worktops providing a superb starting point.

Sitting immediately alongside the largest of the three reception areas, there is also an exciting opportunity to explore creating a substantial open-plan kitchen, dining and living space.

The remaining ground-floor accommodation provides plenty of versatility. There is a separate cosy lounge with a multi-fuel burning stove, while the larger reception room also benefits from its own multi-fuel stove. A separate conservatory provides a third living area and creates another connection between the house and its gardens.

Further practical accommodation has been created through the conversion of the former garage, which now provides a dedicated utility area together with a separate studio. This offers excellent flexibility for anyone requiring a home office, creative space, gym or hobby room.

To the first floor are four bedrooms and the family bathroom. The largest bedroom has previously been utilised as a games room, highlighting the scale and versatility of the accommodation available.

Externally, the established grounds are another major part of the property's appeal. Traditional fenced gardens surround the home, with a number of different patio and seating areas creating separate spaces to enjoy throughout the day. Mature flower beds are filled with established plants and colour, giving the gardens a wonderful sense of character that has developed over time.

There is no hiding from the fact that Princess Avenue requires investment and significant modernisation. However, for the right buyer, that is precisely what makes this such an exciting opportunity.

Rather than paying for somebody else's choices, this is a chance to take a rare traditional Clitheroe home with fantastic proportions, established gardens and huge potential, and completely reimagine it around your own lifestyle.

With the right vision and investment, Princess Avenue has all the ingredients to become an absolutely incredible forever family home.
