Owners say, 'we have resided at Ipsley Lodge for 39 years. It has been a wonderful family home, and we have fond memories of friends visiting us and taking advantage of the large rear garden. Similarly, we have enjoyed our visits to the Preston beach which is close by.'

Accessed through two stone gateposts, the front of the property offers hard standing parking for multiple vehicles which leads up to the INTEGRATED GARAGE. A generous portion of lawn sits below a pair of low maintenance beds and up a few steps, a front patio spans across the majority of the home with steps to the front door. The integrated garage has both light and power, along with space and plumbing for a washing machine and a utility area with every useful work surface and sink with drainer. The rear gardens offer the perfect blend of traditional lawn and planting with practical pathways giving access, and a terrace area directly abutting the property, perfect for alfresco dining. From the Conservatory (or personal door from the garage) the patio has steps, with beds either side, ascending to the first of two tiers of generous lawned areas, with a pathway to the side. The path meanders to the upper tier of lawn, with a seating area and dwarf wall at the top. Flanked by mature shrubs and trees offering contrasting colours as the seasons roll by, the rear garden certainly offers interest and space for any budding horticulturist.
