You'll Walk In And Immediately Start Planning Your First Party. The kitchen extension - all lantern roof and bi-fold doors onto the garden - does that to people. And that's before you find the bar in the recently converted garage. A fabulous 2017 Redrow family home that’s been turned up to 11.

A stylish sociable kitchen that opens onto the garden, a converted garage with a fully fitted bar, a hot tub on the decking and a log burner for good measure. Whoever lives here knows how to have a good time - and they've built the house around it.

The kitchen-diner is the heart of it. The owners have pushed the space out into the garden with a full extension - lantern roof flooding the room with light, bi-fold doors opening the whole back wall onto the garden when the weather plays along, and a log burner sitting in the corner for the nights it doesn't.

There's a space for a proper dining table in here, space to cook without getting under each other's feet and that easy connection between inside and outside that families with kids quickly realise they can't live without.

Off the kitchen, a utility room and a ground floor WC keep the everyday clutter out of the main living spaces.

The converted garage is the room that raises an eyebrow. What was once a standard single garage is now a proper entertainment lounge - complete with a bar, mood lighting, and a panelled feature wall that gives it real character.

Across the hall, a separate dining room gives you the flexibility to use it as a snug, a playroom, or a home office - whatever the family needs right now.

Upstairs, four double bedrooms are arranged across the first floor. The main bedroom has fitted sliding wardrobes and its own ensuite shower room - monochrome tiled floor, glass shower enclosure - and it feels like a proper retreat from the rest of the house.

The three remaining bedrooms are all solid doubles, and there's a family bathroom with an over-bath shower serving them. A storage cupboard off the landing keeps the upstairs feeling tidy.

Outside, the front has a driveway with space for several cars. The rear garden has been set up for minimum effort and maximum enjoyment - artificial lawn, a raised decking area with glass balustrade, a hot tub, and a garden shed.

The whole thing is enclosed with tall fencing for privacy.

Clayton-le-Woods is well placed for families - Worden Park is a short drive away, and the local schools have a solid reputation. The M6, M61 and M65 are all within easy reach, making Preston, Bolton and Manchester straightforward commutes. Leyland station is nearby for anyone who prefers the train.

If you want a home that's already been extended, converted and finished to a high standard - one where the hard work is done and the fun starts the moment you get the keys - this is a rare find..
