Property description

Welcome to The Old Pond House in Linden Close, Cleveleys, an exceptional four-bedroom detached home nestled directly behind the The Towers woodland, with bespoke architecture built by its current owners. The thriving town centre, Cleveleys and Rossall beaches and miles of beautiful coastal walks are mere minutes away, and the nearby tram line provides easy links to the wider Fylde coast. With multiple nurseries and primary schools nearby, plus a variety of volunteering opportunities and community events, the property is ideal for families looking to enjoy the laid-back lifestyle a close-knit coastal town affords.

Ground floor

The property lies behind a private gravel driveway with electric gates. An integrated garage can be accessed from the driveway, with space for additional vehicles outside.

Step through the front door into an impressive entrance hallway with exposed brick walls, lit by natural light through dual aspect windows by day, and spotlights by night.

The first room to your left is the living room, which features a grand, ornate open fireplace with marble surround, and a large eight-pane full-length bow window extending out to panoramic views over the garden and pond. A french door set into the adjacent wall also provides direct access into the garden, allowing you to bring the outside in during the summer months.

Next to the living room is the kitchen/dining room, a fantastic space for entertaining, hosting loved ones during special celebrations, or even just a quiet breakfast with the family. The kitchen itself is a Carl Josef bespoke kitchen with ice white Corian worktops. The double basin integrated sink features a macerator, and just behind sits a five-ring gas hob with extractor fan, plus an integrated double oven. There’s space amongst the handleless units for a fridge/freezer, as well as plumbing for a dishwasher underneath the sink unit.

French doors on the kitchen side and sliding doors on the dining area side lead directly out onto a decked area, built up over the elaborate landscaped rear garden with fantastic views across the manicured lawns and ponds. We think sitting here in the summer with a glass of wine, watching the ducks idly swimming by on the pond while enjoying the warmth would be the perfect way to spend an evening.

Back inside, the current owners have combined the kitchen space with a snug area, filled with seating, a TV and additional dining furniture to create the ideal place for the family to gather - while the designated family cook rustles up dinner.

The second reception room sits next to the kitchen, and the current owners have used this space as a second dining room. Again, this room has the added benefit of direct access out onto the patio through French doors.

The final spaces available on the ground floor are a separate WC with glass bowl sink, and a handy utility room to keep on top of all the family’s laundry.

First floor

The master suite is an exceptional space, with its own large ensuite, a balcony overlooking the beautiful garden and its own dressing room. The ensuite features a luxury Villeroy & Boch suite, with a newly fitted shower cubicle and heated towel rail.

Next to the ensuite is a walk-in wardrobe/dressing room space, with storage units built from floor to ceiling to accommodate even the busiest retail therapy sessions. Additionally, the bedroom has its own private balcony, accessed through French doors. Why set an alarm when you can open the doors and wake up to birdsong, instead?

Across the landing are three further double bedrooms, all of which also have built-in wardrobe storage - with plenty of room to spare. If you don’t require all four bedrooms for family members, they would be perfectly suited to a first floor office/study space, or guest rooms.

The bedrooms are served by a family bathroom. Lit by a modern skylight window set within a vaulted ceiling, this bathroom also showcases Villeroy & Boch fixtures and fittings.

And if all the bedroom built-in storage wasn’t enough, the loft space above the landing is boarded for storage, too.

Outside

The jewel in the crown of this home has got to be its spectacular landscaped garden, complete with its own private pond - the property’s namesake. The tree-lined border means you’re never overlooked, adding to the quiet privacy this property offers. Tucked away directly behind Linden Close is the Towers, a tranquil woodland area which is home to a variety of bird species including ducks, herons, moorhens and myriad garden birds. Because of this, your garden will always be a safe haven for feathered visitors, as well as the resident squirrel who’s sure to keep you entertained as you sip your coffee on the balcony each morning. The sound of birdsong will become part of your daily routine, and it’s the perfect place to unwind after a long day at work or school.

We believe The Old Pond House would make the perfect family home, perfect for a more relaxed, easygoing pace of life amongst nature and right by the seaside. With no chain delay, we’re not expecting this property to hang around for long.

About the area

Transport

Linden Close is a stone’s throw away from West Drive tram stop, at the West Drive/Rossall Road junction. Trams run regularly throughout the year, up to Fleetwood in one direction and Starr Gate at South Shore, Blackpool in the other. The tram link connects the property to the bright lights of Blackpool in just 30 minutes, taking in the world-famous illuminations in peak season.

Multiple bus services run by Blackpool Transport and Catch 22 run from Cleveleys centre, with direct journeys travelling all over the Fylde coast, including Poulton, Lytham and Fleetwood - even all the way down to Preston city centre.

Commuters can be on the M55 in under 20 minutes by car, and Blackpool Victoria Hospital is also around a 20 minute drive away.

Things to do and amenities:

Cleveleys has a thriving high street, with plenty of local small businesses to support. For the weekly food shop, you’re within a five-minute drive to an Aldi, a Lidl, a Herons food store, an Iceland, an M&S Food and a Morrisons supermarket. You’re spoiled for choice!

If you don’t feel like cooking, you can order online from dozens of takeaways and fast-food outlets, and there are multiple choices when it comes to dining out, too.

Within a 15-minute walk you’ll reach Jubilee beach, which was chosen in 2020 as the site for a Star Wars TV series. We love our beaches here on the Fylde coast, and Cleveleys is no exception. With its well-maintained promenade stretching up all the way to Fleetwood or South Shore uninterrupted, you could walk for miles and stop for multiple ice creams on the way.

Schools:

The property falls in the catchment area for lots of nurseries and primary schools, so you’ll never have to travel too far during the school runs. The highly regarded Rossall private school is just five minutes from The Old Pond House; offering the highest standards of education and childcare from pre-school age to secondary school. Northfold Community Primary School, St Teresa’s Catholic Primary School and Manor Beach Primary School are three highly regarded primary schools also close by. Although Cleveleys doesn’t have a secondary school, older children also have lots of options nearby. Millfield High School in Thornton, Fleetwood High School, and Cardinal Allen Catholic High School in Fleetwood, Hodgson Academy and Baines School in Poulton, and Montgomery Academy in Bispham are all within a 15-minute drive.
