The four-bedroom detached home in Ingol, known as The Bridge House, was included in Rightmove’s list of top five most-viewed houses in that price bracket and is currently on the market for offers over £375,000.
The property sits alongside the Lancaster Canal and stands out not just for its location, but also for its unusual appeal – built into the end of a bridge, the home features more than 1,600 square feet of living space and potential for private mooring.
Rightmove said: “It’s not every day that houses built into the end of a bridge come on the market, but that’s exactly what this home in Ingol, Preston, offers.
“Known as The Bridge House, this detached property sits alongside the Lancaster Canal.
“It’s available for offers over £375,000, so is closer to the national average price of £378,304 than the other homes here.
“However, with over 1,600 sq ft of space, four bedrooms and the potential for private mooring, it’s a rare and spacious opportunity for anyone seeking a waterside home.”
The Bridge House is located on a residents-only section of Cottam Lane, with vehicle access from both Ingol and Ashton.
A gated driveway offers parking for up to two cars and a detached double garage.
The side yard includes a decked seating area and steps leading up to the fourth bedroom, providing privacy and flexibility.
The showpiece of the property is the landscaped rear garden, which backs directly onto the canal.
Features include a lawn, a man-made stream, and a waterfall feature.
A raised seating area offers a tranquil spot to enjoy the garden, while the canal-side walkway is ideal for mooring a canal boat.
Rightmove said: “Combining character, versatility, stunning surroundings and exceptional outdoor space, Bridge House represents a truly one-of-a-kind family home.
“From pastel-coloured terraced homes to truly unique waterside properties, the UK housing market is full of listings that stand out for far more than just their price per square foot.
“Whether it’s original features, bold interior designs or idyllic locations, buyers continue to be drawn to properties that offer something a little different.
“This is a roundup of the most-viewed homes on Rightmove in May that cost less than £400,000. The list confirms that prospective homeowners don’t need to stretch beyond the average UK asking price to find the perfect property that ticks all the boxes.”
