Situated within the Lune Valley, the village offers a charming blend of countryside living with convenient links to nearby market towns and transport routes, making it an attractive location for families and those seeking a quieter lifestyle while remaining well connected.
To the front of the property is a lawn garden, a wonderful morning sun trap with space for outdoor seating. A gate opens into the main garden, enclosed for privacy and laid to lawn with additional seating areas and provides access to the garage.

Integrated appliances include a fridge/freezer, AGA, Neff microwave and wine cooler. A charming stable door with a feature beam above opens directly into the garden. The hallway also benefits from a useful understairs cupboard, ideal for coats and shoes.
The first floor landing leads to two bedrooms and the main bathroom. Bedroom three is a double room with a window overlooking the garden and integrated wardrobes. The bathroom is generously sized and includes an airing cupboard, bath, W.C. and sink, with scope for updating to suit personal tastes.
The main bedroom is full of character, featuring a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, space for a double bed and dual aspect windows that fill the room with natural light.
