Property Details

Enjoying a peaceful rural setting and sitting on a plot just shy of one acre, this superbly maintained detached home offers versatile accommodation with stunning views in every direction—Morecambe Bay to the front, the Lakeland Hills to the rear, and Clougha to the side.

Internally, the layout is both spacious and flexible, ideal for multi-generational living or those working from home. The entrance porch opens to a generous hallway that connects the principal rooms. The bright main lounge features a Morso multi-fuel stove and enjoys an elevated outlook. There’s a second reception room filled with natural light, a ground floor study or fourth bedroom, and a modern shaker-style kitchen with panoramic views across the fields. A ground floor shower room adds practicality.

Upstairs, the three well-proportioned bedrooms each enjoy their own exceptional outlooks, and the family bathroom is neatly presented.

Outside, the home is bordered by land acquired from a neighbouring farm, including a wild allotment with fruit trees and a small paddock—perfect for nature enthusiasts or gardening lovers. The grounds are thoughtfully managed to encourage biodiversity and are known to attract barn owls, bats, and over 14 species of butterflies.

There’s off-street parking for multiple vehicles or a motorhome. The property benefits from LPG central heating, uPVC double glazing, and mains water and electric connections.
