Occupying a plot of approximately 2.24 acres or thereabouts, the property offers an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a spacious family home with a range of outbuildings, adjoining woodland and enormous potential for further enhancement.Over Wyresdale is a highly regarded rural parish known for its rolling countryside, peaceful setting and strong agricultural heritage. The area offers excellent opportunities for a variety of outdoor activities, making it particularly appealing to those seeking a quieter country lifestyle.

The M6 motorway is readily accessible via Junctions 32 and 33, offering convenient links North and South, whilst a selection of well-regarded primary and secondary schools can be found within the surrounding villages.

Internally, the property comprises two characterful reception rooms with an open fire and log burner, a spacious kitchen diner, wet room, a recently fitted bathroom and four double bedrooms with a study that could be utilised as a further bedroom. The property also benefits from solar PV panels, and a solar DHW panel fitted to the roof providing renewable electricity and hot water.

Externally, the property is complemented by a range of outbuildings including a large greenhouse, workshop, log store and an adjoining large double garage with loft space. The garage, greenhouse and workshop all benefit from electricity. The adjoining land extends to include a damson orchard and wooded area planted by the vendors, providing an abundance of varying fruits with grass paths allowing access throughout.

The woodland shaded blue on the site plan provides a block of 6.50 acres or thereabouts of established woodland available by separate negotiation, benefiting from separate access off Tinkers Lane and crossed in part by a public footpath.

Combining space, privacy and immense scope in a highly desirable rural setting, this is a property perfectly suited to those looking for a lifestyle opportunity within the serene Lancashire countryside.
