Description
A residential house plus a rare development opportunity in the heart of Bolton-le-Sands, comprising a refurbished four-bedroom home with planning consent for an additional dwelling. The existing property offers accommodation or immediate income potential. Ideally located on Main Road, close to village amenities, the coastline, and excellent transport links.
This superb residential property situated in the heart of Bolton le Sands offers an existing residential property which has been refurbished, and the benefit of planning consent for a further dwelling. The main house already onsite provides an excellent income opportunity and / or space for a developer to live whilst doing the works to the neighbouring property, as such, this is a rare find.
Occupying a prominent and accessible position on Main Road, the property offers excellent accessibility to the village amenities and is within walking distance of the beautiful surroundings and coastal position. The village offers everyday amenities including local shops, butchers, primary school to name a few. The larger market town of Carnforth is a short drive from the property and has excellent transport links with the railway station giving direct access to London Euston, Manchester and Glasgow via the Westcoast main line. Beyond the historic city of Lancaster offers further amenities and additional connection links via the M6 motorway. This unique opportunity is ideal for developers, investors or owner-occupiers.
Having been upgraded from its former life as “The Packet Boat Hotel”, the property now provides a fully refurbished 4-bedroom, semidetached property; together with planning consent for a separate dwelling adjoining the main house.
The main house provides a substantial property with generous accommodation over three floors. Accessed from the side entrance, it opens into a hallway which leads to a light and open living room. Double doors open to the kitchen space, which provides wall and base units and integral appliances, with an area for dining situated to provide an outlook over the front. To the rear of the kitchen is a useful utility space with a rear personnel access door. From the kitchen there is also access to a substantial cellar space, which offers further opportunity for upgrading to suit a purchaser’s needs.
The first floor of the property provides three double bedrooms, two with an outlook to the front, enjoying exceptional canal views, and one with an outlook to the side. The first floor bedrooms share the house bathroom, comprising WC, wash hand basin and bath with shower over.
Continue to the second floor and there is a superb suite space comprising a generous bedroom area, highly appointed ensuite with WC, wash hand basin, separate shower cubicle and freestanding bath. There is also a large dressing area providing excellent storage.
The property is ready to go and offers a superb home in the heart of Bolton le Sands. It also offers an excellent investment and rental opportunity for development-type interest.
Attached to the main property, is a further building which benefits from planning consent under Planning Reference 23/01380/FUL. This provides for approval of the change of use from a former public house. Note, the application is also supported by Listed Building Applications as shown on the Planning Portal.

Flood Risk
Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.
