Property description & features
- Tenure: Freehold
- Impressive detached family home
- Period Features
- Spacious living accommodation
- Five bedrooms
- Sweeping driveway
- Home of Distinction
As you enter the gates to the private driveway, you are drawn to this imposing family home. The driveway leads to a turning circle, and parking should never become an issue. The large lawned gardens wrap the property, finishing with a lovely walled garden to the rear.
The home itself is set over two floors and offers marvelous living accommodation. There is a separate outhouse that is currently used for storage, but it is versatile to be reconfigured if required. To the side, there is also a detached oak framed garage with a slate roof.
The property is sat on approximately 0.46 acres (0.19 hectares), and, with the way that the house has been designed and decorated to be sympathetic to its age, the current owners have blended it beautifully with modern furnishings, making this a great family-sized house, in an area that is ideal for M6 access (at junction 33), or those wanting an easy commute to Lancaster, Preston, The Fylde Coast, or the Lake District.
We highly recommend your early viewing.
