Love Homes Estate Agents are thrilled to present this distinguished home, nestled in a peaceful rural setting yet within a convenient driving distance to both the nearby town of Garstang and the city of Lancaster. The location combines tranquil country living with the practical benefits of accessibility, making it an ideal choice for commuters and families alike.

On approach, the home impresses with its striking stone-built façade. Offering a harmonious blend of traditional country charm with a contemporary edge, this property provides ample driveway parking for multiple vehicles. Tile pathways encircle the property, leading up to raised flower beds dotted with young shrubs that will grow into lush, mature borders over time. A detached double garage, complete with an electric up-and-over door, offers excellent storage options for vehicles or additional belongings and features solar panels on its roof. With side access from the rear garden and interior lighting and electrical sockets, the garage is both practical and versatile.

Entering the home through the composite front door, a beautifully panelled entrance porch greets you, setting an elegant tone. Marble-effect tiles flow seamlessly from the hallway through to the expansive kitchen, dining, and living space. From the hallway, access is provided to two reception rooms, with stairs leading to the upper floor. The entire ground floor is enhanced by underfloor heating, ensuring comfort throughout.

To the left of the hallway, a versatile study-accessed through a part-glazed door-features a UPVC sash window to the front elevation, wall-mounted sockets, and connections for a TV aerial. Opposite, the spacious living room offers a stunning focal point: a log burner framed by a stone mantelpiece. A media wall above the fireplace provides recessed space for a TV, complete with power and aerial sockets. The room is brightened by UPVC sash windows on two sides, complemented by panelled feature walls and wall-mounted lighting.

The kitchen showcases an array of tasteful Shaker-style wall and base units, all topped with a complementing work surface. Integrated appliances include a fridge-freezer, dishwasher, double NEFF electric oven, and an induction hob with a downdraft extractor built into the kitchen island, which also offers breakfast bar seating. The adjoining dining and living space features bi-fold doors that open to breathtaking countryside views and the landscaped rear garden. A media wall with an electric fireplace and wall-mounting space for a TV adds a contemporary focal point, while a further door leads to the utility room and W/C. Appointed with additional wall and base units, a sink, and space for both a washing machine and dryer, the utility room is elegantly tiled from floor to ceiling with matching floor tiles and includes a recessed storage ledge.

Ascending the stairs to the first floor, you arrive at a spacious landing with a wall-mounted picture light, providing access to four bedrooms, the family bathroom, and stairs leading to the second floor.

To the left, Bedroom Two features floor-to-ceiling windows with stunning views over the rolling countryside. An alcove offers an ideal spot for wardrobes, while chic bedside lighting adds elegance. There's also space for a wall-mounted TV. The en-suite bathroom is beautifully appointed with floor-to-ceiling tiling, recessed LED strip lighting, a ceiling-mounted rainfall shower with a handheld wand, a wash basin, a mirrored vanity, and a W/C with a recessed cistern. A chrome heated towel rail and a window to the side elevation complete this refined space.

To the right, Bedroom Three is a spacious double, also equipped with wall-mounted TV access and a window overlooking picturesque fields. Further down the landing, Bedroom Four offers views to the side elevation, wall-mounted sockets for a TV, and a storage cupboard for additional space. Bedroom Five is another well-proportioned double featuring a built-in storage cupboard, TV aerial access, and a window with side views.

The family bathroom suite is designed with sophistication, featuring a walk-in shower with both a rainfall head and a handheld wand, a wash basin, a chrome heated towel rail, and LED accents within the wall tiles. A window brings in natural light, adding to the inviting atmosphere.

Ascending the stairs to the second floor, you are welcomed into the master bedroom suite, a spacious retreat with panoramic views of rolling hills through a large window-perfect for a reading nook or home office space. The room offers ample versatility for a dressing area, relaxation zone, or seating arrangement. The en-suite bathroom is appointed with a luxurious bathtub featuring a waterfall tap, a recessed space for a bathroom TV, a chrome heated towel rail, a separate shower, and a wash basin. This master bedroom is a generous double, with views over the rear garden and surrounding fields, eaves storage, and ample space for furnishings and TV access.

Externally, the property boasts an expansive, predominantly lawned garden with tiled patios, ideal for outdoor seating arrangements. A raised bed with matching tiling offers a stylish space for shrubs and plants, making this garden a true blank canvas with endless possibilities. The garden is private and not overlooked, with gated access to the front and a door leading to the garage.

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
