Description

This Grade II listed Country House presents a significant renovation opportunity, nestled in a peaceful setting surrounded by approximately 6.5 acres of gardens, grass paddocks, and woodland ponds. Located conveniently between Garstang and Lancaster with easy access to the A6 and M6 motorways, this property boasts exclusive canal frontage which adds to its charm. The extensive living space spans three floors, covering around 225 sq.m (2,421 sq.ft), featuring three reception rooms and four generously sized bedrooms. While it retains its period character through original details such as open fireplaces and sash windows with shutters, modernisation is essential to enhance its functionality and aesthetics. The layout offers versatile use of space; two of the bedrooms can serve as a formal lounge or study. The outside area includes extensive lawned gardens, an orchard, and private access to the canal—ideal for outdoor enthusiasts. Additionally, there are areas that could be developed further or transformed into functional spaces like stables or leisure facilities. As the property currently requires updates including necessary compliance with septic tank regulations, it represents an excellent investment for those looking to create their dream home amid tranquil countryside.
