Nestled at the end of a tranquil cul-de-sac near Station Road, this property, known as Station House, holds significant historical value as it was once the residence of the village’s Station Master. Built in the mid-19th century, it has ties to the former Lancaster to Wennington railway line, which ceased operations in 1966. Today, this home enjoys a serene setting close to the Lune Valley cycle path, ideal for outdoor enthusiasts who appreciate walking and cycling amidst picturesque scenery that includes the river Lune and surrounding countryside. The village centre with its array of shops and eateries is within easy reach, while Lancaster lies just a short drive away.
Inside, this property showcases a generous layout with abundant potential for modernization and reconfiguration. The entrance opens to a spacious bay-fronted lounge featuring exposed beams and an impressive stone fireplace topped with a copper canopy—elements that reflect its rich heritage. The rear area comprises a kitchen and dining zone equipped with oak cabinetry and space for necessary appliances, leading into a bright conservatory that overlooks the gardens.
Accommodating three bedrooms—two good-sized doubles and a single—the main bedroom includes fitted storage and an en-suite shower room. Additional amenities comprise another bathroom, a separate WC, and a utility area. The interior retains numerous original features such as timber doors and deep window sills but now demands comprehensive renovation efforts providing an excellent opportunity to tailor it according to personal taste.
The extensive outdoor space is surrounded by mature trees and hedging that ensure privacy. A double garage complements the property alongside a gravelled driveway offering ample off-street parking. With both front and rear gardens ripe for landscaping or even potential extension (subject to planning permission), this property represents a remarkable investment opportunity in need of transformation.
