2 Lodges Grove, Bare, Morecambe, Lancashire, LA4 6HE

Standing at the entrance to this well-regarded cul-de-sac in the heart of Bare on the north eastern fringes of the popular seaside resort of Morecambe, this detached house was built in the 1930s and still has a number of architectural features of the period. If offers well proportioned accommodation which has been partially modernised and offers the opportunity to undertake further work and also possibly extend as the surrounding gardens offer scope for extension (subject to planning).
