Located in the heart of the village, the home is near a traditional pub, a church, a community tennis club, a children's play park, a bowling green, scenic countryside walks, and a fantastic primary school. The community also features a village hall and is a short drive from supermarkets, independent retailers, and the historic market town of Garstang.

Upon arrival, you are greeted by a private front garden, mainly laid to lawn with established hedgerows that add greenery and privacy. Tasteful paving stones lead to the front and sides of the property. Entering through the part-glazed UPVC front door, you are welcomed into the porch, which serves as a perfect cloakroom with windows on two sides, lighting, and a radiator. This room is filled with light through a part-glazed wooden door that opens into the entrance hallway.

The spacious hallway, adorned with rustic doors, leads to a study, W/C, kitchen, under-stairs storage, and part-glazed double wooden doors into the living room. The hallway boasts two front-facing windows that flood the space with natural light, complemented by electric sockets and radiators. Currently, the vendors use this area as a music room and seating area, but its versatile layout allows for various uses, such as a play area or formal dining space.

The open-plan kitchen and dining room is a fantastic space featuring exposed brickwork and a fireplace housing a log burner. This room comfortably accommodates a large dining table and additional seating, creating a combined kitchen-dining-living area. It includes a radiator, electric sockets, tv aerial access and two front-facing windows.

The central feature of this room is the gas fired AGA, positioned between two windows for ample natural light. The kitchen is enhanced by downlights under the wall units and a kitchen island/breakfast bar with storage and seating for 4-5 people.

This room, with front and rear windows, electric sockets, and a radiator, could serve various purposes, such as an additional seating area or a home gym.

The current owners have created an outdoor kitchen facility with space for a BBQ, pathways leading to an allotment area, a garden room, and a further outbuilding. This outbuilding, previously a piggery, has planning permission for a replacement structure comprising a workshop, home office/studio, and gym space, including a wet room and kitchenette. Externally the property offers a further shed for storage and a greenhouse. The allotment features a storage shed, raised beds, and pathways, providing a secure and separate area from the main garden.

At the rear of the day-to-day garden lies a field and wild meadow, beautifully maintained with pathways winding through and around the green space. This area includes ample fruit trees, established trees, shrubs, and hedges. A purpose-built children's castle is situated in the wooded area, making this space perfect for families.

Overall, this exceptional home offers plenty of scope for a new buyer to add their own stamp and create a personalised living space.
