Description
LOCATION
The property is situated on Pier Lane, which runs between The Promenade and Church Hill in the centre of Arnside, at the south end of Cumbria, in the North West of England. Arnside is located approximately 8 miles northwest of Carnforth and Junction 35 of the M6, 4 miles south of Milnthorpe and 11 miles south of Kendal. Junction 36 of the M6 is circa 7 miles to the northeast and the A6 is 4 miles to the east. Arnside is a village and civil parish in South Lakeland, facing the River Kent Estuary on the northeast corner of Morecambe Bay. The village has a population of approximately 2,334 (2011 Census) and this former fishing port is now a modest size holiday resort accessible by rail, bus and car.
The village has retained many of the features from its past, now providing an attractive tourist destination on The Estuary where the River Kent enters Morecambe Bay with the Lakeland Fells offering a scenic backdrop to the views from The Promenade and village behind. There is a pier and walkway which make up the main tourist and retailing/leisure area along The Promenade which stretches approximately 400 metres.
Arnside and the nearby Silverdale, which is another attractive village 2 miles away, within Morecambe Bay, form part of the Arnside and Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The area covers approximately 29 square miles between the Kent Estuary and The River Keer with areas of interest including Arnside Knott and Warton Crag, both being large areas of carboniferous limestone. The area provides a number of popular walks and wildlife areas including Leighton Moss, owned by The RSPB and is one of the largest areas of reeds in North West England and Gait Barrows National Nature Reserve which is one of a number of SSSI sites in the area.
The properties form part of Pier Lane, which is a pedestrian walkway running southeast from The Promenade, meeting up with Church Hill, where there is Arnside Library, Arnside Educational Institute and predominantly residential houses. 2-6 Pier Lane are situated less than a 2 minute walk away from The Promenade and the main retail/leisure area.
