From the Entrance Hall the stairs lead to the First Floor Landing which is spacious and light with 'Velux' roof window, providing some delightful views towards Morecambe Bay - the vendors have cleverly used all space here to create a lovely, relaxing, sitting area by adding a couple of easy chairs.

The Gardens are super and a credit to the current owners hard work and dedication. The Front Garden has a good sized area of level lawn with some very productive fruit trees including apple and pear. There is an attractive Paved Patio and ample Parking for 2-3 cars. The Rear Garden is also very generous with feature circular stone/pebbled area with crazy paved pathway and containing some very interesting and colourful plants, shrubs and trees including Japanese Maple, Ornamental Olive and impressive Cordyline! The lawns are well tended and the flower borders are beautifully stocked. There are are several mature trees (1 with tree house). The Summer House has a large decked and balustraded area to the front and is incredibly private and peaceful, with a very productive grape vine growing along the balustrade! A wonderful addition to this very desirable property.

The Single Garage is currently used for storage and has power, light, water and even a radiator! Parking is provided to the front for several vehicles.
