Summary - Five Ashes House, Burrow Road LA2 0AP
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Spacious period home with nearly an acre of private grounds and paddock.
Five double bedrooms across three floors, two ensuite bathrooms
Dating back to 1792, this substantial former farmhouse sits in c.0.9 acres of private grounds and enjoys wide country views towards the Lakeland fells and Fylde coast. Generous, well-connected reception rooms, a dining kitchen and five double bedrooms are arranged over three floors, offering flexible family living or a work-from-home layout with plenty of space to spread out.
The house blends period character — exposed stone, window seats, cast-iron fireplaces and oak floors — with modern environmental technology: a ground-source heat pump provides underfloor heating to the ground and first floors. Principal bedroom and a second-floor suite both have ensuites; a large house bathroom includes a double-ended bath with countryside aspect. Off-street parking, a large single garage and a paddock add valuable practical space.
Practical points to note: broadband speeds are very slow in this remoter location, drainage is private, and council tax is band F (expensive). External walls are original sandstone/limestone with no confirmed insulation and some upgrading may be needed if you want to improve energy efficiency beyond the existing heat pump. The garage forecourt is open-plan with the neighbour’s parking, so vehicle positioning requires consideration.
Overall this is a roomy, characterful family home in a peaceful hamlet setting for buyers seeking rural living with modern heating, substantial gardens and flexible accommodation. It will particularly suit families, professionals seeking home working space, or purchasers wanting a countryside base within commuting reach of Lancaster and the university.
