Set around a quiet courtyard of eight converted barns, this split-level home offers generous family living across about 1,582 sq ft. The large main lounge with high ceilings and picture windows feels bright and welcoming, while the contemporary kitchen–diner opens onto a south‑west facing garden — a sunny, private spot for play or alfresco dining. The principal bedroom has fitted wardrobes and an en‑suite, with a second bedroom also benefiting from an en‑suite and a third served by the family bathroom.
Practical features include a double garage, private parking directly outside the house, a useful utility area and a flexible second reception room that works well as a home office. The property sits on a long lease (976 years remaining) with a modest service charge (£45 pcm) administered by a residents’ management company; there is no ground rent. Heating is mains gas via a recently serviced boiler, and the EPC is C (79).
Buyers should note a few material considerations. Broadband speeds in the area are very slow, and the development uses a shared private treatment plant for drainage maintained by the residents’ company. The building is stone/solid brick and may lack modern wall insulation; any buyer seeking major energy upgrades should factor potential insulation work into plans. There are also occupancy and external alteration restrictions (single‑family occupation only; no external rendering or painting of stonework).
Overall this is a well‑presented, chain‑free barn conversion in a peaceful, rural‑edge location close to Lancaster University and the M6. It will suit families who value space, character and outdoor living, as well as buyers wanting a low‑maintenance community setting with good parking and garaging.
