The property blends historic stone character with practical modern upgrades including double glazing (installed post-2002) and mains gas central heating, while offering scope to live comfortably on one level with two usable ground-floor bedrooms and a large modern kitchen.
Outside, the large, enclosed rear garden and flagged front garden provide private outdoor space and ample off-street parking for multiple vehicles, a caravan or motorhome, plus a substantial garage. The village location places shops, pubs, riverside walks and bus routes on your doorstep, with Lancaster and its schools just a 20-minute drive.
