Step inside to find the snug, with two sofas and armchair for relaxing upon, along with a TV for entertainment. Set up in the kitchen, tastefully-appointed with cabinets and given contemporary finishing touches, including a rangemaster gas cooker with six-ring hob. The kitchen has a lovely dual aspect, out to the back garden and the long view, through the dining room opposite to the front garden with the local fells as a backdrop. Move through to the main lounge, complete with an attractive window seat and open fire for those cosy evenings or find the conservatory for when the sun is shining.

From the door there is a great myriad of foot and bridle paths to choose from, whilst further afield lies Yorkshire’s Three Peaks (Ingleborough, Whernside and Peny- ghent) and Wainwright’s 214 Lakeland fells, making it an excellent choice for outdoor enthusiasts. Just over three miles away lies the market town of Carnforth, home to supermarkets and traditional inns, as well as the Carnforth Station Heritage Centre, making a great trip for the keen trainspotter.
