About the Property

Occupying an elevated plot, this detached home offers generous accommodation arranged predominantly across one level, with a substantial double garage beneath. The property is offered with no onward chain and, while many will consider undertaking a programme of modernisation, this property could be done in stages while you are living there. Its proportions, setting and outlook provide considerable potential for a buyer looking to create a home to their own specification.

The main entrance is approached via steps and a pathway to the side of the house, opening first into a private conservatory and from here into a spacious central hallway. The principal living accommodation is positioned towards the front to take advantage of the elevated outlook. A large living room offers plenty of space for seating and features a fireplace, while the adjoining dining area has further windows and access onto the front balcony – a great spot from which to appreciate the far-reaching views across Morecambe. The kitchen is positioned alongside the living accommodation and is fitted with a range of units.

There are three double bedrooms, with built-in storage to two, giving the house plenty of flexibility for couples, families or buyers wanting additional office or guest space. A family bathroom and separate shower room complete the main accommodation.

Beneath the property is an impressive undercroft double garage, with internal access, an electric door and substantial storage space that could be used as a utility space. This is complemented by the substantial block-paved driveway to the front, giving the property considerably more off-road parking than many homes in the area.

Outside, the rear garden rises steeply behind the house and is arranged over several tiers with established planting, mature trees and paved areas. Its position adjoining Torrisholme Barrow creates a particularly green backdrop and offers plenty of scope for a keen gardener to rethink the space.

The house would now benefit from comprehensive updating, including general decoration and likely improvements to areas such as the windows, electrics, heating and plumbing. For buyers prepared to take on the work, however, this is a distinctive detached home with three double bedrooms, excellent garaging, extensive parking and an elevated setting that is difficult to replicate.
