The views that change with the seasons are truly stunning, from misty mornings to golden sunsets. The vendors have seen 'the northern lights' reflecting off the reservoirs and have enjoyed the plethora of wildlife that lives alongside this home with the dramatic, picturesque backdrop of the fells beyond. It is truly remarkable. Expansive windows throughout the home frame the reservoir like a living painting. Whilst offering the ultimate in privacy, this home is positioned approximately a 15 minute drive from Garstang where there are a range of amenities - we just love this location.
The approach to the property is along a private road and from here you have views across the reservoir and fells. The road sweeps up to the house which is positioned at one end of the reservoir. Parking is found at the front of the property.
Upon entrance, you are greeted by a substantial front door, positioned within a stone arch opening onto the entrance hall. Here there is a karndean floor and a window to the front of the property.
The lounge was once known as 'the board room' and has amazing period features to include high ceilings, fabulous mouldings and a woodburning stove set in a stone surround. This truly is a magnificent room.
The dining room has views out to the front of the property and also has a kardean floor. A feature fireplace along with built in storage is included and this ambient room also has a window to the front of the property.
A further reception room includes a window to the front of the property, this has been used by the current vendors as a study.

A further reception room / bedroom is found off this hall and enjoys the views over the manicured gardens, grounds and reservoir.

A WC is found beyond. From this super space there is access to the beautiful gardens which are largely down to lawn with some mature trees.

The vendors have had the privilege of witnessing a diverse array of wildlife from this very spot, to include deer and a wide range of bird species.

Beyond the immediate boundary there are two further areas of garden which are currently rented and for further information we can furnish you with details of this. The vendors inform us that the third party would look to continue to rent the further land with the house. The rented garden is found adjacent and opposite Board House and has a cottage garden feel with raised beds, polytunnel with vine (and has produced wine!) along with a timber building used for storage.
