Property description

A unique detached cottage set within a pleasant courtyard development in the rural Lune Valley hamlet of Aughton. This 2/3 bed home is full of character set over two and a half floors with extensive gardens and boasting spectacular views of the surrounding countryside. To the lower ground floor is a very quirky living room with a wood burning stove and floor to ceiling windows that show off the stunning views over the Lune Valley. The Ground floor has a double bedroom with en-suite, and an open plan dining hall and kitchen. The first floor has a feature galleried landing with views, and two bedrooms (one could be converted to a bathroom). The grounds provide a gated driveway with parking for several vehicles together with mature lawned gardens and gravelled patio area. Aughton is situated within easy reach of Lancaster and Kirkby Lonsdale yet enjoys the rural aspect of this area of outstanding natural beauty. Although the phrase may be something of a cliché, we believe that this is such a very individual property that it should be viewed to fully appreciate its charm and position.
